On March 20, 2026, DoorDash, the colossus of the US food delivery industry, proclaimed the rollout of a dedicated app named 'Tasks'. This innovative platform empowers delivery drivers to undertake straightforward tasks, like snapping pictures of restaurant dishes and capturing videos of non-English casual chats during their downtime or between delivery runs, thereby augmenting their earnings. The remuneration for each task is transparently outlined beforehand, taking into account the task's intricacy. The collected original materials serve a dual purpose: they are instrumental in assessing AI models within DoorDash and are also shared with partners across retail, insurance, hospitality, and technology sectors. Earlier, Uber had initiated a comparable scheme, enabling its drivers to supplement their income by accomplishing minor tasks. At present, both the in-app Tasks feature and the standalone Tasks app are accessible in select regions across the United States, with the notable exceptions of California, New York City, Seattle, and Colorado. DoorDash has ambitions to broaden its scope, introducing more diverse task types and expanding into additional countries down the line.
