Walmart U.S. CEO David Guggina says AI is reshaping the company. Ambient AI automation and customer-facing tools like Sparky are improving store execution and delivery speeds. Sparky usage is rising and drives 40% higher average order values. Guggina hinted at integrating Sparky into Vizio and Onn electronics for TV shopping. Walmart partners with OpenAI and Google for AI shopping agents. These agents often link directly to Walmart, yielding high conversion rates. Walmart allows third-party AI agents to browse its site, unlike Amazon. New or returning customers via these agents show high repeat rates.
