Universal Cart, the Gemini-powered shopping cart Google previewed at I/O in May, is now rolling out in the US across the Gemini app and Google Search AI Mode, saving products from multiple retailers in one place. It sends alerts on price drops and restocks, surfaces promo codes, and lets users pay with Google Wallet or transfer items to a merchant's own cart, while weighing the perks of saved credit cards to suggest a payment method. Gmail and YouTube integration is planned without a timeline, and checkout appears to run one retailer at a time.
