Travis Kalanick envisions AI-driven meal services expansion

Travis Kalanick recently shared his vision for CloudKitchens at the Abundance Summit in Los Angeles. He aims to expand beyond ghost kitchens to deliver AI-optimized meals directly to customers, highlighting the challenges restaurants face on third-party delivery platforms. Kalanick compared CloudKitchens to past industry disruptions, emphasizing the need for independence from existing platforms. He introduced concepts like cooking-as-a-service and the role of AI in transforming food delivery and meal planning. Kalanick's ambitions align with those of Marc Lore, who is also pursuing AI-driven meal services through his company, Wonder. Both entrepreneurs have raised significant funding and are exploring ways to integrate AI into personalized meal planning.
