Olo launches app with in-store prices to challenge DoorDash, Uber Eats

U.S. restaurant ordering software company Olo has launched a food delivery app that offers the same menu prices as in stores. The company is positioning the service as an alternative to existing platforms, saying orders can be placed without menu markups. Olo said customers could save 15 to 30 percent, though it said savings are not guaranteed. Users pay a network fee of 5 percent of the order, and delivery fees may apply.

Still not sure: From finance to e-commerce, companies increasingly block external AI agents

As personal AI agents aimed at individual users spread, website operators are increasingly debating whether to allow them access. For now, more companies in sectors ranging from finance to consumer services are moving to block outside AI agents. Major U.S. banks have imposed restrictions, citing security concerns and the risk of deposit outflows. Some review, travel and e-commerce firms are also limiting agent activity, while others open access and accelerate development of their own agents.
