Amazon Blocks Perplexity's AI Purchases on Its Platform

A federal judge recently issued an order prohibiting Perplexity's artificial intelligence agents from placing orders on Amazon on behalf of users. This decision, reported by Bloomberg, was made by U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney, who emphasized that Amazon had provided compelling evidence demonstrating that Perplexity's Comet browser accessed user accounts without the e-commerce giant's permission.

In November, Amazon filed a lawsuit against Perplexity, alleging that the startup had repeatedly ignored its requests to stop purchases made by its agents for customers. Amazon accused Perplexity of intruding into its marketplace and user accounts, exploiting Comet's agent-based purchasing feature to illegally access its services.
