Walmart has added new AI shopping tools just before the holidays, but details are thin. Here is what is known and what to check in the app before you rely on them.
Walmart has rolled out new AI shopping features just ahead of the holiday season, according to a November 2, 2026 report from Chain Store Age. If you plan to shop at the biggest US retailer this year, there may be new tools in the Walmart app waiting for you.
The report says the features are new and arrive in time for peak holiday shopping. That is about all it says. The material does not describe what each tool does, what it costs, or when every shopper will get access.
Walmart is the largest US retailer, so tools like these could reach millions of everyday shoppers. AI shopping tools usually aim to help with things like finding gift ideas, though the report does not confirm what these ones do. Anyone who shops at Walmart, online or in the app, may see them.
Open the Walmart app and see which features you can actually use. If a tool suggests gifts, treat it as a starting point. Compare prices before you buy, and read what the app asks to know about you before you agree to share it.
Try Walmart's new AI tools for gift ideas if you like, but still compare prices and check what the app asks to know about you.
