Walmart has introduced innovative AI tools to enhance holiday shopping experiences, now available via its app and website. Key features include the In-Store Savings tool, which highlights sale items based on location, and an enhanced search engine that provides stock availability and item locations. Additionally, users can create shopping lists sorted by aisle. Walmart’s Gen AI-powered assistant, Sparky, now functions as a party planner by generating curated shopping lists based on specific occasions. New features also encompass AI-generated audio summaries of premium beauty products, a Shop the Background tool that lets users select items from images, and a Dynamic Showroom for visualizing space design with chosen furnishings. According to Tracy Poulliot, the user-friendly tools help customers streamline their shopping, with in-store app users spending 25% more on average. CEO Doug McMillon emphasizes AI’s pivotal role in enhancing personalized shopping experiences. For ongoing updates, subscribe to the AI Newsletter.
