The update to Google Lens onAndroidandiOSuses AI to transform the in-store and local shopping experience, Google said in its latestThe Keyword blog.
When you’re shopping in store, you will be able to “snap a photo to find product information, similar products in-stock, whether a store’s price is competitive and shopper reviews”.
It will work across beauty products, toys and electronics to start with, and at stores that share their local inventory with Google. It means that if you see something within one of those categories at a store you are shopping in, you can take a picture and then find out whether the price the store is offering is competitive. You can also find out what else there might be that’s similar and where else you might be able to find it.
