AI Integration for User Experience and Operational Efficiency
DoorDash's engineering team is actively exploring large AI models to enhance search, recommendation systems, and personalization, aiming to improve user experience.

AI is also being used to automate repetitive physical activities like inventory management and menu creation, increasing quality and fidelity.
Large language models are improving internal productivity, especially in coding, and are expected to be adopted across various functions to build a more efficient organization.
DoorDash's early recognition of AI's potential, similar to cloud computing's impact in 2013, positions it to leverage AI for both customer engagement and operational cost savings.
Impact of DSP Platform Change and Traffic Optimization Efforts
In July, PubMatic experienced a notable drop in spend from a top DSP due to platform valuation changes, which stabilized in August.
The company is actively working to reimplement SPO settings on the affected DSP's new platform, a process expected to take several months.
Management emphasized that traffic shaping and optimization are ongoing efforts to align with the new valuation parameters of the DSP.
Despite the headwind, PubMatic is diversifying its DSP relationships, with spend outside the top 5 growing over 30% year-over-year in July.
The company believes that the platform change was driven by client shifts to different platforms, not by auction dynamics or bid acceptance issues.
PubMatic's approach involves iterative testing and traffic shaping to recover and optimize traffic to the impacted DSP, with a focus on long-term diversification.
