DoorDash has announced an AI agent designed to enable food ordering through Apple Messages. The company has opened a waitlist for users in the US to try the new feature.
According to DoorDash, the agent recognizes a user's usual order based on a brief request. When a specific dish is entered, it is meant to search local businesses, suggest the contents of the order, and send photos of recommended dishes. For group orders, the company says it takes into account different dietary preferences and requested quantities.
Why it matters
The described features would allow individuals to place a repeat order via message, and in group ordering, reduce manual searching for food across different dietary preferences. So far, the opening of the waitlist in the US is documented; the agent's capabilities are described by DoorDash.
