Walmart built an AI system — called the Content Decision Platform — that generates a different homepage for each shopper on walmart.com, based on their shopping history and what the AI predicts they'll want to see. Two people visiting the same URL at the same moment will see different products, layouts, and content. This rolled out in 2024 and was planned to be fully deployed for all U.S. shoppers by end of 2025.

Details

nnounced at Walmart's "Retail Rewired" event on October 9, 2024, the Content Decision Platform uses generative AI to predict the type of content each individual shopper prefers, then assembles that customer's version of the homepage in real time. The system was already operational in select areas of walmart.com at launch. Walmart planned to extend the same personalization technology to its international platforms in Canada and Mexico. The initiative is part of Walmart's broader "Adaptive Retail" strategy, which is aligned with its published Responsible AI Pledge.

Other practices by Walmart

OtherWalmart is piloting an AI tool that simulates a job interview for candidates applying to work at the company. It walks applicants through up to 10 practice questions, scores each response on a scale of 1 to 10, and gives instant feedback on how clearly and confidently the person answered. The pilot began in June 2025 with current Walmart employees and was planned to expand to all applicants.OtherWalmart delivers orders using drones and self-driving trucks that operate without a human driver. Drone delivery is available near 270-plus Walmart stores and is on track to reach 40 million Americans. In 2021, Walmart and an autonomous trucking company called Gatik completed the world's first fully driverless commercial delivery route, with no safety driver in the cab.OtherWalmart uses AI software to plan the most efficient routes for its delivery trucks, figure out how to pack trailers to minimize wasted space, and cut unnecessary miles from its logistics network. Walmart says this eliminated 30 million unnecessary miles and avoided 94 million pounds of CO₂ emissions. The company now sells this same routing technology to other businesses as a commercial software product.
