Uber Eats Debuts AI Grocery Assistant; xAI Suffers Setbacks

Uber Eats launched a new AI-powered feature, Cart Assistant, on Wednesday, designed to streamline grocery shopping for its users. The beta version of the chatbot is now available within the Uber Eats app, allowing customers to create grocery lists by either typing them out or uploading images of handwritten lists or recipes, according to TechCrunch.

The new Cart Assistant allows users to search for a grocery store within the Uber Eats app and tap the purple Cart Assistant icon on the store's page to begin shopping. The AI then automatically adds items to the user's basket, which can be customized by swapping items for preferred brands or adding more products from the store. Uber Eats noted that the feature uses previous orders to prioritize familiar items.

In other tech news, xAI, following its merger with SpaceX and social media platform X, has seen the departure of two more co-founders, according to The Verge. The merger, valued at a reported $1.25 trillion, is the biggest merger of all time. xAI is now structured into four divisions: Grok, Coding, Imagine, and Macrohard.

Also in the AI space, Glean, a company that began as an enterprise search product, is evolving into an AI work assistant, as reported by TechCrunch. The company aims to sit beneath other AI experiences, connecting to internal systems, managing permissions, and delivering intelligence wherever employees work. Glean raised $150 million last year at a $7.2 billion valuation, as competition heats up against tech giants bundling AI. Glean's CEO, Arvind Jain, explained how enterprises are thinking about AI architecture at Web Summit Qatar.

In other news, Apple released its latest iOS 26 update, which includes a new feature to make it easier for iPhone users to switch to Android. The new "Transfer to Android" feature lets users move their data by placing their Android and Apple phones side-by-side, according to The Verge.

Finally, Wildlight Entertainment, the developer of the multiplayer shooter Highguard, is reportedly laying off "most" of its staff just over two weeks after the game's launch, according to The Verge. The game, developed by individuals who previously worked on games like Apex Legends and Call of Duty, was met with job cuts at the company.
