DoorDash, Instacart, and Uber Eats each implemented large language models into search differently—revealing competing views on where AI adds friction versus value in discovery. No settled UX pattern exists yet for AI-powered commerce search. The winner will likely be whichever platform reduces cognitive load without breaking the transactional flow users already know. Success depends less on AI capability than on understanding whether users want recommendations, natural language queries, or refinement of the existing browse-and-filter experience.
