Google to Help Sea Group of Singapore Build AI Shopping Agent
Sea Group's online retail business Shopee is collaborating with Google to develop an AI shopping agent, aiming to maintain its lead over competitors such as TikTok and Lazada in Southeast Asia.
The two companies stated in a joint announcement on Thursday that Singapore-based gaming and e-commerce company Sea Group is working with Google to integrate artificial intelligence technology into all aspects of its operations. This could enable autonomous AI agents to assist Shopee users in searching for, comparing, and purchasing products, and also make products on the Shopee platform more discoverable in Google Gemini searches.
As the leading e-commerce player in Southeast Asia, Shopee has joined the ranks of online retailers including Amazon and Japan's Rakuten Group, all of whom are racing to launch AI-powered shopping services.

Jensen Huang's sudden resignation shrouded in suspicion: Did the White House secretly intervene? Is a return possible in the future?
Only a few days separated Jensen Huang’s strong support from the board last Sunday and his late-night resignation on Wednesday. Multiple reports of the Wednesday night Nvidia board meeting were co-authored by Washington-based journalists—who do not typically cover Nvidia—fueling rumors of "White House pressure and information leaks." Huang’s unique value lies in leveraging his personal reputation to secure the supply chain and drive the implementation of technological roadmaps, making him difficult to replace. Some analysts note that, drawing on examples such as Steve Jobs’ return to Apple, it is possible that Huang may come back in the future.
