The tech giant announced on Friday that its agentic AI within <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/04\/16\/google-now-lets-you-explore-the-web-side-by-side-with-ai-mode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI Mode<\/a> can now help check whether what you need is in stock at a nearby store, and that you can now also track prices for individual hotels directly in Search.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its latest AI Mode update, Google can now contact local stores on your behalf to find out what shop carries the specific item you\u2019re looking for. This feature launched directly on Search last November, and is now rolling out on AI Mode in the coming weeks in the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can describe what you need, like \u201cI forgot to pack my prescription sunglasses, so I\u2019m trying to find a pair of clip-on polarized ones that fit over my current glasses. Where can I get some nearby?\u201d Google will then make the calls and send you the details afterwards. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although you can already track hotel prices at the city level, the new update lets you do so for a specific hotel that you\u2019re interested in. On desktop, you can do this by looking up a hotel by name and then tapping the new price tracking toggle. On mobile, you\u2019ll find the option under the \u201cPrices\u201d tab after you search. Once you set this up, you will receive an email alert if the price changes during your chosen dates.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Google \/<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of its announcement, Google shared that the top trending international and domestic destinations on Google Flights for summer 2026 include St. Maarten, Stockholm, Kansas City, Missouri, and Sarasota, Florida.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also shared search interest in \u201cAI travel assistant\u201d and \u201cAI concierge\u201d has surged by 350% over the past year.
