Google has announced a new partnership with predictive markets companies Polymarket and Kalshi. This collaboration will enable Google Finance to integrate the technology and data from Polymarket and Kalshi into its search function, providing users with odds and insights on future market events.
According to a press release published today on Google’s newsroom website, Google Finance will incorporate predictive models and market data from Polymarket and Kalshi. This integration aims to deliver speculative answers to various market-related questions, displaying odds and percentages directly within search results.
For example, Google shared, users can simply ask, “What will GDP growth be for 2025?” in the search box to see current market probabilities and how these have changed over time. The prediction markets data will begin rolling out in the coming weeks, starting with Google Labs users.
This move is especially noteworthy given Polymarket’s controversial history. While the platform allows users to view odds and predictions based on its data models, it has also faced accusations of operating as a gambling platform in several jurisdictions worldwide.
Polymarket was under investigation by the United States Department of Justice up until the end of former President Trump’s second term. Those investigations were eventually dropped without any new charges filed against the company.
Google’s integration of predictive market data marks an interesting development in how market insights are delivered to users, blending search technology with speculative forecasting tools.
