Walmart is partnering with Apple to allow customers to order online groceries with their voice on Siri, according to a blog post from three executives, led by Tom Ward, senior vice president, digital operations for Walmart U.S.
Walmart Voice Order, introduced earlier this year, will let customers add items to a Walmart online grocery cart just by talking to Apple's Siri voice assistant, which is available on the iPhone and other Apple devices, including iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, HomePod and CarPlay.
Customers can launch the order by saying "Add to Walmart" and then tell the voice assistant which particular items to order. The order will be fulfilled by Walmart personal shoppers, and customers can either pick up the order or have it delivered to their homes.
