DoorDash introduces command-line tool for ordering via AI agents
9 reported
DoorDash has launched a limited beta of DoorDash CLI, a command-line tool that allows developers to order DoorDash directly from an AI agent. The tool, called “dd-cli,” can search stores, find deals, and check out, according to the company. It is open to U.S. and Canadian macOS developers via a waitlist, as announced by DoorDash co-founder and CTO Andy Fang in a post on X. The announcement has drawn attention for its humorous contrast between command-line tools and ordering lunch, but DoorDash positions it as an example of agentic commerce. The company is exposing its ordering platform to AI agents, enabling developers to build custom tools for ordering food, groceries, or finding local deals. DoorDash has also experimented with iMessage and its own AI chatbot, “Ask DoorDash,” and exposes its service to AI chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Claude. The sign-up form includes a field asking developers what they would build if allowed into the beta.
