AI Alert!🚀 We’ve all been there. You’re considering a subscription for your favorite paper towel brand, but the frequency question is holding you back. How many rolls will you need per month? What if you miscalculate and run out, leaving you in a mess with nothing to clean it up? Here’s the good news: Starting this week, Walmart is using AI to take the guesswork out of subscriptions. Instead of customers tracking their usage over time to figure out what’s best - or simply subscribing based on what’s most common, we’ll use advanced AI technology to estimate the ideal subscription frequency. This AI starts by considering past purchases and usage patterns, and over the coming weeks and months, it will become even more personalized and accurate. We’ll fine-tune it with comprehensive data, factoring in elements like skipped subscriptions or item serving sizes. #AI #TeamWalmart

Thrilled to be in India this week as we celebrate International Women’s Day. Walmart Global Tech is filled with incredible women who help power our business every day, and I'm grateful to everyone who joined us for an insightful listening session. I’ve especially enjoyed getting to spend time with the Walmart Global Tech India People team leaders and so many others this week. I’m proud of the work the teams are doing to make Walmart a place where women can grow, thrive and belong. That culture of belonging is being recognized in India: 📣 Walmart has been in the top 100 companies for women in India 6 years in a row, including being ranked 15 in 2023 by benchmarking firm Avtar. 📣 We were also named the most inclusive organization for women in tech by WEquity. It’s a great recognition of the work our associates put in every day to make Walmart a place for all. #TeamWalmart #YouBelongHere #InternationalWomensDay
