Googles new tech will let you buy stuff directly from an AI chatbot

As if we're not already spending too much on online purchases, Google just announced new tech that will make shopping even easier.

At the core of the announcement is the just-launched Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), a "new open standard for agentic commerce."
