Gap, described as an American equivalent to H&M, is introducing the ability to buy underwear and socks directly through Google's AI service Gemini. In practice, customers will be able to purchase clothing items without leaving the platform, handle payment digitally, and then have the items delivered as usual. This move positions Gap as the first major American player to enable purchases directly in Google's AI service Gemini.

The AI revolution is shaping large parts of society, and the fashion industry is no exception. However, key details remain unclear, including what specific underwear and sock products are available for purchase through this AI service and when exactly the service will become available to customers. Pricing details or any promotional offers for purchases made through Gemini have not been disclosed, and it is unknown how the integration with Google's Gemini AI service works technically for handling transactions.

Additionally, limitations or restrictions on which countries or regions can access this service have not been confirmed.
