A new artificial intelligence tool for shopping is coming to Chrome. It will be able to compare products in different tabs and provide brief descriptions. This was reported by The Verge.
The tool will be called Tab Comparison. It will use generative AI to "pull" product data from open tabs and compile it into a single table.
For now, the tool will only be able to compare products, but in the future, it can be any information, such as comparing hotels, universities, or even tourist routes.
Tables created by this tool are limited to 10 elements. According to a Google representative, tables that contain more elements do not scale well and become unreadable.
But for all its potential benefits, this tool can also "take away" traffic from sites that already perform such functions. In addition, there are some reasons to expect that Google's tool may provide inaccurate information.
Google also announced some other AI features for Chrome, including Google Lense, a feature similar to Circle to Search.
