Walmart partners with OpenAI for ChatGPT shopping feature

Walmart said on Tuesday it was partnering with OpenAI to enable customers and Sam’s Club members to shop directly within ChatGPT, using the AI chatbot’s Instant Checkout feature. Walmart shares were up about 3% in early trading on Tuesday. The tie-up follows a similar partnership OpenAI announced last month with Etsy and Shopify, which sent the online sellers’ shares soaring.
