  • •DoorDash has received only several hundred orders via AI agents since their launch.
  • •The company processed nearly 1 billion total orders in Q3 2026, highlighting low AI usage.
  • •DoorDash's MCP connector aims to streamline AI ordering but is currently limited to beta partners.

During its third-quarter earnings call, DoorDash CEO Tony Xu disclosed that the company has only received 'several hundred' orders from third-party AI agents since their introduction. This is a stark contrast to the nearly 1 billion total orders processed by DoorDash in the same quarter. Xu noted that while AI agents have potential for more complex purchases, their application in simple food ordering remains limited. The company recently launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector to facilitate AI ordering, but it is still in beta and primarily used for corporate orders. DoorDash's own AI agents, including a text-to-order feature and a chatbot, have been introduced to enhance user experience. The overall landscape for AI-based ordering is still evolving, with varying acceptance across platforms like Amazon and Walmart.
