Uber Eats Cart Assistant Lets You Shop Faster with Fewer Taps

The AI Cart Assistant uses previous orders to personalize grocery selection and allows list uploads, speeding up shopping in Uber Eats’ app beta version.

  • On Wednesday, Uber Eats announced Cart Assistant, a new AI feature to speed grocery cart building, and launched its beta version in the app.
  • Uber CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga said users asked for a quicker way to shop, prompting development of the Cart Assistant to improve convenience and competitiveness with rival apps.
  • Shoppers tap a purple Cart Assistant icon in the Uber Eats app, then type or upload lists including photos, and the assistant adds items automatically for customization before checkout.
  • At dozens of grocers, Cart Assistant aims to get users from idea to checkout in seconds, factoring in availability, prices, and promotions, though Uber warns it might not perform perfectly.
  • The move follows recent AI integrations by rivals, with Uber launching its latest consumer-facing AI feature in recent years after Instacart's 2023 ChatGPT tool and last year's ChatGPT integrations by Uber Eats and DoorDash.
