In partnership with [Nuance Communications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuance-glasses), Domino's is testing a new voice ordering platform on Android and iOS apps. The platform features a human-like virtual assistant that will be able to take your order in a natural, conversational way. The feature is currently in beta mode, but a download of either the latest Android or [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-carplay-1) update should bring up this feature. Since customer service can be pretty touch and go when technology takes the place of a human, it should be interesting to see how the new voice ordering app holds up to other ways of ordering pizza. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Voice-activated Ordering:** The introduction of a human-like virtual assistant for voice ordering provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to enhance customer convenience and streamline the ordering process. - **Conversational User Interface:** The integration of a natural and conversational way for customers to place orders through a virtual assistant opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the user interface design space, enabling more intuitive and efficient interactions. - **Artificial Intelligence in Customer Service:** The use of AI-powered virtual assistants to handle customer interactions presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses to automate and personalize their customer service processes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Delivery:** The implementation of voice-activated ordering in the pizza delivery industry creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to differentiate themselves by offering a more seamless and futuristic ordering experience. - **Mobile Applications:** The integration of conversational user interfaces in mobile apps presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for app developers to enhance user engagement and convenience. - **Artificial Intelligence:** The adoption of AI-driven customer service solutions offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies across various industries to automate and optimize their customer support operations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [CarPlay-Enabled Pizza Orders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-carplay-1.md) - [AI-Powered Ordering Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doordash-4.md) - [Telekinetic Pizza-Ordering Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-ordering-app.md) - [AI-Driven Pizza Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominos-and-microsoft.md) - [AI-Powered Pizza Orders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-pie.md) - [AI-Powered Takeout Voice Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-eat-ai-voice-assistant.md) - [AI-Based Ordering Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beef-o-bradys.md) - [AI Restaurant Ordering Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conversenow.md) - [No-Address Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinpoint-delivery.md)
