New Google AI experimental features will help you get the best prices

Trying to get the best price to get your nails done or your car serviced involves calling multiple businesses to find out how much they charge. It can be quite a tedious process, but Google changing that with a new experimental AI feature. This new AI feature is designed to find the best price and availability for you.

This feature is available on Google Search for both desktop and mobile users when searching for services like “nail salons nearby” or “oil change.” All users need to do is click on “Get started” and enter the details of your request. From there, Google’s AI will contact local businesses on your behalf. It will gather relevant information, and send you a summary of pricing and availability. This eliminates the need for manual phone calls and saves you valuable time.

As an experimental feature, this AI-powered service is not yet available for all service types or businesses. While it aims to streamline service bookings, its capabilities are still evolving. Its availability is also based on location and business participation.

According to Google, this experimental AI feature leverages user interactions to refine and enhance its generative AI capabilities in Search. This includes analyzing what users search for and their feedback, such as thumbs-up or thumbs-down ratings. This means that you as the user and as a business owner will have to be comfortable with the idea of AI collecting data on your behalf.
