Perplexity has released its Comet browser on Android, positioning it as an AI‑native mobile web experience. The app blends voice chat, instant summarization and built‑in AI assistance directly into the browsing workflow, making it one of the first browsers designed as a mobile AI co‑pilot. While it mirrors many desktop capabilities, the Android version currently lacks features such as history and bookmark syncing. The voice interface is highlighted as a key draw, and the browser includes ad‑blocking and on‑the‑fly content analysis. Early impressions note a conversational feel but also occasional speed lags.

Amazon has sent a cease‑and‑desist letter to Perplexity, demanding that its AI‑powered shopping assistant, Comet, be removed from the Amazon marketplace. The e‑commerce giant warned that the bot violates its terms of service by failing to identify itself as an agent. Perplexity responded with a blog post defending its approach, arguing that the bot operates under human direction and therefore should inherit the same permissions as the user. Amazon countered that other third‑party agents openly identify themselves and that Perplexity could simply comply. The dispute revives earlier controversy over Perplexity’s web‑scraping practices and raises broader questions about the future of agentic AI on commercial platforms. Leia mais →

Both OpenAI and Perplexity have introduced mitigations like logged‑out modes and real‑time detection, yet experts stress that the threat remains unresolved. Users are advised to limit agent permissions and adopt strong authentication to safeguard personal information. Leia mais →
