Details
- DoorDash disclosed during its third-quarter earnings call that it has received only "several hundred" orders from third-party AI agents such as Muse, Instinct, and Fo.
- This volume is negligible compared to the company's reported average of 3 million daily deliveries, indicating that users remain predominantly reliant on the native DoorDash app for ordering.
- CEO Tony Xu described the agent-based ordering landscape as "very dynamic" and expressed a desire to develop healthy relationships with third-party agent makers, noting potential future opportunities for advertising within these agents.
- DoorDash has launched its own agentic tools, including a text-to-order agent (September), a CLI agent (July), and the Ask DoorDash chatbot (June), alongside an MCP connector for corporate ordering.
- The broader market for agent-based commerce remains fragmented, with Amazon blocking personal agents while Walmart actively welcomes them to capture business from competitors.
