Walmart overhauling approach to AI agents, WSJ reports

Walmart (WMT) is consolidating its AI agents into four “super agents,” for customers, staff, engineers, and sellers/suppliers, using Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol, The Wall Street Journal’s Isabelle Bousquette reports. The super agent for each group will tap the capabilities of a number of behind-the-scenes agents, all in a single experience, according to the report. “Artificial intelligence is already changing how we work,” said Walmart CEO Doug McMillon. “Learning and applying what we learn, as we build new tools, is the responsibility and an opportunity for all of us to improve experiences for our customers, members and fellow associates.”
