Grab has unveiled a new lineup of innovative new services designed “For Every You” during its inaugural GrabX showcase.

With the understanding that Grab app users are multifaceted and puts on different hats throughout the day, Grab’s landmark rollout of its latest products and features marks a shift in a way it intends to serve users’ everyday needs.

The new services include Grab For Family | Teens, GrabFood for One, Shared Saver, as well as Advanced Booking, Dine Out Discovery, and Grab Travel Pass.

The app has also launched a new Grab Early Access Programme, giving users the chance to try out these new services as soon as possible.

Here’s a quick rundown of each new app product:

Grab For Family | Teens

Grab For Family | Teens is a safe and reliable way for teenagers aged 13 to 17 to travel independently while giving parents and caregivers peace of mind. It will launch in May.

Grab will link a teenager’s account with a Grab for Family account, so the former can book rides on their own. Alternatively, the parent or guardian can also book on their behalf.

Extra safety features include prioritized assignment to top-rated partner drivers, ride PIN verification, and always-on AudioProtect. Soon, AudioProtect will also harness GenAI to detect in real-time if there is anything dangerous happening inside a vehicle.

Gatherings made seamless using LLM

Grab has also introduced a number of improvements behind-the-scenes to make sure large orders arrive reliably. That’s specially for special occasions like Ramadan, Chinese New Year, Tết and Christmas.

Grab bared that it uses a tailored Large Language Model (LLM) to determine if GrabFood orders coming in are considered a large order. This is done across 175 million food variations across the Grab platform.

If the algorithm determines an order is too bulky or heavy for one delivery person, the app will assign a four-wheeler instead. If there isn’t one, the order can be split to two motorbike delivery riders. Then, they’ll be dispatched in a way that both halves of the order arrive at a similar time.

This solution is now live across Southeast Asia and is continuously improving.

GrabFood for One

Meanwhile, ordering alone using Grab has been made more accessible and simpler. Grab now offers affordable meals with no minimum spend and a fixed low delivery fee.

The app works with merchant partners to curate and design a diverse list of meal options which customers can order through a quick checkout experience.

This service is now live in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Shared Saver

Moreover, Shared Saver allows users to order food as if they’re in a Group Order, but with strangers.

The way this goes is Grab’s AI detects when there are multiple orders in the vicinity from the same merchant. Grab will then automatically decide to start a Shared Saver order.

Alternatively, a user can also initiate a Shared Saver order to save on fees. There’s a countdown timer to tell users how soon they need to make a decision.

Shared Saver will be piloted in Singapore this month, before Grab rolls out the service in other cities by June.

Advance Booking (Airport Pickup) expands

Furthermore, Grab has expanded its Advanced Booking (Airport Pickup) service to more locations. It was rolled out for Metro Manila airports last year initially. Now, more Grab users can benefit from its services.

The service offers passengers to book in advance for trips to the airport as early as a week ahead. Grab will assign the booking to its GrabAirport fleet.

Passengers can also adjust the booking as late as two hours prior to the original schedule. They can also communicate with the assigned driver 45 minutes in advance.

Advance Booking is now available at the following airports:

• I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (Bali)
• Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (Jakarta)
• Yogyakarta International Airport
• Juanda International Airport (Surabaya)
• Kuala Lumpur International Airport 1
• Phuket International Airport
• Seletar Airport (Singapore)

More cities will benefit from the service in the coming months.

Dine Out Discovery (Powered by GrabMaps)

Grab is also leveraging its maps and food database by introducing Dine Out Discovery. This gives users an easy and intuitive way to look for dining options and deals around them.

Simply search and filter by cuisine, food preferences, ratings, price, and even walkable distance. Tap on restaurants to see details like menu, opening hours, photos, and user reviews. Finally, use the map to navigate to the restaurant, or even book a ride.

Dine Out Discovery will be available across all markets by May. Reservations will also be launched in Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand by May.

Grab Travel Pass

Lastly, Grab Travel Pass will let tourists enjoy their getaways across the region. Users can purchase the Travel Pass in-app even before leaving their home country.

It includes various vouchers for airport rides, general transport, food delivery, and dining out. This way, users can enjoy traveling around Southeast Asia in a more affordable and convenient manner.
