Learn more ↓A new way to earn for Dashers
Dashers have a new way to earn on their own terms by completing short activities like taking photos of a dish or recording everyday tasks, helping businesses get real-world insights.
“It's simple: you can't deliver to a door you can't find or get someone milk if you don't know what's on the shelf. These are the kinds of real-world problems we've been solving for over a decade. There are more than 8 million Dashers who can reach almost anywhere in the U.S. and who want to earn flexibly beyond delivery. That's a powerful capability to digitize the physical world.”— Ethan Beatty, General Manager, DoorDash Tasks

Get in touch →Real-World Task Dispatch
Your AI agent reasons, plans, and decides. DoorDash Tasks helps execute actions in the physical world. Engage a Dasher anywhere in the U.S. with a single API call.
The execution layer your agent is missing
An AI agent handles a user's request, resolves an address, selects an item, and engages a Dasher. No human in the loop. DoorDash Tasks is the physical execution layer your agent calls when it needs someone in the real world.
- Gift delivery triggered by AI agent on behalf of a user
- Automated errand dispatch integrated with CRM and calendar
- One-click SMB inventory restocking from approved supplier lists
On-Demand Property Documentation
Engage Dashers to photograph storm damage, document pre/post construction states, or complete structured inspection checklists. Outputs delivered directly to your claims platform.
Listing Photo Automation
A CRM fires a webhook on new listing creation. DoorDash Tasks requests a Dasher to capture exterior and entrance photos, delivered before the first showing.
Move Anything A → B
Documents, keys, samples, prototypes, if it fits in a bag, a Dasher can move it. Programmatic dispatch means no dispatcher in the loop.
