- Walmart launches Agent Gateway; Agent Profiles planned for next month
Walmart announced Agent Gateway, an MCP-based interface that lets approved AI agents retrieve inventory and place orders for shoppers on Walmart.com and Sam’s Club. The service begins as a beta for companies and developers. Agent Profiles, planned to roll out next month, would give each agent a dedicated profile, separate purchase history, and either approval for every purchase or a user-set spending limit. Walmart says agents cannot access payment details or act beyond a shopper’s intent, but the supplied reports do not independently verify its privacy controls, enforcement, or adoption.

Sam's Club said in an October 19 statement that thousands of malicious and false marketing posts targeting the retailer have appeared across multiple social media platforms. Some accounts used AI-generated copy, spliced material and fabricated interviews to pass off personal care, supplement and food products that were never sold at Sam's Club as "delisted Sam's Club favorites," in order to mislead shoppers and drive traffic for profit. The company said its legal team has preserved evidence and filed complaints with the platforms and regulators, will pursue legal action, and urged consumers to verify such claims.

Actress Wu Yue said in a post early on October 18 that a WeChat Channels account, "Huajie Meifu Riji," used AI to fabricate her face and voice to sell skincare under a "celebrity pick, recommended by Wu Yue" pitch, claiming she had approached the manufacturer to give fans benefits; the clip also included what appeared to be a deepfaked endorsement by Deng Yaping. According to The Paper, citing the WeChat team, the account has been permanently banned and its content cleared. A Jiemian News piece republished by Huxiu said the cosmetics merchant described the promotion as the independent act of a livestream seller and said the brand had not invited Wu Yue or Deng Yaping; the same day, Sam's Club said it had seen thousands of AI-generated or spliced fake marketing posts and had filed complaints with platforms and regulators.
