DASH News & Events

In a blog post, DoorDash stated: "Ask DoorDash is a conversational way to shop on DoorDash... DoorDash has spent a decade building the catalog and the consumer memory the agent grounds against, and most of what follows is how we keep the agent's output tied to them. The Assistant that powers Ask DoorDash is now rolling out to select areas in the U.S. on iOS, starting with restaurant search and grocery shopping. This post covers the runtime architecture, the four engineering pillars beneath it, and how the team builds it."

DoorDash Ads is launching a new suite of tools spanning ad formats, offsite reach, campaign automation, and measurement with the purpose of helping merchants drive sales and helping brands reach new consumers. "Consumers come to DoorDash ready to buy, and that's a fundamentally different opportunity for advertisers than most platforms can offer," said Toby Espinosa, VP of Ads at DoorDash. "Every order starts with an occasion - a Friday night, a birthday, a last-minute grocery run. We've built a platform around those moments, and now we can help businesses of every size reach consumers in them and measure what's working."
