## AI overview

DoorDash said it had received only several hundred orders from third-party AI agents, compared with an average of 3 million deliveries a day. CEO Tony Xu said customers still predominantly order through DoorDash's app, while the company is exploring agent use cases and wants a constructive relationship with agent makers; he also raised possible future advertising in agents. DoorDash has launched its own text-to-order, CLI, and Ask DoorDash tools, and released an MCP for corporate ordering through other chatbots. The excerpt notes that businesses differ in whether they allow agents to access their sites, citing Amazon as blocking personal agents and Walmart as welcoming them.
