Walmart leverages generative AI to create 3D objects and shopping assistants
In a groundbreaking move to enhance the customer shopping experience, Walmart has unveiled a suite of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools aimed at simplifying various aspects of shopping and decision-making for its patrons. This announcement comes as part of Walmart's ongoing commitment to innovation and its mission to provide unparalleled convenience to shoppers.
The retail giant's generative AI initiative focuses on empowering customers by streamlining tasks such as project planning, product selection, and even offering realistic visualizations of products within their homes or on their persons. Walmart aims to make shopping an even more enjoyable and efficient process for consumers across the board.
"We believe in being Switzerland," said Cheryl Ainoa who holds the post of Executive VP of global technology at Walmart. This statement indicates that the company is looking at all options and designing systems to be open to using whoever has the best and most cost-effective technology.

One of the flagship tools introduced by Walmart is the "Shopping Assistant." This AI-driven feature is designed to assist customers in various projects, whether it's planning a birthday party, holiday home decoration, or outfitting a new dorm room. The Shopping Assistant acts as a knowledgeable guide, suggesting suitable products and helping customers make informed choices, such as selecting the ideal cell phone for a 10-year-old. This feature is poised to simplify decision-making processes, particularly for customers faced with myriad options.
Another groundbreaking application of generative AI within Walmart's ecosystem is the ability to generate three-dimensional objects from static images. This technology revolutionizes the shopping experience by allowing customers to visualize how clothing items would look on them and how furniture or electronics would fit within their living spaces. The ability to create 3D representations of products using generative AI offers significant cost savings, potentially amounting to hundreds of dollars per item. Moreover, it significantly reduces the traditionally time-consuming process of developing such visualizations from days or weeks to mere minutes.
Walmart has also made it clear that their approach to AI technology is open and adaptable. Company officials stated that they are actively exploring various AI technologies and are committed to incorporating the best and most cost-effective solutions available in the ever-evolving field of artificial intelligence. This flexibility ensures that Walmart's customers will continue to benefit from cutting-edge technology and improved shopping experiences.
As Walmart continues to embrace AI-driven innovations, it remains a frontrunner in the retail industry, constantly striving to offer its customers an unparalleled shopping experience. The introduction of generative AI tools is a testament to the company's dedication to making shopping not just convenient but enjoyable and informative for its customers.
With these revolutionary AI enhancements, Walmart is undoubtedly shaping the future of retail, demonstrating its commitment to customer satisfaction and convenience in an increasingly digitized world. Shoppers can anticipate a more personalized, efficient, and engaging experience as these AI-driven tools are gradually integrated into Walmart's shopping ecosystem.
