## Summary

DoorDash Inc. announced that it is accepting U.S. users for a waitlist to try an artificial‑intelligence ordering agent built into Apple’s Messages app. The agent lets customers place food orders directly from a chat conversation, eliminating the need to open the DoorDash app. At the same time, DoorDash opened a separate waitlist for a B2B API that lets business‑focused assistants – such as Slack bots – submit bulk orders on behalf of teams.

The two offerings target different use cases: the consumer‑facing agent aims to streamline everyday ordering, while the API is designed for enterprises that need to coordinate large‑scale meals for meetings or events. Both are still in preview, with DoorDash saying it will roll out the features to waitlisted users before a broader launch. No pricing or availability dates were disclosed.

## Key points

- DoorDash opened U.S. waitlists for an AI ordering agent inside Apple Messages
- A B2B API lets assistants like Slack bots place bulk food orders for teams
- Both features are in preview; no pricing or launch dates were provided

## Why it matters

Integrating AI ordering into a native messaging app could shift how consumers order food, while the bulk‑order API gives businesses a new way to manage team meals, potentially increasing DoorDash’s market share in both consumer and enterprise segments.
