Google has introduced major updates to its financial platform, Google Finance, by integrating data from prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi. This integration allows users to access more real-time insights into future economic events through crowd-sourced forecasts. The new features provide a dynamic interface for exploring market probabilities and how these predictions have evolved over time. Users can directly ask questions such as “What will U.S. GDP growth be in 2025?” to receive instant responses showcasing current market odds and historical shifts. This integration leverages data from regulated exchanges like Kalshi and Polymarket, which offer event-based contracts and blockchain-powered prediction markets respectively. Google aims to merge the ‘wisdom of the crowds’ with advanced AI analysis to create a more interactive and data-driven financial experience. Instead of relying solely on historical charts or analyst predictions, users can gain a deeper understanding of collective market sentiment about key economic indicators, elections, corporate earnings, and geopolitical risks. This is powered by Google’s Gemini AI models which analyze probability data alongside market trends for comprehensive insights. The integration is rolling out progressively through the upcoming weeks for users participating in Google Labs’ experiment program. These updates are designed to complement other new features such as Deep Search, which uses Google’s reasoning capabilities to provide well-sourced answers to complex financial questions and an AI-powered earnings experience that delivers real-time insights during corporate earnings calls. Google states this integration represents a ‘new layer of intelligence’ in its finance platform, enabling users to see how the world is collectively betting on tomorrow’s economy.
