Woolworths Partners With Google To Upgrade Olive

Woolworths said it is partnering with Google to use Gemini Enterprise to transform its chatbot Olive into a shopping companion, working on a bespoke tool using seven years of customer insights. The retailer says Olive will provide meal plans, identify specials and budget-friendly swaps and act as a shopping assistant, though no New Zealand launch date was set. An academic warns of data-sharing risks and biased recommendations.
