In late September, OpenAI announced the Instant Checkout feature that will allow shoppers to buy items through Walmart, and said it would initially support purchases from Etsy sellers. OpenAI said at the time that more than one million Shopify merchants, including Skims and Glossier, would be coming soon.

Walmart has announced AI tools including generative AI-powered 'Sparky,' which is available on its app to assist customers with product suggestions or summarizing product reviews, among other options.
