And I found an Azure service that I have never worked on. I used an AI with a web enabled front end (Ghatgpt) to write me a dotnet app to use said service.

I have not posted my experience.

Instead of ordering manually, customers can talk with the agent as they would with a human waiter or cashier.

So defeating one of the main advantages of ordering online.

What am I missing?

A usual order would be, go to RocoMama and order a meal or

Order online, RocoMama, third-party (Mr D), so now

Order online, RocoMama, third-party (Mr D), 4th-party (AI Agent)

I don't get it!

Don’t want to read the slop article. I successfully ordered with a prebuilt application.

Did the ai agent also cook his patty and drive the bike to deliver his order?
