Amazon and Perplexity have kicked off the great AI web browser fight | The Verge

Amazon has requested that Perplexity stop its AI browser, Comet, from purchasing products on its site, accusing the AI startup of providing a degraded shopping experience. Perplexity, in turn, has accused Amazon of bullying and stated that the e-commerce giant is more interested in serving ads and sponsored results than facilitating easier shopping, despite Amazon’s CEO expecting future partnerships with AI shopping agents.
