Walmart has introduced support for AI agents like Meta's Muse to shop on behalf of customers, contrasting with Amazon's approach that excludes external AI agents from its platform. This move embraces AI agents for multi-step shopping tasks, reflecting a strategic shift in retail tech adoption.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of E-commerce.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You have a new opportunity as Walmart invites AI agents onto its platform while Amazon blocks them. If you build smart shopping assistants, Walmart just opened a direct sales channel to millions.
