"What's for dinner?" is a question AI can now answer.
One of DoorDash's newest features lets users create an order using an AI chat. Customers generally describe what they want to eat or upload a photo of a shopping list or a recipe, and the feature, called "Ask DoorDash," compiles the ingredients in a shopping cart.
Most big retailers and delivery services have created AI shopping assistants, from Amazon's Alexa for Shopping to Walmart's Sparky. Ask DoorDash aims to provide a similar convenience, though perhaps for a quick weeknight meal or ingredients for a specific recipe when you don't have time to run to the store. Uber and Instacart have similar features.
Business Insider's Alex Bitter tested out the new feature, both for a specific recipe and for general meal inspiration. Read his thoughts at the link in our bio.
