Google has rolled out a new suite of AI-shopping tools just ahead of the holiday season. These include: conversational shopping inside Google Search, a “agentic checkout” experience (where the system helps complete your purchase), and an AI that can call local stores to check product availability.

This signifies a push from Google to blur the line between “search” and “shopping” by embedding AI agents that act for users. For IT professionals and developers it suggests that consumer-facing interfaces will increasingly become “intelligent agents” rather than static search forms. If you build e-commerce sites (and you do via your Fiverr profile), this is a signal: integrating AI-based conversational front-ends could become a differentiator.
