Amazon is giving you a new way to order food through Grubhub and Uber Eats with Alexa without having to endure an awkward exchange just to add fries. Amazon said the entire process is meant to be conversational, building your order in a similar manner to ordering in a restaurant.<\/p>\n

That means changing your order, modifying an item, or adding a drink mid-conversation is as simple as saying so, without having to wait for Alexa to finish talking. Amazon said Alexa will only step in when you need help or have questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years, voice assistants have operated on a call-and-response model: you ask, it answers,\u201d Amazon said in a press release. \u201cNow when you start an order, you\u2019ll see a new conversational window where you can naturally explore, decide, and order with minimal back-and-forth with Alexa.\u201d<\/p>\n

The update is part of the company\u2019s broader push to make its digital assistant more useful and conversational after launching Alexa Plus, its souped-up, generative AI-powered version of Alexa, last year.<\/p>\n

The feature is rolling out to Alexa Plus subscribers with Echo Show 8 devices and larger, which will show changes to your order in real time. Amazon did not provide a timeline for the rollout or say whether it will come to other gadgets.<\/p>\n

To get started, connect your Grubhub or Uber Eats account through the Alexa app. You can do this by selecting More Alexa+ Store Food & Reservations.<\/p>\n

Saved restaurants and past orders will automatically sync to your Alexa and you can search for restaurants by name or cuisine, reorder a previous meal, or start fresh. You can ask Alexa to \u201cshow me desserts,\u201d \u201cshow me some Italian restaurants,\u201d or offer kid-friendly suggestions, for example, and you\u2019ll see a summary of everything in your cart before purchasing. You\u2019ll get updates on the order in the \u201cFor You\u201d section, too, or you could just ask Alexa where your food is.<\/p>\n

Amazon said the update is \u201cjust the start of our long-term vision for how customers can interact…<\/p>\n
