NEW YORK (Reuters) - Walmart on Tuesday unveiled two new AI-powered tools at the CES conference in Las Vegas to help shoppers quickly search for products and automate the process of re-ordering frequently ordered items.

The world's largest retailer launched a new GenAI search tool developed by combining Microsoft's AI models with Walmart's shopper data to enable shoppers to search for products using specific use cases instead of by brand names or items.
