Glance AI , a brand owned by mobile advertising company InMobi , has announced a partnership with the Samsung Galaxy Store to roll out its e-commerce platform to Galaxy phones in the US .

The “experience” comprises both a standalone app and a lock screen component to try and sell you clothes.

Crucially, the whole thing is “fully opt-in,” which, thank Christ. This feels like a sign of things to come as advertisers try to leverage AI to sell us more stuff.
