Google’s apparent quest to bring AI features across all of its apps has just extended to one of its most mundane: Google Finance. The company announced on Friday that it’s testing a “new, AI-powered Google Finance,” chatbot included.
The revamp, which will roll out in the US in the coming weeks, will let you ask finance-related questions of the web app’s built-in chatbot, which will serve up an AI-generated answer alongside relevant links. There are also new charting tools that Google says go beyond helping you visualize “simple asset performance” with options to view technical indicators or display candlestick charts.
In addition to encompassing a broader range of market data, including from more cryptocurrencies, Google Finance will display an “up-to-the-minute” live news feed that’s supposed to help you keep track of what’s affecting today’s market.
But if you’re not a fan of chatting with AI about daily market moves, Google says it will include a toggle allowing you to revert to the classic Google Finance experience.
