Walmart (WMT) is capping its staff's usage of an artificial intelligence agent following a period of high demand, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The retail giant is now offering a limited amount of "tokens" per worker to use the AI agent, called Code Puppy, which helps employees with spreadsheets and presentations, among other tasks, the people reportedly told Bloomberg. Previously, staff had an unlimited amount of tokens, the report said.
"As AI adoption grows across the company, our approach is to help associates experiment, solve problems and create better experiences for customers and members," a Walmart spokesperson told. "We want associates using AI in ways that create meaningful value, and we are supporting them with the skills and guidance to use the right AI for the right task."
