AI Summary

Walmart will soon let customers use AI agents to shop on its website. Starting next month, shoppers can connect their own agent, while Walmart provides controls to approve purchases, review orders, and set spending limits. The company has issued rules that agents may not act beyond the shopper’s intent, cannot change the payment method, and may only access the information needed to complete the task. Walmart will block any agent that violates these terms. This move contrasts with Amazon, which has blocked similar shopping agents.
