Google's 'Universal Cart' Is Your New AI Shopping Assistant

Featured Replies

Among the many AI-powered features announced today at Google I/O 2026 is a new "intelligent shopping cart" designed to help you find items faster and make purchasing more seamless. Universal Cart is an agentic hub that works across Google, so you can add products from multiple merchants while using Search, Gemini, YouTube, and Gmail to a single shopping cart.

How Google's new Universal Cart works

Once you add an item to your Universal Cart, Gemini will search for deals, show pricing history, and alert you to price drops and restocks. It can suggest other products relevant to your purchase, identify potential problems (such as items that are incompatible), and provide alternatives. For example, if you're buying parts to build a PC, Universal Cart may warn you if one component isn't compatible with another.

Universal Cart integrates with Google Wallet, so it will also consider loyalty points, merchant offers, and rewards programs to look for additional savings. Finally, you can complete your purchase from your cart with Google Pay or transfer saved items to the retailer's website. These checkout features will be integrated for merchants like Nike, Sephora, Target, Ulta, Walmart, Wayfair, and Shopify merchants.

Universal Cart builds on existing AI shopping features from Google, like price tracking and agentic checkout, powered by the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP). Google says the feature runs on its Gemini models, so Universal Cart should continue to improve as the company upgrades its AI over time.

When is Universal Cart coming out?

Universal Cart is rolling out to Search and the Gemini app this summer (in the U.S.) and will eventually integrate with YouTube and Gmail. Google is also expanding agentic checkout features to users in Canada, Australia, and the U.K. as well as to YouTube in the U.S. and services like hotel booking and food delivery.
