Trying on clothes with your own photo and price alert: Google expands AI functions within shopping
Google is expanding its AI functions within Shopping. Users will soon be able to not only search for and buy products, but also virtually try on clothing using their own photo and track price changes of products. Lilian Rincon, vice-president of product management at Google, announced this in a recent news report.
Summary Google is expanding AI functions in Shopping, allowing users to virtually try on clothing and track price changes.
The 'try on me' function digitally projects clothing onto a personal photo, with AI analysing how the garment falls.
New functions, based on Google's AI model Gemini and the Shopping Graph, are being rolled out in the US first; international availability is not yet known.
The improved try-on tool, called try on me, responds to the growing demand for hybrid shopping solutions. Google's research shows that 59 percent of online shoppers are dissatisfied with their purchase, often because the product looks different than expected. After uploading a personal photo, the garment is digitally projected onto the body.
In addition to this fitting room function, Google is also introducing a price alert. This allows users to track price changes of selected products. After selecting the desired product, the 'agent-checkout' supports the purchasing process via Google Pay.
The new functions within Shopping are based on Google's AI model Gemini and use the extensive Shopping Graph – a global product and seller database with more than 50 billion listings from both international and local retailers. This gives users real-time access to relevant information such as customer reviews, prices, available colours and the current stock status.
The functions will be rolled out in the United States over the coming months. It is not yet known when these AI functions will become available in other countries.

Liverpool FC make huge new Florian Wirtz transfer bid as fresh target emerges
Negotiations between the two clubs have continued in recent days and will carry on over the weekend, with rumours that Leverkusen are holding out for a total package for their top asset worth up to €150m (£126m), which would see him become the most expensive signing in the history of English football, plus potentially wanting either Jarell Quansah or Harvey Elliott as part of the deal.

JIM SPENCE: Paper thin squads at Tannadice and Dens need attention NOW
Both bosses at Dundee and United can expect to come under quick pressure if they don't get recruitment right in the coming weeks. Many Dundee fans are angry at the appointment of Steven Pressley, and even with last season's success, there's still a section of United supporters lukewarm about Jim Goodwin. It was always thus in football with fickle fans. But with both squads currently paper thin, the pressure could mount sharply if decent signings aren't forthcoming. We'll find out soon enough just how attractive the city clubs are to the kind of players who could boost their prospects next season. How great will the lure of European football at Tannadice prove; and how tempting might the prospect be of working with Steven Pressley as manager and with a technical director like Gordon Strachan, at Dens? Both clubs face major rebuilds; Dundee have just twelve signed players while United have had 16 departures, so a host of new faces will soon be on view. With a wafer thin squad of his own, Jim Goodwin's renovation project will be extensive, with players required in all positions, and a first deal now set to be done for Moldovan defender Iurie Iovu. Repeating another top four finish while restructuring the personnel that achieved it last season will be a major challenge. Arabs and Dees will hope their clubs are on the ball and that player identification to rebuild for the new season is already well advanced. Football is fluid and new targets and potential signings often emerge suddenly, so while a range of targets will undoubtedly have been identified at both clubs, there's also the prospect of new signing opportunities appearing as the squads are revamped. United fans, whatever they think of the departed Glenn Middleton, will recognise that when the Tannadice coffers can't compete with those of Doncaster Rovers, then attracting quality is no easy task, and that applies 100 metres up the street too. That means the powers of persuasion and the personal contacts of those in charge must be worked to the max to lure at least the same calibre of loan players who proved successful last season. Both clubs will have to find unique selling points to attract some targets, because if it comes down to purely a cash contest, neither can compete with many third and in some cases fourth tier English clubs. I've seen some United fans say that Middleton should have stayed for the challenge of Europe, but at 25, while he's hardly Methuselah, a player at that stage maybe has only another two decent contracts in front of him. Weighed against the prospect of possibly a very short European campaign, I wouldn't blame any professional for putting the mortgage first. The youth academies at both clubs will hopefully continue to supplement the recruitment of loan players and other signings. Each team has lost talismen; notably Lyall Cameron at Dens and goal machine Sam Dalby at Tannadice. Replacing that quality will rigorously test recruitment strategies. As for Pressley's appointment, Dundee supporters should rally round and support him. He deserves a fair crack of the whip to see what his team looks like and what he's trying to build before fans rush to judgement.

Martin Lewis: How to cut council tax bills and get a rebate
On X, he said: "Moving or just moved house? One of the most important things you should do is check whether you're in the right council tax band. You only have six months to make a formal challenge, after that its much trickier. "(Renters can do this too, though courtesy would indicate you notify the landlord)." On his Money Saving Expert website, he posted: "Hundreds of thousands of homes across England and Scotland are thought to be in the wrong Council Tax band. This means it's important to check your property's in the right band – something our tried-and-tested system can help you do. Some homeowners and renters have unknowingly been overpaying Council Tax for many years, even decades, because their bands are too high, so payouts worth £1,000s are commonplace."

Millions of households have seen a jump in their annual council tax bills from April 1 with most local authorities in England increasing a typical band D bill by 5% – an increase of £109 to £2,280 from the 2024-25 figure of £2,171 – although some local councils have permission to impose hikes of up to 10%. Bills in Wales rose by around 4.5% to 9.5% and in Scotland the jump was least 8% – though this is the first increase in two years following a freeze in 2024-25. How to check your council tax band
