@paulg What could possibly go wrong:) Did someone order meat? 4,000 lbs of meat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0b_D2JgZgY&t=66shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0b_D2JgZgY&t=66s
3:54 PM · Jul 15, 2026@GergelyOrosz Food delivery is nowhere near low margin, they charge 20% more just to put the food in your cart and charge a service fee on top of that on every single order. It’s a disgusting margin
7:26 AM · Jul 16, 2026@GergelyOrosz Exactly and this is just a way for doordash to show up and say they are doing fancy AI, if they actually cared about experience they would offer APIs to build on
7:56 AM · Jul 16, 2026@GergelyOrosz 100% agree but excited to try it out

This (running a low-margin business where advertising to customers coming to your app/site being the difference between making a loss vs making a profit) is why there's no API to order from Amazon, Uber, and (until now) DoorDash. Explosing a CLI is not all that different from offering an API. I bet DoorDash will not make this generally available, but keep it to very few and select partners who they assume will be strategic partners and can perhaps strike eg brand deals (eg order DoorDash from your McDonalds app) or can later charge then whatever they might lose from ads served? Just my guess
2:30 AM · Jul 16, 2026AH thank you, there's an API, for deliveries, for select partners I wonder if the same thing could happen with the agentic CLI? Open to hand selected partners. It would make business sense The Drive API: https://developer.doordash.com/en-US/docs/drive/tutorials/get_started/
