Walmart announced it will allow external AI agents to make purchases on its platform beginning next month, giving each agent its own 'Agent Profile' tied to a customer's account. Shoppers can set spending limits, require approval for purchases, or let agents buy autonomously within a budget, and can review or disable agent activity at any time.
