Uber announced a new AI feature called “Cart Assistant” for grocery shopping in its Uber Eats app.

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.
