Walmart October 2025

Helping Walmart predict what comes next.

Forecast Intelligence in Excel with the Pulse AI assistant

Overview

Bringing AI into Walmart’s financial planning. We introduced Pulse AI as an intelligent layer within that workflow, helping teams understand their data, surface relevant insights, and take action without leaving the tools they already use.

Problem

Users cannot easily understand, trace, or trust forecast changes because context is fragmented across tools, not captured in the system, and difficult to access.

This is extremely time-consuming, manual, and dependent on human memory rather than a system.

AI insights without losing sight of the data

We designed Pulse AI as a flexible companion. The sidebar keeps the underlying spreadsheet visible so users can explore, validate, and work with their data while asking AI for deeper insights.

When more space is needed, the experience can expand for detailed analysis or collapse out of the way to return focus to the data.

AI insights embedded in the workflow

We brought Pulse AI directly into the existing experience, automatically surfacing insights that explain the impact of each adjustment.

Users can quickly understand what changed and why, then seamlessly move into AI mode to investigate further.
