Gemini Powers Conversational Commerce For Retail
Google's Gemini model is expanding into e-commerce in 2025, positioning itself as a conversational sales assistant across Google products. Gemini 3 (released late 2025) and I/O 2025 updates highlight multimodal capabilities—image, text, voice—and advanced reasoning for product recommendations, virtual showrooms, and pricing. Google intends to monetize Gemini through ads by 2026, prompting retailers like Walmart and Target to explore integrations amid privacy concerns.
