The AI Daily Brief · Thursday, October 1, 2026
DoorDash has launched an AI agent that allows customers to place orders via text message, incorporating features similar to personal agents like Muse. This move aims to increase order value and maintain direct customer relationships, while also building their own platform-specific agent in parallel with supporting third-party agents.
“In one surprise launch this week, DoorDash has announced that their AI agent is getting the Muse treatment and can now take orders via text.”
“Customers can now text the DoorDash agent with a natural language prompt, and the agent will figure out the rest.”
“The company has said that agentic orders have a 50% higher basket value when buying groceries.”
