The company averages 3 million deliveries a day and still sees most orders through its own app.

On its third-quarter earnings call, DoorDash CEO Tony Xu said third-party agents such as Muse, Instinct and Fo had produced only several hundred orders in total. DoorDash’s 2025 report cited an average of 3 million deliveries a day, and Xu said users still mainly order in the DoorDash app. The company runs its own text-to-order agent, CLI agent, Ask DoorDash chatbot and an MCP for corporate chatbot ordering, and Xu said it may later advertise inside third-party agents.

Key facts
  • Xu called agent ordering a dynamic area and said the company does not want to fight it.
  • DoorDash launched a text-to-order agent in September and a CLI agent in July.
  • Ask DoorDash, launched in June, takes orders from prompts and photos.
  • Xu said future advertising inside third-party agents is a possible opportunity.
