## Resource

This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five segment explores Google's new Universal Cart, which allows shoppers to add products from Search, Gemini, YouTube, and Gmail into a single AI-powered shopping experience. Chris Walton and Shelley Huff discuss why Google has pursued this vision for years, how AI-powered shopping could reshape customer behavior, and whether Google's latest move represents the biggest challenge Amazon has faced in e-commerce. The conversation also examines the risks for retailers if Google begins controlling product discovery, comparison shopping, checkout, and customer decision-making. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/3lV5GVTa-TQ #Google #AIShopping #UniversalCart #Ecommerce #RetailTechnology #RetailNews #Amazon #Gemini #DigitalCommerce #OmniTalk This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
