Uber Eats is rolling out a set of AI-powered tools to improve how users find and choose food. The features include AI-generated food photos, enhanced menu item descriptions, and a smarter search experience.
How It Works
The app now uses artificial intelligence to suggest meals based on user behaviour, location, and past orders. It also improves search by understanding intent. For example, typing “spicy vegan noodles” returns better-targeted results.
AI Menu Enhancement
Restaurants can now use AI to generate realistic images of menu items. This helps smaller restaurants without professional photos compete with bigger brands. The tool creates images based on ingredients and menu text, improving visual appeal.
AI also rewrites menu descriptions to make them more engaging and informative. This helps users understand what they’re ordering, even if the original listing is vague or unclear.
Smarter Recommendations
The platform uses AI to suggest restaurants and dishes tailored to individual users. These are based on dietary preferences, time of day, and real-time data like weather or local events.
How Restaurants Benefit
These features make it easier for users to find what they want faster. For restaurants, AI tools mean better visibility and higher conversion, even with limited content or photos.
Uber says the AI rollout is ongoing. Features are expected to expand globally, with future updates possibly including voice ordering and real-time dietary filters.
