Gap Inc. Introduces AI Fit and Conversational Checkout

As many retailers continue to test isolated AI use cases, Gap Inc. has rebuilt its digital foundation to support AI end-to-end.

Gap Inc., the parent company of Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic and Athleta, introduced two AI tools intended to make online shopping more straightforward for customers: fit guidance from Bold Metrics’ Agent Sizing Protocol and support for Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), to enable more consistent conversational and automated commerce experiences. 

As many retailers continue to test individual AI use cases, Gap Inc. has updated its digital foundation to support AI across its operations. Built on unified Google Cloud data, a modern architecture, and established governance practices, the company is applying data and AI across customer and business processes as part of its operating model. 

“We are not pursuing AI for novelty,” said Sven Gerjets, Chief Technology Officer, Gap Inc. “These partnerships are about solving real customer problems – helping shoppers feel confident about fit and making it easier to complete a purchase. They also reflect the holistic AI strategy we’ve built to scale intelligence across the enterprise in a disciplined way that drives measurable value over time.”
