CEO Tony Xu shared the figure on the company's third-quarter earnings call, noting most users still order through DoorDash's own app. For comparison, DoorDash completes an average of 3 million deliveries daily, per its 2025 report. Xu said the company wants to learn more about agentic ordering and could have a future opportunity to advertise within third-party agents. DoorDash already runs its own agents: a text-to-order agent launched in September, a CLI agent from July, and the Ask DoorDash chatbot from June, plus an MCP for corporate ordering through other chatbots. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
