Meet Your New AI Assistant

Everyday shopping on DoorDash is now faster and more intuitive. We’re piloting a new AI-powered Assistant designed to help you plan, discover, and shop with ease.

Your Assistant helps you go from an idea to a full cart in seconds. Whether you’re ordering meals, stocking up on essentials, or managing your weekly needs, it can suggest items based on your preferences, build your cart quickly, and surface helpful recommendations along the way.

You can use it to:

  • Search based on vibe or mood

  • Find recipes or meal ideas tailored to you

  • Quickly reorder your go-to meals

  • Add ingredients or household items directly to your cart

  • Plan ahead for the week, from breakfasts to snacks and more

Try prompts like:

  • "A cozy meal that isn't too heavy"

  • "I need snacks for my kids for the week."

  • "Something healthy that isn't a salad"

  • "Add all the ingredients for spaghetti carbonara to my cart."

  • “Lunch I can eat at my desk”

We’re committed to responsibly improving your shopping experience by monitoring performance, learning from feedback, and thoughtfully expanding what this technology can do.

Information you share in your messages may be used to personalize future chat sessions. If you want the Assistant to forget something and not use it to inform future interactions, you can request that directly in the chat.

Important things to keep in mind:

Always review the items in your cart to ensure they fit your specific requirements, quantities, and dietary needs before checking out.

  • AI can make mistakes: The Assistant is powered by AI and can make mistakes.

  • Informational use only: All AI-generated responses and suggestions are provided for reference only.

  • Not medical advice: No response or product detail is intended to replace professional medical advice. Don’t rely on this feature to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any health condition, disease, or for making medical decisions. Always seek the advice of a physician or qualified health provider.

  • Dietary guidance: Nutritional data is for general reference only. Please consult a nutritionist or dietary professional to verify that products meet your individual health needs. If you have any serious concerns about dietary content, please confirm directly with the restaurant.

  • Product accuracy: Suggestions are based on available product data which may not always be up-to-date. Always verify the physical packaging for the most accurate information regarding safety, nutrition, and ingredients (especially regarding allergens) or confirm with the restaurant prior to ordering.

  • Alcohol safety: Please consume responsibly. Alcohol delivery is strictly for individuals 21+.

  • Availability: As this is a pilot program, access to this feature is currently limited to select users.
