A U.S. appeals court has overturned a prior ruling that barred Perplexity from using its agentic shopping tools on Amazon’s platform. The decision restores the company’s ability to operate its AI shopping bot on Amazon, allowing the bot to resume browsing and purchasing items through the retailer’s site.
