Amazon blocked Meta's Muse — Walmart is building it a front door

TokenPost frames the announcement as a retail split: in September, Amazon blocked Meta's Muse shopping agent from Amazon.com — a warning told users an unauthorized AI agent had violated Amazon's Conditions of Use — while Walmart is building a sanctioned route with customer-set permissions. The contrast is the story: one giant walling agents out, the other writing their terms of entry.

Walmart lists ChatGPT, Gemini and Meta's Muse among its conversational-commerce integrations, and Shopify has also expanded its catalog access for AI shopping agents, with weekly, monthly or total spending limits. Walmart has not set a specific November launch date for Agent Profiles or a date for the Gateway beta.
