Samsung and Glance announce a partnership to integrate an AI-powered shopping platform on Smart TVs released after 2020.

Samsung Announces Partnership with Glance for AI-Driven Shopping for Smart TVs
Samsung and Glance will work together to integrate “Personalized AI” capabilities, focusing on e-commerce shopping into modern Smart TVs. Integration of this feature will give users access to a two-way, interactive shopping experience on the TV itself without relying on a smartphone.
How does it work? Samsung’s current Taizen OS for TVs will get this AI shopping feature integrated mostly through an update, turning a smart TV into a generative-AI-powered, interactive shopping platform in your living room.
Glance’s AI-powered ecommerce platforms create personalised shopping feeds and virtual wardrobes, which will give Samsung viewers access to explore fashion accessories and even lifestyle products without the need for a smartphone directly. Viewers can also access a dedicated “Glance App” under the “For You” and “Apps” tab on the homescreen of the smart TV.
As per the press release, if the viewers want to shop for something that won’t require a smartphone, they can instead use the TV remote and voice commands on their smart TVs.
This feature reduces the gap between watching something on TV, and then the user has to search and explore it separately on the smartphone, but now Glance has unlocked it by adding all of this to their Smart TVs themselves.
This new feature will be added to millions of Samsung Smart TVs running on Taizen OS and released after 2020 within the United States.
Talking about Glance and Samsung’s partnership, Maya Harris, Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships for Samsung, shared, “Samsung has always believed the television is more than just an entertainment device – it’s the centerpiece of the home”
Adding more, Naveen Tiwari, the CEO and founder of InMobi and Glance, shared, “For years, the industry talked about intelligent shopping: commerce that understands context, anticipates intent, and meets consumers in the moment they’re already in. With Samsung, that’s no longer a roadmap item. It’s live, at scale, on millions of screens.”
This new feature gives viewers a hassle-free experience to shop their favourite products online through their TV itself, and also gives businesses a chance to showcase and market their products and convert potential customers to buyers with just a few clicks.
