Can AI finally fix online shopping? A hands-on test of GlanceAI and Google Try-On

Can AI finally fix online shopping? A hands-on test of GlanceAI and Google Try-On Show Caption Hide Caption Woman's AI fridge rant goes viral, claims isn't intelligent after all A woman claims her Samsung refrigerator with AI technology isn't so intelligent after all. Shopping used to be simple. You walked into a store, tried on jeans, and decided in 30 seconds if they made your butt look weird. Today? Most of us shop online for everything — including clothes — and it often goes hilariously, tragically wrong. According to Capital One Shopping Research, nearly 124 million Americans — one in every three of us — will buy clothes online this year. And we'll send back one out of every four of those items. That adds up to billions in lost revenue for retailers, and a pile of packaging waste, shipping costs and frustration for the rest of us. Flat product photos, inconsistent sizing charts, and confusing return rules are just part of the problem. Overall, online clothes shopping is still an expensive guessing game. The age-old problem of 'What am I going to wear today?' A new breed of AI-powered fashion tools is stepping in — not just to reduce returns, but to rewire how we discover and buy clothes in the first place. I tested two of the biggest options: GlanceAI, a free virtual styling app for iOS and Android, and Google's new Try-On tool, which uses generative AI to show how clothes look on your actual body. I bought clothes I genuinely like, using both of them. But are these next-gen tech tools perfect? Not yet. Here's what works, what doesn't and what you need to know. Your selfie, styled The way GlanceAI works is really simple. Upload a full-body selfie, and in seconds, GlanceAI shows photorealistic images of you wearing outfits curated to your body type, skin tone and even local weather. If you like what you see, tap to shop similar products from retailers like Macy's, Nordstrom and Zara. The goal here is to turn your phone's camera into your personal stylist. Not a size-zero mannequin. Not a filter-heavy avatar. You. 'We're not trying to turn you into someone else,' GlanceAI CEO Naveen Tewari told me over a video call. 'We're trying to help you discover the best version of you.' I tested it with a full-body selfie and got styled in outfits that genuinely looked like something I'd wear — from TV appearances and Zoom calls to farm chores and school drop-off. After some thumbs-up, thumbs-down tweaks, the images were surprisingly spot-on. No weird proportions. No six-fingered claw-hands. Tewari added, 'It's not just 'what shirt fits me?' It's 'what outfit makes sense for me right now, in my city, with my vibe?'" According to the company, in less than a month since its launch, the app has created more than 40 million personalized outfit images for over 1.5 million users in the U.S. alone, with 40% of them shopping in the app on a weekly basis. GlanceAI earns money through affiliate sales. Consumer-friendly technology: How McAfee's Scam Detector can help you spot fraudulent texts Where GlanceAI promises to improve GlanceAI still feels like a beta app, essentially because it is. I gave Tewari a laundry list of tweaks and features that I want to see, and he told me they're all on the way. The main 'cover' outfits — the ones in categories like 'Dopamine Dressing' or 'Bold Blazers' — don't exist. You tap on that killer floral jacket, but instead, you get redirected to 'similar' items you're not that into. That's a bummer. Even when I found something I liked, I wanted to see myself in that exact item, not an approximation. Tewari says both direct item previews and better filtering are in the works. Right now, there's no way to search by style, brand or size. Another issue? Some of the clothes just look… dated. I kept thinking, 'Wait, I had that exact Rugby shirt in 1996.' It's not just about matching an outfit to your body type — fashion needs to feel fresh. According to Tewari, better product feeds and more brand partnerships are on the way to address that issue as well. And inclusivity is still lagging. The app doesn't yet work well for plus-size, non-binary or adaptive body types. That's not a minor bug — it's a must-fix. That said, GlanceAI is more than a gimmick. It's fun to share with friends, and if they deliver the updates as promised, it will change the way we shop for clothes for good. My suggestion? Try it, train it, and know this is how you're going to be doing most of your shopping in a year or two from now. A year ago, I barely used ChatGPT. Now I use it every day. So do 100 million other people. I could be writing the same thing about GlanceAI in a year from now. Google Try-On: AI, but make it searchable Google's latest entry into AI shopping lets you upload a full-length selfie and see how real clothes look on you. Not a stock model. Not an AI composite. The feature lives inside Google Search Labs and is available for select brands like Levi's, Abercrombie, Quince and Pistola Denim. The realism is impressive. AI-generated images demonstrate how a shirt drapes on your shoulders and how pants fit your hips. How it works: You search for an item — say, 'white linen blazer under $100' — then tap 'Try It On.' Upload a selfie, and Google overlays the item onto your image using generative AI. No extra app required. Google's tools are powered by its massive Shopping Graph, which tracks more than 50 billion products and updates listings in real time. And Google says your photos stay on your device unless you opt to save or share them. Where Google struggles Here's the downside: Good luck figuring out which products actually let you try them on. There are no clear labels, no filters, no indicators — you just tap and hope. It's hit-or-miss, and that makes it frustrating. I used it to buy a pair of Mother Jeans via Free People. The 'Try It On' icon just happened to be there when I went looking for this specific pair of pants. It was luck, not tech skill, that put us together. It feels more like a promising tech demo than a reliable everyday feature. GlanceAI vs. Google AI: What's the difference? GlanceAI isn't perfect. Neither is Google. But they're both big steps forward in making online shopping is more fun and styled. Google is more powerful and precise. Both are worth a try if you're tired of return labels and surprise crop tops. They're different tools solving different parts of the same problem. Ideally, they'll converge. Bonus tools to try These two aren't alone. A few other tools in my smart shopping stack: Beni: A browser extension that finds secondhand versions of what you're shopping for. That $180 blazer might be $60 on Poshmark. Croissant: See your item's resale value before you buy it. A $250 bag? Croissant might tell you it'll resell for $100.

Sources: Meta finalizes $15 billion deal for Scale AI stake

Meta has finalized a deal to pay around $15 billion for a 49% stake in Scale AI, a company best known for providing the human labor needed to label data used in the creation of AI models, sources told Axios. Why it matters: The deal, if regulators don't stop it, is set to put Scale CEO Alexandr Wang inside Meta, but raises big questions for the future of a data-labeling company widely used by all the major AI players, including Google and OpenAI. Yes, but: Even though Meta isn't buying all of Scale, regulators may still raise objections. The big picture: It's the latest in a series of deals in which giant tech companies have bought less than an entire company to get the people or intellectual property they want. Last year, Microsoft struck a deal with chatbot creator Inflection AI in which Microsoft got the services of Inflection CEO (and DeepMind co-founder) Mustafa Suleyman as well as other colleagues and technology. Inflection's investors got an immediate return while also leaving in place a slimmed-down operation focused on sales to businesses. Google made a similar arrangement with acquiring key talent and a technology license, handing over millions to investors without buying the entire company.
