Samsung brings AI-powered lock screen shopping to select Galaxy mobile phones
Samsung has rolled out a new AI-powered shopping feature directly on the lock screens of select Galaxy smartphones in the US. This initiative comes through a partnership with Glance AI, a company owned by mobile advertising firm InMobi, which specialises in e-commerce experiences driven by generative AI. According to a 9to5Google report, Galaxy phone users can now opt into this shopping experience that allows them to see themselves virtually wearing different outfits and styles. The feature uses selfies or images provided by users to create realistic renderings of how various clothes might look on them. Users can then save these images as wallpapers or share them.

The AI system uses Google's Gemini and Imagen models to generate visuals and suggest apparel options. The service pulls from more than 400 brands and retailers, including Levi's, Old Navy, and Tommy Hilfiger, according to the reports. Users can purchase items through the app with a simple tap. The AI also keeps track of current trends, local events, and social media, which will provide them with timely updates on sales and promotions.

Samsung phones are getting a weird AI shopping platform nobody asked for
Glance AI, a brand owned by mobile advertising company InMobi, has announced a partnership with the Samsung Galaxy Store to roll out its e-commerce platform to Galaxy phones in the US. The company's app centers around what it calls 'a Generative AI shopping platform,' which is a serious contender for the most cursed phrase I've read today. The 'experience' comprises both a standalone app and a lock screen component to try and sell you clothes. Crucially, the whole thing is 'fully opt-in,' which, thank Christ. But even if you opt out — which you absolutely should! — this feels like a sign of things to come as advertisers try to leverage AI to sell us more stuff. Buckle up. You may remember InMobi as the company ruining Motorola's otherwise decent budget phones with a bunch of e-commerce nonsense. The version of this that Galaxy owners might see centers on a feature that uses gen AI and a photo of you to create images of you wearing different outfits, with new 'looks' available every day. Unsurprisingly, you can buy the clothes with a tap. This can all happen on your lock screen, and for some reason you can save these AI generated creations as lock screen wallpapers. I will not be doing this. Glance AI's lock screen features appear to vary by region; in India, where InMobi was founded, Glance lock screens show ads in addition to things like news updates and sports scores. The implementation on Samsung phones doesn't seem to include ads, mercifully, at least for now. I don't know about you but I will absolutely throw my phone into the sea the first time I see an ad on my lock screen, so I hope this never comes to pass. Glance AI is rolling out to Samsung Galaxy S22, S23, S24, and S25-series phones starting today, and should reach 'a full 100% scale' in the next 30 days. Presumably it'll arrive as an optional download in the Galaxy Store when that happens, though I wouldn't be surprised if it comes with a push notification encouraging users to go download it.

Google-backed Glance AI to be part of Samsung mobile phones in the US
Google-backed Glance, a consumer tech company, announced on Wednesday that Glance AI—an AI commerce platform—will be available on Samsung phones in the US. Glance AI, which is powered by Google's Imagen 4 AI generator, brings personalised shopping to the lock screen. Glance AI allows users to instantly visualise themselves in outfits and destinations they would never imagine and purchase their favourites with just a tap. Naveen Tewari, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Glance, said: 'Glance AI helps consumers discover and visualise what's possible—starting with an outfit that makes them look and feel great—and own it with just a tap on the platform. Samsung's commitment to enable Glance AI across its US devices will enable consumers to enjoy a fully user-opted-in experience where inspirational commerce and content converge.' Glance, a subsidiary of mobile advertising firm InMobi, is a five-year-old company. It has over 300 million global users, with 235 million in India. Glance as a software platform is available on over 450 million smartphones globally. Some of the OEMs that Glance works with include Samsung, MI, Vivo, Oppo, realme, Jio and others. Jason Shim, Senior Director and Head of Samsung Galaxy Store USA, said in a statement: 'Glance AI is a perfect example of the kind of high-quality and unique content we strive to deliver. By using AI to personalise content and shopping directly on the lock screen, it brings a smarter, more dynamic experience that reflects the forward-thinking spirit of the Galaxy Store.' In India, while Samsung phones may not have this feature on their lock screen, users can download the app from the Google Play Store and Apple's App Store. In an earlier announcement, the company had said that users can now explore looks and products tailored to their preferences and complete purchases seamlessly from over 400 global brands. Glance AI is a fully opt-in platform, with privacy and user control built into its core design. Users can explore looks, save or share them, set them as wallpapers, and visualise themselves in unique looks and collections driven by global trends and occasions. In an earlier interaction with Business Standard, Tewari had said that the firm has set a timeframe of 12 months to reach profitability. This is on the back of its foray into the US market and also because of some of its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered offerings. Glance revenue for FY24, according to a report filed by Entrackr, stood at Rs 614 crore, up 89 per cent on a year-on-year basis. The firm's loss was Rs 929 crore in FY24, down from Rs 1,094 crore in FY23.
