Reorder usual meals by texting a DoorDash agent
DoorDash's agent in Apple Messages pulls order history, builds the cart and checks out for customers who confirm in the thread, including group orders with mixed dietary needs.
- What They Did
- DoorDash's agent runs inside Apple's Messages. It matches the texter's phone number to their DoorDash profile and uses their order history and preferences. Given a request like "order my usual," it searches nearby restaurants, reads menus, suggests a cart and texts food photos. It can sort mixed dietary needs for group orders. The customer confirms in the thread, then it pays with the stored payment method.
- How It Went
- It is in a U.S. beta, open by waitlist. Bloomberg's test of an early version found prices that differed from the app's. DoorDash says waitlist users will get a newer version.
- Worth Knowing
- Check the prices the agent quotes against the app, because Bloomberg's early test found mismatches, and you have to join the waitlist to try it.
