"To use the new chatbot, users search for a grocery store in the Uber Eats app and tap the purple Cart Assistant icon on the store's page to begin shopping. Customers can enter a list or upload an image of one, and Cart Assistant will automatically add the necessary items to their basket. This includes photos of handwritten lists or screenshots of recipes and their ingredients. Users can then customize the basket by swapping items for preferred brands or adding more products from the store."
"Uber Eats notes that Cart Assistant uses previous orders to prioritize familiar items - like your usual milk or favorite oatmeal - to make the experience more personalized. "Users were telling us they wanted a quicker way to shop, and we know how precious your time is," Uber CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga said in a statement. "Cart Assistant helps you get from idea to checkout in seconds.""
