Wal-Mart Partners With Google for Voice Shopping

Wal-Mart and Google are partnering to enable voice shopping through Google Assistant, Google’s virtual assistant that lives on devices like its smart speaker, Google Home. Wal-Mart’s “Easy Reorder” feature will be available through an integration with Google’s shopping service, Google Express. Consumers will be able to shop thousands of Wal-Mart products just by speaking into Google Home. TechCrunch reports that Google Express is ditching its membership fees, and now promises free delivery across its retailers in one to three days (as long as customer orders are above each store’s minimums).
