DoorDash text-to-order agent
DoorDash text-to-order agent is an in-app vertical AI agent from DoorDash. A text-message agent, working in Apple Messages, that builds your DoorDash order and checks out when you confirm. Nearfi's Agent Index rates its autonomy 3/5 (multi-step, with approval): it builds a cart and, once you confirm in the thread, checks out with your stored card; it pauses for your confirmation, and is not 4 because it will not order unprompted without your permission. Status: waitlist; 0 incident(s) logged.

Why 3: it builds a cart and, once you confirm in the thread, checks out with your stored card; it pauses for your confirmation, and is not 4 because it will not order unprompted without your permission.
What it does. Unveiled on 30 September 2026, it matches the texter's phone number to a DoorDash profile and uses order history, preferences and the stored payment method. You text a dish or 'order my usual'; it searches nearby restaurants, suggests a cart, and completes checkout after you confirm. With permission it can message you about a usual order before you ask.
Where it falls short. It is in early development. Bloomberg's test of an early version found prices that differed from those in the app. Access is by waitlist, and waitlisted users get a newer version.
