gaganghotra reports that Google's live stream from Retail Rethink 2026 explained the term "prompt volumes" — apparently an agreed-upon comms strategy among Googlers. Multiple employees described it as variations of questions at scale: a single query now bundles product discovery, research, and specific product attributes the user wants. The stream video was later taken down from the channel, which the poster finds suspicious.
