Summary
Google is testing a “Buy” button in Gemini and AI Mode that lets select users in India purchase Flipkart products directly from the AI interface via a Flipkart-branded checkout, expanding agentic commerce ahead of India’s festive shopping season. The test is limited to some users and product categories; rival Amazon listings shown in the same interface lack the direct-buy option.

Google, Gemini’de Flipkart’tan doğrudan alışverişi test ediyor
Google, Hindistan’da seçili kullanıcılara Gemini ve AI Mode’da Flipkart ürünlerinden doğrudan satın alma imkânı sunan “Buy” butonunu test ediyor. Checkout Flipkart markalı — Google-hosted değil. Test, akıllı telefon, elektronik ve aksesuar kategorileriyle sınırlı; Ekim 2026’da genişletme planlanıyor.
Aynı arayüzde Amazon listeleri görünüyor ancak doğrudan satın alma seçeneği yok. Google 2024’te Flipkart’a ~350 milyon dolar yatırım yapmıştı; platform Walmart’a ait.
Bu bir ürün lansmanı değil, erken aşama pilot. Agentic commerce trendinde keşiften işleme geçişin somut örneği.
