This might have slipped under the radar at the time, but it’s worth bringing up. As reported by Bloomberg, it appears that Uber Eats could be working on its own AI-powered chatbot. However, as of today, this has neither been confirmed nor denied, so it remains a highly intriguing rumor.

With this alleged chatbot, Uber Eats would be providing an ideal tool for its users, as it would make recommendations and offer a much faster way to place orders. It seems that this feature would even inquire about the budget we have for our order and our dietary preferences to ensure the order is made in the best possible way.

Uber Eats could soon have its own AI-powered chatbot, as indicated by a report from Bloomberg

The discovery of this alleged Uber Eats chatbot, which was some time ago as mentioned earlier, was made by the developer Steve Moser. He found this supposed tool and its details in the code of Uber’s own application. Despite all these shared details, as we have already mentioned, this feature is neither confirmed nor does it have a release date.

Yes, this news as such is still unconfirmed. However, it’s also true that Uber’s CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, previously hinted that the company was working on an AI chatbot. He didn’t share specific details about this tool, and it wasn’t mentioned that it was related to Uber Eats. Now, connecting the dots, everything points to these two pieces of news being closely related, as it stands.

It’s worth mentioning that Khosrowshahi previously stated that Uber uses artificial intelligence for customers to connect with drivers and couriers for their services. So, it seems to be just a matter of time before the company introduces this new feature to its food delivery application, which makes sense considering the information we discussed earlier, indicating that they already use similar technology in other services. The remaining question to be answered is when they will implement it, given that, as a reminder, this news is from some time ago.
