Walmart and OpenAI Bring AI Shopping to New Jersey

Walmart is taking shopping to a whole new level and New Jersey shoppers are about to experience the difference.

Through a new partnership with OpenAI, the retail giant is introducing an AI-first shopping experience that transforms how customers plan, browse, and buy.

With this new technology, Garden State shoppers can now explore Walmart’s vast selection and even complete purchases directly within ChatGPT. Whether you’re looking for the best fall fashion finds, family dinner ingredients, or the latest tech, AI will make suggestions tailored to your needs and preferences, all in one simple conversation.

Picture asking, “What’s for dinner this week?” and instantly getting a full meal plan, complete with items ready to add to your Walmart cart. It’s convenient, fast, and designed to make everyday life easier for New Jersey families.

Walmart’s new AI approach moves beyond traditional online shopping. Instead of waiting for you to start searching, the system proactively learns what you like and anticipates what you’ll need next, whether it’s baby essentials, back-to-school supplies, or seasonal home décor.

From Sam Altman, cofounder and CEO of OpenAI, according to corporate.walmart: “We’re excited to partner with Walmart to make everyday purchases a little simpler. It’s just one way AI will help people every day under our work together.”

This partnership continues Walmart’s growing use of artificial intelligence across its operations. From improving product listings and streamlining customer service to training associates on new AI tools, Walmart and Sam’s Club are already embracing technology to enhance both in-store and online experiences.

Amazon is one other retailer using AI. It's on the Amazon App, "Buy For Me".

In a world where convenience and technology go hand in hand, Walmart’s partnership with OpenAI ensures that shopping will never be the same, and New Jersey shoppers are right at the heart of it.
