Google will bring Polymarket and Kalshi’s prediction market odds directly into Google Search and its revamped Google Finance platform, giving users access to crowd-based predictions on key upcoming events.
The move is part of a broader rollout of features aimed at making Google Finance more interactive, AI-powered and globally accessible. For now, prediction market data will be displayed in response to natural language queries such as “Will the United States enter a recession in 2025?” or “Who will win the 2024 US presidential election?” Users will see real-time market odds, as well as charts showing how odds change over time.
Prediction markets work by allowing people to buy and sell stocks based on the outcome of future events. The resulting prices reflect the collective expectations of the market.
This feature leverages the idea that the “wisdom of the crowd” can sometimes offer more accurate predictions than experts or traditional models. While prediction markets have long existed on the fringes of finance and politics, Google’s integration brings them directly into mainstream tools.
This is one of the first times a major technology platform has integrated real-time prediction market data into its consumer products. For Polymarket, a blockchain-based platform operating outside the United States due to regulatory constraints, the partnership is an important step toward broader visibility.
The update is part of a broader overhaul of Google Finance, which also includes Deep Search, a tool that uses Google’s Gemini AI to generate detailed and cited financial answers, as well as new earnings call tracking features with real-time transcripts and summaries.
Market forecast data is currently available to Google Labs users, with wider access expected soon. Google also announced that the Google Finance update will expand beyond the United States, starting with India.
