Serve Robotics is launching a developer portal that lets third-party developers, businesses and AI agents request deliveries from its fleet of 2,000 sidewalk robots, The Verge reports. Access covers the 150 neighborhoods where Serve operates and lets merchants dispatch deliveries without going through major food delivery apps.

Developers provide pickup and dropoff coordinates; Serve handles routing, obstacle avoidance and remote supervision. Customers can pay per delivery or reserve robots hourly. Serve employees must manually approve access to prevent hazardous deployments or illicit cargo, and liability for stolen or damaged goods depends on individual partnership pricing and insurance.
