Google Lens Wants To Enhance In-Store Shopping 🛒

Google Lens just got a major upgrade to make shopping in stores smarter.

Now, you can snap a picture of any product, like the toy your kid is screaming at you to buy or the beauty item your mom said would make you look 5 years younger, and compare prices, check local inventory, and read reviews. Powered by Google’s Shopping Graph and Gemini models, this new feature currently works with retailers like Target, Macy’s, and Nordstrom. It’s live on the Google and Chrome apps for Android and iOS in the U.S.

Google is also rolling out a Maps update to search for in-stock products nearby and adding more “buy now, pay later” options to Google Pay, like Afterpay.
