Walmart (WMT.US) launches AI agent shopping tool: can authorize proxy purchasing and set spending limits.

Zhitong Finance APP has learned that Walmart (WMT.US) announced on Wednesday the launch of new tools that allow AI agents to shop and complete transactions on behalf of customers, aiming to secure a foothold in the increasingly widespread field of AI assistants for online commerce. This approach stands in sharp contrast to Amazon (AMZN.US), which had previously sought to restrict third-party AI shopping agents' access to its platform.
