User Complains Uber Eats Blocks Agent Orders: Why Prove I'm Human?
gabriel1 · x · 2026-08-26
A user on X shared an experience while ordering via an Agent on Uber Eats: the system triggered a "prove you are human" CAPTCHA checkbox.
The user expressed confusion and dissatisfaction, arguing that the platform shouldn't care whether the order is placed by a human or an Agent, as long as the payment is valid. This highlights the friction current autonomous Agents face when interacting with existing web infrastructure, specifically anti-bot and CAPTCHA systems.
