Walmart gives AI agents their own shopping accounts
Walmart lets agents like Muse, Gemini and GPT shop on a user's behalf via separate accounts with spending limits and returns; the post says Muse users spend $200 on average.
every shopping platform will need to embrace AI in the same way Walmart is - this is the case study to watch: - amazon banned ai agents from shopping, walmart did the opposite - any agent (muse, gemini, GPT) gets its own account, can browse and shop on behalf of a human - browsing history, shopping preferences are kept private to the user. - human can set spending limits and view, return any items the agent buys. great shopping experience, less pressure on “risk” on average every meta muse user is spending $200, i expect this to dramatically increase as more of the world replaces browsers with personal ai agents whoever owns the agent platform will take % fee on all transactions and make an absolute killing
