"You can use text prompts, as you would with any other AI chatbot, to ask it to build a grocery list for you. Or you can upload a picture of your shopping list and ask it to populate your cart with all your favorite items, based on your order history. You can be as generic as you - "milk, eggs, cereal" - and the bot will make a list with all your preferred brands."
"And that's just to start out. Uber says in the coming months, Cart Assistant will add more features, including "full recipe inspiration, meal plans, and the ability to ask follow up questions, and expand to retail partners." But like all chatbots, Uber acknowledges that Cart Assistant may make mistakes, and urges users to double-check and confirm the results before placing any orders."
Cart Assistant builds and populates grocery carts inside the Uber Eats app using text prompts or by uploading a photo of a shopping list, and can infer preferred brands from a user's order history. Planned features include recipe inspiration, meal plans, follow-up question capability, and expansion to retail partners. The tool is interoperable at launch with select grocers including Albertsons, Aldi, CVS, Kroger, Safeway, Sprouts, Walgreen, and Wegmans, with more stores coming. Uber partners with OpenAI for app integration but says Cart Assistant draws on publicly available LLMs and Uber's AI stack. Users are urged to verify results before ordering.
