The retail giant has recently been at the forefront of online commerce. In embracing AI agents, however, it’s positioning itself ahead of even many digital companies.

Walmart streamlines AI strategy with four 'super agents' for customers, employees, engineers & suppliers. Uses open-source standard to communicate.

In a move that could upend how brands, agencies and creators work with the retail giant, Walmart is developing autonomous AI to handle tasks.

Walmart built so many AI agents, things started to get confusing. Now the retail giant is looking to simplify.

In defining its platform, Walmart is beholden to no one and can quickly integrate the latest LLMs to maintain its competitive advantage. Inherent in the design decision to seek platform independence is also a strong commitment to open source, which is baked into Element’s integration options and structure.
