DoorDash Launches CLI Beta for AI Agent Ordering in 2 Countries

Summary
DoorDash opened a limited beta of its “dd-cli” tool, letting developers in the U.S. and Canada order from DoorDash directly through AI agents on macOS.
The command-line interface can search stores, find deals and complete checkout, extending DoorDash’s ordering platform beyond its app into third-party software and automated workflows.
Andy Fang said access is waitlist-only, and DoorDash’s sign-up form asks developers what they would build with the tool—signaling the company wants outside services to layer on food and grocery ordering.
The launch builds on DoorDash’s earlier experiments with iMessage, its “Ask DoorDash” chatbot and integrations with chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude, pushing further into agentic commerce.
