      Glance and Samsung Galaxy Store Partner to Redefine Mobile Commerce:
      Launching a New AI Shopping Experience for Samsung Users in US
    </h2>

    <div class="press-content">
      <p>
        <span class="bold">SAN MATEO, CA – June 4, 2025-</span> Glance, the
        consumer technology company backed by Google, launches Glance AI, an AI
        Commerce platform that delivers inspirational Generative-AI led commerce
        and content discovery for Samsung users in the US. As part of this
        strategic partnership, Samsung users will gain access to Glance’s AI
        shopping and styling experiences.
      </p>
      <p>
        Glance AI is a Generative AI shopping platform disrupting how consumers
        shop today. They can instantly visualize themselves in outfits and
        destinations they would never imagine and purchase their favorites with
        just a tap. Built on Google Gemini’s intelligence and Imagen’s
        state-of-the-art image generation capabilities, Glance AI offers custom
        experiences across multiple Android handset manufacturers. Through this
        new partnership, Glance AI is unveiling its new custom app experience
        specially designed for Samsung users.
      </p>
      <p>
        “Glance AI is driven by a core human truth - each one of us wants to
        become the best version of ourselves. What stands between that
        aspiration and reality is the awareness of what is possible or access to
        platforms that enable this,” said Naveen Tewari, Founder and CEO,
        Glance. “Glance AI helps consumers discover and visualize 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.”
      </p>
      <p>
        Available as both an app and a lockscreen experience, Glance AI is a
        fully opt-in experience. It trains itself on a single selfie or an image
        from the image gallery to generate hyper-real images of consumers in
        outfits best suited for them. As users visualize themselves in various
        outfits, they can make real-time purchase decisions with just a tap. The
        recommendations and order fulfillment are driven by Glance AI’s
        extensive partnership with more than 400 leading brands and retailers in
        the US and beyond. The app further allows users to place the feature
        directly on their lock screen for easy access and the ability to save
        each look as either their lockscreen wallpaper or download to share
        across their network.
      </p>
      <p>
        Glance AI also leverages trending content, local events, and social
        media moments to make recommendations fresh, relevant, and engaging. 
        High-speed inferencing helps deliver options such as flash sales and
        trend-driven commerce, making every shopping experience unique and
        effortless.  By utilizing Samsung's extensive reach alongside the power
        of AI, Glance aims to redefine user interaction with smartphones, making
        every moment spent on the device richer and more efficient. 
      </p>
      <p>
        “At Samsung Galaxy Store, we’re proud to be more than just an app
        marketplace – we’re a destination for innovation, discovery, and
        meaningful experiences tailored for Galaxy users,” said Jason Shim, Sr.
        Director and Head of Samsung Galaxy Store USA. “Glance AI is a perfect
        example of the kind of high-quality and unique content we strive to
        deliver. By using AI to personalize 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.”
      </p>
      <p>
        This collaboration paves the way for a mobile ecosystem that enables
        users to discover new styles and trends, transforming the smartphone
        into a dynamic center of styling and commerce. 
      </p>
      <p>
        Glance AI begins its staged rollout today starting with popular Samsung
        handsets including Galaxy S22 plus, Galaxy S22 Ultra, Galaxy S23, Galaxy
        S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23 plus, Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24
        plus, Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25 plus.

      In a pivotal moment for global commerce and AI innovation, Glance, a leading consumer technology company backed by
      Google, has unveiled Glance AI, an AI-native commerce platform powered by its most advanced proprietary AI models.
      Built to revolutionize how people shop and to reshape how intelligence drives decisions and economies, Glance AI
      moves online shopping beyond search to an inspiration-led discovery experience. It also marks the emergence of the
      ‘AI consumer’, one who doesn't wait to browse, but expects the technology to understand them, imagine
      for them, and spark desire even before they know what they want.  &nbsp;</p>
    <p></p>

    <p>The standalone app launches today available worldwide on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store, with deeper
      integrations rolling out to Android handset makers and telecom operators. While the initial model is trained on
      fashion, Glance plans to extend the same experience to categories such as beauty, accessories, and travel later
      this year, setting a new benchmark in AI commerce.  </p>
<div class="ss-card">
<img class="blog-img" src="https://glance-web.glance-cdn.com/slide_glanceai_2_682ec2c03f70f_b33acee100.webp" alt="Glance ai screenshots">
</div>
    <p>Unlike conventional e-commerce stores that simply display multiple products to browse or search for, Glance AI
      lets users discover their AI-curated stylized looks. By simply taking a selfie or uploading an image, Glance AI
      immerses them in a visual world where they take centre stage. Each experience is generated in real-time with an
      AI-native commerce engine using advanced diffusion models, personalization engines, and a live commerce layer that
      maps each user’s unique AI look to real, shoppable products from curated brands across the globe. With one
      tap, users can now explore looks and products tailored to their preferences and complete purchases seamlessly from
      400+ global brands. All of this while the user retains control over their data. &nbsp;</p>
    <p><strong>Naveen Tewari, Founder &amp; CEO of InMobi &amp; Glance </strong>shared, <i>“The internet is being rewritten from
        curated feeds to AI-generated realities. At Glance, we’re proud to lead this transformation with our most
        advanced AI-native commerce platform yet. Glance AI reimagines how billions of consumers worldwide will
        discover, visualize and shop, replacing intent with inspiration and search with intelligent, autonomous agents.
        Embedded across phones, TVs and brand stores, Glance AI marks a paradigm shift in commerce. It is one of the
        most ambitious technological efforts in our journey and a bold step toward shaping the future of AI-driven
        consumer experiences.”   </i></p>
        <p>At its core, <strong>Glance AI</strong> is built on a three-layered deep tech architecture:  &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
        <ul class="un-ord">
        <li><strong>Commerce Intelligence Model</strong>; trained on decades of global commerce data, learning from new trends, cultures, and consumer behavior. &nbsp;</li>

        <li><strong>GenAI Experience Model</strong>, generating hyper-realistic visualization based on thousands of parameters such as gender, body type, ethnicity, skin tone, fit, style and season to simulate how a particular clothing will look on an individual. &nbsp;</li>

        <li><strong>Transaction Journey Model</strong>, an agent that understands shopping intent before consumers do, pairing visualizations with best matched product from millions of catalogues globally  &nbsp;</li>
        </ul>
        <p><strong>Glance AI</strong> has integrated its proprietary models with cutting-edge platforms including Google Gemini and Imagen on Vertex AI delivering hyper-realistic, personalized experiences to users. &nbsp;</p>
        <p>Glance AI is a fully <strong>opt-in </strong>platform, with <strong>privacy and user control</strong> built into its core design. Users can explore looks, save or share them, set them as wallpapers, and visualize themselves in unique looks and collections driven by global trends and occasions.  &nbsp;</p>
        <p>Glance AI is beyond the app experience. It is built on an open architecture with deep integrations across hardware and software with manufacturers, telecom operators, and brands. It turns phones into AI phones, TVs into household commerce devices and brand stores into AI shopfronts. &nbsp;</p>
        <p>Early results from Glance AI’s U.S. trials signal strong consumer engagement for inspirationled shopping. In just a few weeks the platform has attracted more than 1.5 million active users, half of whom return weekly after trying the experience. Engagement runs deep: Users have generated over 40 million style requests, 50 percent download or share their personalized styles, 40 percent tap through to begin a shopping journey; setting a new benchmark for stickiness and social virality in AI commerce apps. &nbsp;</p>

            Consumer internet company, Glance, and Google Cloud today announced a strategic partnership to bring the power of generative AI (gen AI) to millions of Glance-enabled smartphones worldwide. Through this collaboration, Glance will leverage Google’s AI models to develop consumer-facing AI applications designed to enhance and enrich user experiences on smartphone lock screens and ambient TV screens.  </p>
        <p>Glance, a pioneer in delivering AI-powered smart lock screen experiences, currently powers more than 450 million Android-based smartphones worldwide. The company has an active user base of more than 300 million across India, Indonesia, Japan, the United States, and other countries. It is now building the next generation of Glance, which aims to turn every user’s lock screen into the center of their digital experiences, integrating their news, sports, games, entertainment, fashion, and shopping with gen AI to create a ‘personal internet’ for the user. </p>

        <p>Glance will leverage Google Cloud’s Gemini intelligence capabilities and Imagen’s state of the art image generation capabilities via Vertex AI to power Glance’s next-gen experiences. One of the first experiences is an immersive, gen AI-enabled commerce feature for the lock screen. This feature allows users to upload a single image (selfie or upload from gallery), which is then analyzed to infer their interests and preferences. Users can then use gen AI to generate personalized images that place them in relevant contexts, transforming their lock screen wallpapers. As users visualize themselves with various products, they can make real-time purchase decisions seamlessly from their lock screens.</p>
        <p>“Our mission at Glance is to inspire users to become the best version of themselves through discovery-led experiences on surfaces powered by AI. We want to be the world’s largest consumer tech platform, reaching a billion screens by 2028, and our partnership with Google Cloud is key,” <strong>said Naveen Tewari, Founder &amp; CEO of InMobi &amp; Glance.</strong> “Our combined knowledge, AI capabilities, and expertise uniquely position Glance to deliver the next level of&nbsp; AI-driven experiences for smartphone users, supported by viable business models such as commerce and advertising.”</p>
        <p>The partnership comes as Glance prepares to launch ‘Glance AI,’ a gen AI-powered platform designed to deliver immersive discovery experiences on both smartphone lock screens and TV ambient screens. To be launched in the U.S. market first, Glance AI aims to supercharge ordinary smartphones into AI phones through experiences that redefine content and commerce. </p>
<p><strong>Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud added</strong>, “Generative AI technologies have the power to transform experiences for people around the world, and mobile phones are a key touchpoint. Glance can now harness Google Cloud’s cutting-edge gen AI technologies  to develop groundbreaking applications across commerce, content, and more that will unlock new possibilities for customers. ”&nbsp;</p>
        <p>Launched in 2019, Glance is one of the earliest to unlock the potential of the smartphone lock screen, providing unique AI-driven personalized content discovery experiences. The Glance smart lock screen is delivered in partnership with OEMs and telcos. All functions are customizable, opt-in, and do not access user data, while maintaining user privacy. The platform relies on usage patterns to continually refine its recommendation engine and provide the best-in-class experience to the consumers. </p>


        <p class="bold">About Glance</p>
