DoorDash now lets you order by text in Apple Messages
DoorDash today launched a new way to order your next meal: via text in Apple’s Messages app, powered by AI. Here are the details.
AI agents are here to stay, and they don’t just look like cute digital creatures. While Meta’s Muse and OpenAI’s Dots have gotten a lot of attention, AI agents are popping up in ways that are less obviously “AI” too.
For example, today DoorDash launched the ability to skip the app and simply text to place your food order in Apple’s Messages app. It’s available in the US only to start, and interested users will need to first join this waitlist. And it’s all powered by an AI agent.
Here’s the rundown on how it works, via DoorDash’s announcement:
To get started, join DoorDash’s waitlist and you’ll be notified when text access is granted. Depending on demand, that access might arrive right away, or it may take some time.
