Google Gemini Transforms into AI Shopping Assistant with Walmart Integration

Google has upgraded its Gemini AI from a simple chatbot into a full-fledged shopping assistant. Users can now search for products, receive personalized recommendations, and complete purchases directly within the chat interface. Major retailers including Walmart, Shopify, and Wayfair are already integrated. This move marks Google's entry into the competitive AI commerce space, where rivals like OpenAI and Amazon are also expanding. The feature is rolling out in the U.S. first, with a global launch expected soon.
