E-commerce and shopping are about to significantly change. ChatGPT is going to be a store as well as an answer engine and … of course … a porn empire.
Summarizing my post at Forbes:
- Walmart is integrating directly into ChatGPT, enabling users to shop via conversation
- A new “instant checkout” system lets users buy recommended items without leaving the chat
- The experience is personalized using Walmart account data, including past purchases
- Walmart calls this shift “agentic commerce” — a move from search-based shopping to AI-first interactions
- It’s a direct challenge to Amazon’s dominance in product discovery and e-commerce
- The partnership positions Walmart as a leader in AI-driven retail experiences
