DoorDash周三宣布推出一款可通过Apple Messages发送指令进行点餐的AI助手。
DoorDash announced on Wednesday that it’s launching a text-to-order AI agent that lets users place orders through Apple Messages.
用户可以发送如‘点我常吃的菜’这样的指令，AI助手会理解用户指的是周五晚上的订单。
The new tool allows users to send prompts like “order my usual,” and the agent will understand that they mean their Friday night order. DoorDash says users can also ask for a specific dish and request a local recommendation.
该助手还能根据用户需求推荐当地餐厅和菜品，并发送推荐菜品的照片。对于团体订单，AI助手能处理不同的饮食偏好和数量要求。
The agent will then search local spots and suggest a cart based on the prompt, and even text photos of the food it recommends. When ordering for a group, DoorDash says the agent can handle mixed dietary preferences and different quantities in one order.
通过推出这款AI助手，DoorDash旨在超越竞争对手Uber Eats和Grubhub。
By launching an AI agent for food ordering, DoorDash is looking to gain an edge over rivals Uber Eats and Grubhub.
同时，这也反映了当前个人AI助手日益普及的趋势——用户无需再手动操作应用程序或网站即可完成各种任务。目前，美国用户已可报名参与新功能的试用。
The launch also comes amid a growing push to adopt personal AI agents that can handle tasks without requiring users to navigate apps or websites themselves. DoorDash is opening up a waitlist for users in the U.S. to try out the new feature.
此外，DoorDash还宣布将在北加州与部分餐厅合作测试其送货无人机。
In addition to the new AI agent, DoorDash announced that it will begin testing its delivery drones with select restaurants in Northern California.
