Our latest development concept, the Food Delivery Copilot, is designed to transform how you order and enjoy meals. Imagine a system where your food cravings are effortlessly satisfied with minimal input from you. Whether you're seeking new culinary experiences or balancing a hectic schedule, our Copilot is here to assist.

The Food Delivery Copilot is crafted to handle all aspects of food delivery, including dietary restrictions, allergens, and personal preferences, allowing you to focus on what truly matters. From exploring new cuisines to managing tight schedules, the Copilot adapts to your lifestyle and specific food requirements.

Discover New Culinary Adventures

One of the standout features of our Food Delivery Copilot is its ability to help you discover new culinary delights without the hassle of endless searching. Imagine wanting to try something new, like Thai cuisine. Instead of spending valuable time browsing through numerous menus, you simply tell our Copilot your preference. The Copilot takes over, exploring various options, comparing reviews, and selecting a meal that matches your taste and dietary needs. It checks reviews on Google Maps, delivery service ratings, dish descriptions, and ensures the absence of allergens. It places the order on your behalf, ensuring that your culinary adventure begins with minimal effort on your part.

Case Example: Exploring Thai Cuisine

You want to try Thai food but aren't sure where to start. You tell the Copilot about your interest. The Copilot reviews various Thai restaurants around you, compares customer reviews on Google Maps and delivery services, checks dish descriptions, and verifies the general understanding of the dish. It also checks for allergens and makes necessary comments. It selects a highly-rated dish and places the order. You receive a delicious meal, perfectly matched to your taste and dietary needs, without any hassle.

Efficient Meal Planning for Busy Schedules

Balancing a demanding work schedule with the need to eat well can be challenging. Imagine having a meeting that runs until 1 PM, leaving you with only a short break until 1:45 PM to grab a bite. You can rely on our Copilot to handle this seamlessly. Simply inform the Copilot of your available window, and it will coordinate everything. The Copilot reaches out to restaurants, verifies that delivery can be made within your specified time frame, and sends precise instructions to the courier to ensure your meal arrives exactly when you need it. Additionally, the Copilot communicates with the delivery person, requesting them to wait if necessary and avoiding any disruption by calling you during your meeting.

Case Example: Lunch Between Meetings

You have a brief 45-minute window between meetings. You inform the Copilot about your available time. The Copilot coordinates with a local deli, ensures the meal is prepared and delivered within the window, and instructs the courier not to call you but to wait if necessary. Your lunch arrives right on time, allowing you to stay focused on your work.

Case Example: Special Dinner Planning

You are planning a special dinner at home and want everything to be perfect. You inform the Copilot about the occasion, your preferences, and any special requirements, including allergens. The Copilot finds a selection of dishes from top-rated restaurants, coordinates the delivery time, and ensures everything arrives fresh and on time. Your special dinner is a success, with minimal effort on your part.

You tell the Copilot your dietary restrictions, allergens, and budget. The Copilot searches for keto-friendly options within your price range, places the order, and ensures the meal meets your dietary needs. You receive a nutritious and budget-friendly meal, perfectly aligned with your keto diet.

How It Works

The Food Delivery Copilot leverages advanced AI technology to provide a seamless and personalized food ordering experience. Here's an in-depth look at how it functions:

Tell the Copilot Your Preferences: Start by informing the Copilot of your specific preferences. Whether you're craving a particular cuisine, have dietary restrictions, need to avoid certain allergens, or require a meal within a specific timeframe, simply provide the Copilot with these details.
Copilot Takes Over: The Copilot utilizes a Large Language Model (LLM) to understand and process your requests. It interacts with various APIs from delivery service providers, mapping services, and other necessary tools to gather all relevant information. This includes:
- Delivery Service APIs: The Copilot accesses APIs from popular food delivery services to explore available options, check delivery times, and place orders.
- Mapping Services: Using APIs from mapping services like Google Maps, the Copilot identifies restaurants nearby, checks their ratings and reviews, and ensures they meet your criteria.
- Tools and Plugins: Leveraging the capabilities of the LLM, the Copilot uses tools and plugins to check dish descriptions, identify potential allergens, and ensure dietary compliance. The Semantic Kernel, developed by Microsoft, is utilized to manage these functionalities effectively.
Processing with AIBase: The entire process is powered by AIBase, our robust platform designed for running intelligent agents. Within AIBase, numerous specialized agents communicate and collaborate to fulfill your request efficiently. These agents handle various tasks such as:
- Review Analysis: Agents analyze customer reviews from multiple platforms to select the best-rated restaurants and dishes.
- Allergen and Dietary Check: Agents cross-reference dish ingredients with your dietary restrictions and allergen requirements.
- Logistics Coordination: Agents coordinate with delivery services to ensure your meal arrives at the right time and location.
Function Calling and Task Execution: The Copilot uses function calling to execute specific tasks, such as placing the order, sending instructions to couriers, and updating you on the order status. This ensures each step of the process is handled accurately and promptly.
Enjoy Your Meal: Once the order is placed, the Copilot continues to monitor the delivery process. It ensures that your meal arrives on time, with no need for you to follow up or manage the details. If any issues arise, such as a delay or a change in delivery status, the Copilot communicates with the necessary agents to resolve them.
Continuous Improvement: The Copilot learns from each interaction. By analyzing your feedback and order history, it continually improves its recommendations and efficiency, providing an even better experience over time.

The integration of LLM, API providers, tools, and a network of communicating agents within the AIBase environment makes the Food Delivery Copilot a powerful and reliable assistant for all your food ordering needs. It’s designed to handle complex requirements with ease, ensuring you get the perfect meal every time.
