Walmart rolled out an AI tool for store employees that analyzes what needs to be done during a shift and recommends the most important tasks in priority order. It cut the time team leads spend planning overnight shifts from 90 minutes down to 30 minutes. The tool launched in June 2025 and is being expanded beyond overnight shifts to other parts of the store day.
Details
Announced June 24, 2025, as part of a broader suite of AI tools for 1.5 million U.S. store associates, the task management tool is powered by Walmart's proprietary Element machine learning platform. The same June 2025 announcement included two additional tools: a real-time translation assistant supporting 44 languages (both text and spoken), and an AI-powered benefits help desk that cut the average time to answer employee benefits questions in half by giving associates direct AI-assisted access to Walmart's 300-page benefits guide. All three tools are built for use in the Me@Walmart associate app.
