Sparky

Name: Sparky
Brand: Walmart

Sparky is Walmart's generative shopping assistant launched in 2024. The system helps customers find the right product, answers questions about specifications, summarizes customer reviews and suggests alternatives in natural conversation. It draws on the Walmart catalog, customer reviews and data on pricing and store availability.

The assistant is available in the Walmart mobile app (iOS and Android) and on walmart.com as an embedded chat opened from an in-UI icon. Sparky is offered at no additional cost to Walmart customers — it is not a standalone subscription product and is not exposed via an API. It operates only within Walmart's shopping ecosystem.
