Google Finance redesign goes all in on AI, complete with a chatbot

Google is giving its Finance web app a major overhaul, with a strong emphasis on AI. The redesign includes an AI-powered chatbot that can answer finance-related queries and provide relevant links. The app also introduces new charting tools to help users better understand asset performance, including options to view technical indicators and candlestick charts. The platform will feature a broader range of market data, including an increased focus on cryptocurrencies, and a live news feed for tracking market fluctuations. However, not all users are enthusiastic about using a chatbot for major financial decisions, and the update includes a toggle to revert to the traditional Google Finance design. This is part of a broader trend of Google integrating AI capabilities into its various productivity apps, including Docs, Sheets, and the Discover feature of the Google app. The redesign is expected to roll out to US customers in the coming weeks.
