-> Glance and Samsung Galaxy Store Team Up to Bring AI Shopping to US Lock Screens

 Glance, a Google-backed consumer tech company under InMobi, has joined hands with Samsung Galaxy Store to roll out Glance AI in the United States. This new platform brings visual AI-driven commerce directly to Samsung phone lock screens, offering personalized styling suggestions and instant shopping options.

Glance AI uses a single selfie to generate realistic visuals of users in curated fashion looks. Shoppers can choose and buy instantly from over 400 brand partners. The platform is powered by Google Gemini’s intelligence and Imagen’s image-generation capabilities.

Naveen Tewari, Founder and CEO of Glance and InMobi, said the app was built to help users discover possibilities and shop smarter without opening a browser or app.

Users can save looks as wallpapers or share them with friends. The lock screen experience stays fresh by tapping into trends, events and social media moments. Samsung’s Jason Shim said the collaboration brings dynamic, tailored content directly to users.

This partnership aims to make the smartphone a personal hub for styling, shopping and discovery, all powered by intuitive AI and seamless design.
