Google Launches AI Universal Cart Across Services

Google unveiled Universal Cart at Google I/O 2026, an AI-powered shopping tool integrated across Search, Gemini, YouTube, and Gmail. It analyzes product descriptions, compares listings, tracks price history, monitors stock availability, and flags incompatible items in shopping carts. Powered by Gemini large language models and the Universal Commerce Protocol developed with major retailers and Stripe, the tool streamlines checkout via Google Wallet and Google Pay. U.S. availability begins this summer in Search and the Gemini app, with Gmail and YouTube support to follow.
