HOUSTON - Uber Eats has recently revealed updates to its app that are coming later this year or in 2024.

In addition to the AI assistant, Uber's app will introduce a new section called "Sales Aisle." This section is designed to assist shoppers in finding the best ways to save in their local area. With this new feature, users will be able to easily browse and discover deals and discounts.
