Today we're opening up the DoorDash CLI in limited beta.
`dd-cli` lets you order DoorDash directly from your agent: search stores, find the best deals, check out, and more.
Early access for US/Canadian macOS developers by waitlist. Excited to see what folks build!

Just five years ago, finding worthwhile Texas barbecue might have been a challenge in the Bay Area, but now it’s the region’s most popular style. Here are the shining stars of Southern-style barbecue in the Bay Area: sfchronicle.com/projects/best-…

With our internal coding benchmark, we're able to confidently introduce open-weight models into our AI code reviewer w/o degrading code quality. Have the frontier model (Fable) to the hardest work, delegate lower-level work to Kimi K2.6
Better quality, cheaper cost.
DoorDash AI Research@AIatDoorDash
Because of DashBench, we’re able to quickly discern which model combinations yield the best results and at the best cost. For example, with DashBench we’ve seen Kimi K2.6 + Fable 5 vastly outperform our current Sonnet 4.6 + Opus 4.8 harness at a cheaper cost. Having our own benchmark allows us to build confidence in leveraging the frontier intelligence and open-weight models without compromising on enterprise outcomes.

Excited for DoorDash to be part of Open USD.
For a global marketplace like ours, having money move faster and frictionlessly matters a lot to our end-users. Grateful to participate as a launch partner with @openstandard !

This is a great example of real value people are getting from Ask DoorDash. (1) Snapping a recipe photo and converting that into an orderable grocery list; (2) Recipe inspirations from what's in your fridge + direct add-to-cart.
Many such cases we're seeing from usage metrics

Anyone I know who works at @DoorDash ?
We have a corporate benefit there for @adaption_ai but has been giving our people team nightmares because has been so buggy.
We are about to switch even though would really prefer not to 🥺

We’ve been experimenting with this build in iMessage. Text it to order or have it proactively tell you what to get. Useful?

We’re announcing a $38M Series A led by @a16z.
1 million hours of automated work behind us. Millions more ahead.
The future belongs to the 100x operator.

Everyone’s trying to ship AI products to customers, but most don’t end up driving business impact.
Ask DoorDash was a big investment from our teams to build an agent that’s reliable and useful to our consumers. It took many iteration cycles to build a great agent harness. Huge credit to the teams behind this!
Over the coming weeks, @AIatDoorDash will go deeper on each engineering pillar behind the Assistant: Intelligence, Evals, Platform, and UX.

Today we’re launching Ask DoorDash — a new conversational way to search the app in your own words through chat, voice, a recipe link or photo. Ask DoorDash can build you a grocery cart ~5x faster than doing it manually. It takes a single prompt to complete your cart in under 2 minutes.
In early testing, nearly half of all restaurant orders made with Ask DoorDash were from a place the customer had never ordered from before, and grocery baskets built with Ask DoorDash were over 35% larger than those without. [1/3]
English
We've spent over a decade building an app that puts everything in your city at your fingertips. The average person has 800k+ menu items and grocery products available to them on @DoorDash, but more options shouldn’t mean more work to find what you want.
Now the app works harder so you don’t have to: about.doordash.com/en-us/news/ask… [3/3]

Ask DoorDash is a win for merchants too. For a restaurant, this can boost your visibility with the improved, personalized discovery experience. For a grocer, this can greatly increase your basket sizes, and customers don’t need to build a grocery cart item by item.
The infrastructure behind Ask DoorDash will be made available to any merchant who wants to bring this experience to their own customers. [2/3]

Congrats Anthropic team on the Fable launch. We had an opportunity to benchmark it on some internal use cases and saw step-function improvements (though much more expensive...)
Excited to roll Fable out more widely at DoorDash!
DoorDash AI Research@AIatDoorDash
We benchmarked Claude Fable on DashBench PR Review (our internal code-review benchmark) Claude Fable had the strongest overall performance: • 62.7% recall (almost double that of Opus 4.8) • 88.7% precision • 73.4% F1 GPT-5.5 had the highest precision at 91.7%. Also, Fable was ~2.5x more expensive per PR. Code review is one of our biggest blockers at DoorDash - excited to see the rapid model progress in making agentic coding superhuman!

Yes, DoorDash does in fact do hardcore autonomy tech 😎
DoorDash AI Research@AIatDoorDash
WOW! We are floored by the reception we received at our booth today, and our mixer tonight is now at full capacity. We enjoyed sharing DoorDash Dot with all of you today. DoorDash is one of the few co’s in the world building a full L4 autonomy stack in-house 🤖🦾

Not sure why DoorDash isn't mentioned at all in this report in the notable immigrant-founded companies who IPO'ed. Stan and Tony are both immigrants, and my parents immigrated to the US from Taiwan.
Nonetheless, more power to immigrant founders in the US!
Alec Stapp@AlecStapp
This new research on US unicorn startups is really interesting. Some key facts from the report: 1. Immigrants founded or cofounded 455 of America’s 775 privately held billion-dollar startups, equal to 59% of all US unicorns. 2. 66% of all US unicorns were founded or cofounded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. 3. 79% of US unicorns have either an immigrant founder or an immigrant in a key leadership role. 4. The 455 immigrant-founded US unicorns have a combined valuation of $5 trillion. 5. That $5 trillion valuation is larger than the total stock-market value of companies listed in all but 7 countries. 6. Including immigrant-founded unicorns that went public since 2016 pushes the total value above $5.8 trillion. 7. The number of immigrant-founded US unicorns rose from 50 in 2018 to 455 in 2026. 8. 24% of US unicorns have a founder who first came to America as an international student.

The @AIatDoorDash team is grinding hard. Working in a separate space, alongside with AI-native founders like Aryan
We're looking to hire AI researchers to help us push forward the frontier of agentic commerce. See below on how to apply or DM me directly with a cool project you've worked on.
Aryan Shah@aryanxshah
We ran out of whiteboard space and are on the walls @AIatDoorDash Come push the frontier with us - we’re looking for summer and fall research fellows. Any education or experience level, unlimited compute, mentorship from senior researchers, and full publication support + a very generous stipend.
