Major consumer platforms like Uber, DoorDash, and Airbnb report almost no usage of AI agents for booking or ordering services, with user resistance partly due to AI agents not providing clear efficiency or satisfaction benefits. Some companies and governments are restricting AI agent use amid security and practicality concerns.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

AI agents are not simplifying bookings or orders as promised, landing a jolt on founders building consumer AI assistants. You need to rethink relying on AI agents for user interaction when users prefer control and simplicity over automation.
