Walmart Launched 'Wallaby' Powered by Generative AI

— November 18, 2024 — Business
Walmart has introduced Wallaby, a retail-specific AI model, to enhance personalized shopping and customer service experiences. Wallaby leverages decades of Walmart's corporate data to provide a more intuitive and natural shopping experience. The AI model is designed to understand Walmart's unique brand features, products, and customer behavior, enabling it to offer personalized recommendations and support across both digital and physical channels. By integrating with other AI platforms, Wallaby expands its capabilities, aiming to create highly personalized customer encounters.

In addition to Wallaby, Walmart has launched a content decision platform powered by generative AI, which anticipates and learns each shopper's preferences. This technology aims to make digital interactions as seamless and personalized as in-store experiences. Walmart also introduced Retina, an augmented reality platform, to engage customers in virtual environments through immersive commerce technologies. These initiatives are part of Walmart's broader strategy to advance its Adaptive Retail approach, enhancing customer engagement and satisfaction both online and offline.
