The Daily Money: Google offers AI help for holiday shopping; gas prices down for travel
Good morning. This is Betty Lin-Fisher bringing you the top headlines of the day.
If you need some help with your holiday shopping, Google wants to help with AI.
Google is expanding its artificial intelligence capabilities to help consumers shop during the holiday season. Starting today, Google is updating its Search Generative Experience (SGE), which brings generative AI capabilities into a search. It is available by opt-in on the Google app, home page or Chrome desktop.
Google is also expanding its virtual try-on tool to include men's tops, and a feature to generate photorealistic images of what you're shopping for will also be available in December.
Gas prices are falling just in time for the Thanksiving drive
If you're going to hit the road for Thanksgiving next week, there's good news: gas prices are falling nationwide.
The national average for a gallon of unleaded gasoline dipped on Tuesday to $3.353, the lowest since February, according to AAA, a federation of motor clubs throughout North America. Even in California, where prices are among the steepest in the country, the price for a gallon of unleaded has come down from $5.638 a month ago and $5.138 last week to $5.059, according to AAA.
AAA is forecasting that 55.4 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles between Wednesday, Nov. 22 and Sunday, Nov. 26 and that 49.1 million will be driving.
