Bloomberg's early testing found it quoting prices that differed from the actual app total and misidentifying fridge photos; DoorDash says waitlist users get a newer build. The discrepancy is framed as a potential EU consumer-law issue under the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, since DoorDash now controls much of European delivery after acquiring Deliveroo and Wolt. A separate bulk-ordering product for company chatbots is already used internally by SpaceX, Cognition, and Mercor. DoorDash is also in talks with Meta, whose own agent Muse competes for the same booking/ordering role, about an integration; DoorDash CEO Tony Xu sits on Meta's board. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is DoorDash's new AI agent that lets you order food through text messages? DoorDash built an AI agent that takes food orders inside Apple's Messages app, letting users type requests like 'order my usual protein bowl to the office.' It matches a phone number to a DoorDash account, reads order history, and charges the stored payment method. It also suggests recipes from a photo of a fridge. A US waitlist opened for it. _Developers tracking how AI agents are reshaping consumer apps can follow rollouts like this on daily.dev._ ### Why could DoorDash's AI ordering agent run into legal trouble in Europe? Bloomberg's testing found the agent quoting prices that differed from what the DoorDash app actually charged. In the US this reads as a bug, but under the EU's Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, false information about price or how it's calculated counts as a misleading action if it's likely to change an average consumer's decision, making mismatched chat-window pricing a legal risk rather than just an error. _Teams shipping AI agents into regulated markets can track cases like this on daily.dev to gauge compliance risk._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Doordash adds AI tools to speed up merchant onboarding, edit photos of dishes](https://daily.dev/posts/doordash-adds-ai-tools-to-speed-up-merchant-onboarding-edit-photos-of-dishes-atj4h4zr7) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [DoorDash’s Tony Xu says AI agents will increase demand for human labour](https://daily.dev/posts/doordash-s-tony-xu-says-ai-agents-will-increase-demand-for-human-labour-siexh9w89) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#regulation](https://daily.dev/tags/regulation) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/doordash-launches-a-text-to-order-ai-agent-that-runs-inside-apple-messages-t18mhgvy2) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"DoorDash launches a text-to-order AI agent that runs inside Apple Messages","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/doordash-launches-a-text-to-order-ai-agent-that-runs-inside-apple-messages-t18mhgvy2","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/doordash-launches-a-text-to-order-ai-agent-that-runs-inside-apple-messages-t18mhgvy2"},"datePublished":"2026-09-30T16:24:53.983Z","dateModified":"2026-09-30T16:25:51.751Z","description":"DoorDash opened a US waitlist for an AI agent, Muse-adjacent but separate, that takes food orders inside Apple's Messages app by reading a user's order history...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/48e4ea1850ebd3c7e77be8218385a1e5?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/48e4ea1850ebd3c7e77be8218385a1e5?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/doordash-launches-a-text-to-order-ai-agent-that-runs-inside-apple-messages-t18mhgvy2","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,regulation","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"DoorDash launches a text-to-order AI agent that runs inside Apple Messages"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/doordash-launches-a-text-to-order-ai-agent-that-runs-inside-apple-messages-t18mhgvy2#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is DoorDash's new AI agent that lets you order food through text messages?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"DoorDash built an AI agent that takes food orders inside Apple's Messages app, letting users type requests like 'order my usual protein bowl to the office.'
