The tool is currently available to macOS developers in the US and Canada via waitlist. While it enables developers to integrate DoorDash ordering into their agents, it raises questions about whether bypassing DoorDash's own app and ad-driven flows hurts the company's low-margin business. Commentators like Gergely Orosz and OpenCode creator Dax Raad debate the trade-off: disintermediation is risky, but refusing to offer a sanctioned agent interface may be even riskier if agentic ordering becomes mainstream. The announcement coincides with the Linux Foundation's X402 Foundation launch, part of broader infrastructure being built for AI agents to transact autonomously. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
