About Amazon recent upgrade Alexa +, the next-generation AI assistant, allows you to order food from the popular delivery services Uber Eats and Grubhub through communication, as if you were chatting with a waiter at a restaurant or ordering from a drive-thru, according to Amazon.
The purpose of this new feature of Alexa + is to create a natural ordering and action. Starting today, users can start ordering food, browse the menu, ask questions, and customize their meal with just one conversation. If users change their mind inside, want to add salt, or change the amount, they can change it immediately.
To unlock the feature, users must connect their Grubhub or Uber Eats account through the Alexa app. Once connected, previous orders will automatically sync, making it easy to re-order your favorite foods or discover new restaurants. Users can say things like, “I want to order Italian for delivery,” and Alexa+ will direct them to different restaurants. Once the system is set up, users get a summary of the items in their cart, including quantities and prices.
