DoorDash, Inc. announced Wednesday that it is launching a new grocery shopping app within OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform, just a week after rival Instacart unveiled a similar feature.
The food delivery company said the integration will connect ChatGPT’s suggestions to DoorDash’s nationwide grocery network, allowing customers to “instantly convert recipe and meal ideas into grocery orders delivered within an hour.”
“This partnership is an important first step toward meeting customers where they look for inspiration and delivering the DoorDash experience they already know and love,” the company said in a statement.
Andy Fang, co-founder of DoorDash, said the partnership would help streamline the meal planning and shopping process: “AI unlocks a whole new search and discovery experience for consumers that is dynamic and personalized.

“We’re excited to partner with OpenAI to create a seamless experience that allows users to quickly order ingredients for any recipe and checkout directly on DoorDash.”
Fang added that the move is part of a broader effort to broaden the use of AI, saying: “As we expand this experience to more retail categories, our focus is on building AI tools that give people back time and make local shopping easier.”
DoorDash said the partnership will make grocery shopping “easier, faster and more convenient,” explaining that ChatGPT will be able to customize recipes based on user preferences and convert ingredients into a shopping list. Once the list is complete, the user can open a shopping cart in the DoorDash app and have an order delivered to a local store.
Kroger, Safeway, Bi-Rite, Schnucks, Fairway Markets and Wegmans are among the stores participating in the partnership, DoorDash said.
