Google has teamed up with Wayfair to launch a new AI tool that predicts trending home decor styles. The system analyzes real-time shopping data, social media activity, and seasonal patterns to spot what customers will want next. This helps suppliers prepare the right products at the right time.

The AI reviews millions of customer interactions every day. It looks at search terms, saved items, and recent purchases. It also checks images shared online to find common design themes. By doing this, it can forecast which colors, materials, and furniture types will become popular in the coming weeks.
Wayfair says this tool gives its suppliers a clear edge. They can adjust their inventory faster and avoid overstocking items that may not sell. Small businesses benefit too, as they get access to insights once only available to big retailers.
Google built the model using its cloud infrastructure and machine learning expertise. Wayfair provided years of shopping behavior data to train the system. Together, they created a platform that updates daily and sends alerts when new trends emerge.
Early tests show strong results. In one trial, the AI predicted a surge in earth-toned rugs two months before sales spiked. Suppliers who acted on the tip saw a 20% increase in orders compared to those who did not.

The tool is now live for all Wayfair suppliers in the U.S. Google plans to expand it to other retail categories later this year. Both companies say this is just the start of how AI can help make supply chains smarter and more responsive to what people actually want in their homes.
