AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

During its busiest week last quarter, Uber said only four people booked a ride using an AI agent.

Companies building AI agents for consumer purchases should note that Uber's figure suggests current usage of such agents for ride booking is very low. Businesses weighing investment in agent-based ordering may want to see more adoption data before assuming strong demand. Watch for whether Uber or other ride-hailing firms publish further usage figures in later quarters.
