Talabat, a leading on demand e-commerce and food delivery service, is innovating its users’ experience by introducing ‘talabat AI’, a ChatGPT-powered artificial intelligence grocery shopping assistant. With this, Talabat will be the first everyday delivery app to join the Artificial Intelligence bandwagon in the MENA region. Talabat Pro subscribers based in the UAE are first to enjoy the Beta version of the Talabat AI, with more countries soon to follow.
Using generative AI, Talabat’s new AI assistant enables customers who are ordering on Talabat Mart to search for recipes and simultaneously identify available ingredients, thus making the grocery shopping experience more convenient. Each customer is provided with cooking steps to execute the searched dish, along with nutritional information and an option to ask for cooking tips. Talabat worked on this exciting feature by organizing a hackathon event at their Tech Headquarters in the UAE, which is comprised of 450+ product and tech engineers.
The convenient part of talabat AI is that it only requires few steps for Talabat Pro customers using the English version of the app to get started. Customers using the Arabic version can switch the language of their app to English in the app’s settings. After getting in the request via the chat, talabat AI provides you with the list of available ingredients in the nearest talabat Mart store to help you obtain the recipe.
Talabat Pro subscribers and customers are aware when they sign up for a free 14 day trial, that they can access talabat AI through the talabat app which is available on the App Store, Google Play Store and Huawei App Gallery. Talabat is continuously striving to use new technologies and development to improve user-experience and ensure their customers have the best possible shopping experience.
