DoorDash lets you text your food order with a new AI agent
DoorDash is betting that an AI agent can make ordering food as simple as sending a text. That's a smart move in a market where speed and convenience decide the winner. By launching this agent, DoorDash positions itself ahead of Uber Eats and Grubhub, not by promising a better app, but by removing friction entirely. For context on how AI agents are reshaping everyday tools, see our coverage of OpenAI's new office features. This is progress that feels natural, not forced.

Exploring how Google Maps evolves into an AI-powered task assistant.
Google Maps is stepping out of the navigation lane. With new agentic features that handle food ordering and hotel bookings, it's moving from a tool that gets you somewhere to one that does things once you arrive. That's a smart bet on becoming a true assistant for real-world tasks. We're watching this space closely, much like we did with X's Cashtags expansion. Connecting social behavior to action is the pattern, and Maps is now playing the same game.
