Google’s AI Mode can now help you find products that are nearby

Google has launched new features designed to help with summer travel planning. The tech giant announced on Friday that its internal AI agent AI Fashion now helps to check if what you need is in stock in a nearby store, and that you can also track the prices of individual hotels directly in Search.

With the latest AI Mode update, Google can now contact local stores for you to find out which store carries the specific item you’re looking for. This feature launched directly on Search in November, and is now rolling out in AI Mode in the coming weeks in the United States.

You can describe what you need, such as “I forgot to pack my prescription sunglasses, so I’m trying to find a pair of clip-on polarized ones to go with my existing glasses. Where can I get some nearby?” Google will then make the calls and send you the details afterwards.

Although you can already track hotel prices at the city level, the new update allows you to do this for a specific hotel of your choice. On desktop, you can do this by searching for a hotel by name and then tapping the new price-tracking toggle. On mobile, you’ll find the option under the “Prices” tab after the search. Once you’ve set it up, you’ll receive an email alert when the price changes on your selected dates.

As part of its announcement, Google shared that the top trending international and domestic destinations on Google Flights for summer 2026 include St. Maarten, Stockholm, Kansas City, Missouri, and Sarasota, Florida.

It also shared that search interest in “AI travel assistant” and “AI concierge” increased by 350% last year. In addition, “how to use AI to find flight deals” emerged as a trending “flight deals” query last month, and interest in “AI flight reservations” jumped 315%.
