Is your life really busy? So busy that any time spent going through the motions of online shopping is time wasted? Then there's a good chance that you're already using an AI agent to do it for you. However, not everyone is happy with this way of shopping, so much so that Amazon is threatening legal action against an AI company for doing precisely this.
The focus of Amazon's ire is an agentic AI shopping tool built into a browser called Comet, made by Perplexity. Basically, you type in that you want to buy 10 tins of cat food on Amazon, and off it goes. Comet logs in with your details, finds the right products and orders kitty munchies for you.
