The partnership will see Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service and some of Walmart’s proprietary data and technology to power a personalized shopping experience for customers across the world.
Walmart’s new generative AI-powered search function across mobile and web will apparently understand the context of each query better. With that, they’ll be able to give better results.
The companies are also working together to make search more conversational. So, instead of having to think of several searches for an item you may need, one could simply ask Walmart to “help me plan a paw patrol-themed party for my six-year-old,” for example.
Neither side of the partnership gave a release date for the updated apps and web interface, so keep an eye out for them it add it sometime in the coming months.
