Google unveiled a new iteration of its professional Gemini AI suite geared toward online retail, seeking to create seamless interactions for shoppers from product searches to customer service on Sunday.
Gemini will allow a personalise search option and allow the user to shop, interact with customer service without leaving the Google application.
Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience (CX) will "use complex reasoning to understand intent and execute multi-step tasks on behalf of a customer taking into account their preferences and consent," Google said in a statement.
As users consume information using the chatbot, they will be able to see products based on their preferences from companies that Gemini adopted from earlier history.
The online search giant said it has already signed agreements with prominent US franchises such as Papa John's pizzerias, Lowe's home improvement stores, and supermarket mega-chains Walmart and Krogers.
Kevin Vasconi, Papa John's chief digital and technology officer said, “We're working together to personalize every interaction, simplify every decision, and remove friction within customer touchpoints.”
Walmart also said that the tool will help the consumers to select the best suited option, converting the product searches into sale.
"We want to help customers get what they need and want, when and where they want it," said John Furner, incoming president and CEO of Walmart, promising "seamless shopping experiences...that are more intuitive and personal than ever before."
Google along with its partners made the announcement as the annual conference of the National Retail Federation, the world's largest retail trade association, got underway in New York.
