Walmart Pulls Back OpenAI ChatGPT Checkout
|
9.2
Walmart is pulling back from OpenAI's Instant Checkout inside ChatGPT after internal data showed conversion rates roughly three times lower than Walmart.com, sources report. The retailer is instead embedding its in-house assistant, Sparky, inside ChatGPT while keeping cart, login and checkout on Walmart's own systems; early results show Sparky converting at about 70% of Walmart.com rates. OpenAI is reworking Instant Checkout toward merchant-controlled architectures.
