Walmart's trying to prove its tech prowesswith new AI and AR announcements, Hope writes with Axios' Ina Fried and Ryan Heath.
Catch up quick: The company has a new generative AI-powered search feature in its iOS app where customers can now view a list of products across different categories by typing in an activity, such as a "football watch party," versus having to hunt for specific items one at a time, like "Doritos" and then "napkins."
Walmart also introduced a new augmented reality platform that lets shoppers try on clothing virtually and share their fit pics with friends.
