Walmart Global Tech

Remember when being a developer meant writing every line of code? That’s changing—fast. AI is shifting the role from coder to orchestrator, unlocking new levels of creativity, strategy, and impact: https://lnkd.in/gMMuQURx

We're all in on agents! 🚀 Why? To create a smarter, more connected experience for everyone. At the heart of our strategy are four super agents — intelligent, intuitive entry points that are already beginning to reshape how people interact with Walmart. - Sparky, our customer shopping agent, is already live in the Walmart app, helping customers find what they need quickly and intuitively. Soon, it will power even more: reordering, seamless support and shopping that feels even more effortless. - Our associate agent brings everything into one place—from schedules to sales data—saving time and letting teams focus on what matters most. - Our partner agent, Marty, helps suppliers, sellers, and advertisers manage onboarding, orders and campaigns—all in one streamlined space. - Our developer agent speeds up how we test, build, and launch—enabling innovation at scale across Walmart. We’re not just adopting the tools of the future; we're building them! #AI #AgenticAI
