“AI use cases in Food Retail are accelerating, driving stronger sales growth and greater efficiencies. WMT a clear leader.”
In other news, Walmart has recently unveiled plans to roll out a suite of AI-powered “super agents” for enhancing the shopping experience for customers and streamlining operations.
According to the retailer, the four agents powered by agentic AI are designed for Walmart shoppers, store employees, suppliers and sellers, and software developers. These agents will be the primary way of contact for the said groups very soon.
These super agents will replace existing agents and AI tools and will be the first point of contact for every AI interaction that the groups will have with Walmart. The company is planning to leverage artificial intelligence to boost its e-commerce growth, with a goal set for online sales to account for 50% of its total sales within five years.
One of the agents from Walmart, Sparky, has already been made available for shoppers on Walmart’s app as a Gen-AI-powered tool, albeit not in its super-agent form yet.
Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) operates retail and wholesale stores and clubs, eCommerce websites, and mobile applications worldwide.
