"DoorDash is expanding its use of artificial intelligence from an in-app assistant into a transactional agent that can handle food orders through messaging. The company announced that customers in the U.S. can join a waitlist for a new text-based ordering experience. Instead of opening the DoorDash application and navigating menus, users can send a message describing what they want. The system can interpret requests, search DoorDash's marketplace, build a cart and complete checkout within the messaging experience."

"As part of our ongoing work to broaden food access, DoorDash, the local commerce platform, will begin accepting SNAP/EBT payments on the platform with multiple grocery partners including ALDI, Albertsons, Safeway, Meijer, and participating 7-Eleven® stores. With these partnerships, more than 4,000 grocery and convenience locations nationwide will soon offer SNAP/EBT payment capabilities on DoorDash for on-demand delivery of eligible grocery items."
