Google Introduces New Ad Format for Shopping in AI Mode

Ad blocks will now be embedded directly into the conversation with the neural network. For example, if you ask Gemini or type a query into search like, “Which backpack is better for a hike in the forest?” Previously, the AI would simply give advice, and you would go to the regular search to make a purchase. Now, Shopping Ads will be integrated directly into the response.

Google is turning search into more than just a tool for delivering information - it is becoming a full-fledged personal shopping assistant. For users, this will save even more time, and for businesses, it offers a new and interesting way to sell products.
