A federal judge temporarily blocked startup Perplexity from accessing Amazon
’s site with its Comet artificial intelligence browser, according to court filings.
Amazon sued Perplexity in November, alleging the startup took steps to “conceal” its AI agents so they could continue to scrape the online retailer’s website without its approval. Perplexity called the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California, a “bully tactic.”
Perplexity’s Comet allows shoppers to ask the assistant to find items on Amazon and make purchases.
