They fear that when checkout happens automatically after every single item that they're going to receive five boxes when they actually just want it all in one," he said.
Danker said the earlier system created issues because it required users to complete purchases item by item.
He said that conversion rates for in-chat purchases were "three times lower" than purchases where users were redirected to Walmart's website.

Shopping can start anywhere now, whether that’s Walmart or a question in ChatGPT,” said Daniel Danker, EVP of AI acceleration, product, and design at Walmart, in a statement to Inc.

AI shopping is such a new phenomenon that the retailer says it’s much too early to draw any conclusions about its ultimate success or failure.
Walmart will embed its own AI assistant (called “$1“) within ChatGPT for shoppers that are looking at its products.
