Arriving just in time for the holiday season, Sparky, Walmart’s AI-powered shopping assistant, is now available to all Canadians on Walmart.ca and the Walmart App to help customers discover products, compare options and build shopping lists through a natural conversation.
Sparky can help customers move from an idea to a shopping list in moments, taking some of the time and guesswork out of shopping, with the same everyday low prices they already see online and through the Walmart App. Whether they’re planning a meal on a budget, searching for the perfect gift or getting ready to start a new fitness routine, customers can ask Sparky to find relevant products, compare options and summarize reviews. To get started, customers can click the smiling Sparky button.
“Shopping doesn’t always begin with a product in mind - it often begins with a question, an occasion or a budget,” said Andrew Go, Vice President, eCommerce and Marketing, Walmart Canada. “Sparky helps Canadians turn those everyday needs into a thoughtful shopping list, whether they’re planning a holiday meal, comparing products or searching for the right gift. It’s the latest way we’re making shopping with Walmart easier and more convenient.”
Sparky is happy to help. Here are some prompts to give Sparky a try:
- “Help me plan a holiday dinner for eight on a budget.”
- “Compare gift ideas for someone who loves to cook.”
- “What do I need to decorate my home for the holidays?”
- “Find highly rated toys for a five-year-old.”
- “Build a shopping list for a family movie night.”
And this is just the start. As Sparky continues to evolve, planned features include shopping using images, recipe inspiration and help with everyday essentials.
Sparky is available nationally in English and French on Walmart.ca and the Walmart App.
