Basically no one is using AI agents for their DoorDash orders

I think the proposition only works if you consistently order the same items from the same restaurant (and so on). It makes the order more predictable ("hey siri, order the same takeout I got from X chinese spot last week").

I don't need to see a menu, prices, or options for that unless I want to deviate from it.

Then you don't need an agent. You just need a classic automation.

Sure, if the audience is all developers. We're talking about people who very likely are not.

The food delivery app I use occasionally has a reorder button for past orders. I've never used it but I can't imagine it's more of a hassle than typing something to a hallucinating chatbot
