DoorDash has transformed its customer support operations through a collaboration with Observe.AI and Amazon Web Services (AWS), achieving nearly 100% automated interaction evaluations across 19,000 agents. This initiative enables real-time hotspot detection, deeper sentiment visibility, and stronger quality consistency at scale. The partnership marks a significant milestone in DoorDash's broader AI strategy, positioning customer experience at the forefront of responsible AI adoption and operational innovation.

Moving From Checkbox QA to Customer Insight

As DoorDash expanded globally, traditional manual quality assurance (QA) processes based on limited sampling and binary scoring could no longer keep pace. The company sought a more scalable, diagnostic approach to uncover the true behavioral drivers behind customer pain points. Through the partnership, powered in part by AWS transcription and AI model infrastructure, DoorDash built a conversational intelligence platform capable of evaluating nearly 100% of customer interactions automatically.

"AI is incredibly important to DoorDash, especially in customer experience," said Xenia Strunnikova, Head of Customer Experience, Fraud, Trust & Safety S&O at DoorDash. "We didn't want automation for its own sake. We wanted to better understand what drives customer sentiment, move beyond binary scoring, and put the customer at the center of our decisions. This partnership enabled us to do that at scale."

From Days to Near Real-Time Hotspot Detection

Observe.AI's conversational intelligence signals, including sentiment, comprehension metrics, and behavioral indicators, enable DoorDash to infer satisfaction even when customers do not explicitly provide feedback. These signals have significantly accelerated issue detection. Emerging product friction points, such as DashPass concerns or new feature launches, that previously took days or weeks to uncover can now be surfaced in near real time.

"Listening to customers at scale is hard," said Joaquin Dufeu, Director of Strategy & Operations for Customer Experience & Integrity (CXI) with DoorDash. "With nearly 100% coverage, we can proactively identify hotspots we might never have seen before. What used to take days now happens almost immediately. That changes how we operate—and how quickly we can improve the experience."

Strengthening Responsible AI Adoption

The initiative reinforces DoorDash's commitment to responsible AI implementation. Rather than replacing human judgment, automation augments teams with objective signals and comprehensive visibility. This creates more consistent coaching, clearer partner alignment, and stronger accountability across BPO relationships. The companies describe the effort as co-creation, building and refining signals together in iterative cycles to ensure the platform reflects DoorDash's operational realities and customer priorities.

"This was never about deploying a tool," said Deepak Kumar, Observe.AI Chief Customer Officer (CCO). "It was about building a platform alongside DoorDash that enables automation, diagnostic insight, and real-time intelligence at enterprise scale. Together with AWS, we're helping power a customer-first AI transformation."

Key Outcomes of the Collaboration

The companies will continue to iterate on signals, expand real-time capabilities, and deepen their collaboration as part of DoorDash's ongoing AI investment strategy.
