What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Google has begun testing a feature that allows shoppers in India to purchase products from Flipkart directly through its Gemini assistant and AI Mode search interface. The capability presents users with a “Buy” button on select Flipkart product listings, routing them to a Flipkart checkout flow without exiting the AI interface. The test is currently limited to a small group of users and covers items such as smartphones, electronics, and mobile accessories. Google plans to expand the feature more broadly in October, timed for India’s festive shopping season.
