• The launch follows Amazon's recent move to block Meta's AI shopping agent, Muse, from accessing its marketplace, saying the tool appeared to access its online store without authorization and store customer credentials
• Amazon also won a court order blocking Perplexity's shopping agent, Comet, in March, though a US appeals court overturned the ban in August. The case remains ongoing
