Announced at Google Marketing Live 2026 (May 20), Ask Advisor is a conversational AI assistant integrated directly into Google Ads, Analytics 360, and Merchant Center. It enables brands to ask natural-language questions about campaign performance, product visibility in AI Mode, and UCP checkout conversion.

For merchants in the UCP ecosystem, Ask Advisor surfaces AI Performance Insights — showing how products appear in Gemini and AI Mode search results and recommending improvements to product feeds, descriptions, and UCP endpoint configuration.

Why This Matters for UCP

Ask Advisor is the merchant-side AI interface for the UCP ecosystem, helping brands understand and optimize their visibility and checkout performance across Google's AI-powered shopping surfaces.

UCP Endpoint

Announced — Endpoint not yet publicly available

Integration Example

// Ask Advisor is accessed conversationally inside Google Ads/Merchant Center UI.
// No API endpoint yet — it's a chat interface within Google's tools.

// Example queries:
// "Why is my product not showing in AI Mode?"
// "How is my UCP checkout converting vs. site checkout?"
// "What Conversational Attributes should I add to improve discoverability?"

Solid tool. The test suite coverage is excellent. I found one edge case in the payment token validation that the maintainers fixed within 48 hours.

Integrated in an afternoon. The discovery endpoint just worked. The CLI flags are well-designed — composable, no magic defaults.

Good tool for UCP conformance testing. Runs fast and the output is easy to parse in CI. Would like a JSON output mode — currently only text.

This saved us days of work. Dropped it into our pipeline and had UCP endpoint validation running in about 20 minutes. Documentation is accurate.

The best developer tool in this category. TypeScript types are correct and complete. Error messages actually tell you what went wrong.
