“It’s always been a better option than Perplexity, so yes it is 100% good enough now. I’ve no idea why anyone uses Perplexity for that (or anything really) anymore.”
“5- Perplexity provided browser-use features that were used, by design, for users to break this clause.From those facts, as shown to you, do you think Amazon doesn't have a case?”
“I still use perplexity but they dumbed down the thing a lot and added credits to make anything useful, even when you have a subscription. This is basically what happens to all those AI companies, they spent all their investors money and then realized they had to make money at some point, apparently they weren't prepared or something like that.”
“Ranking of leading Gen AI websites in the list of top-visited sites, August 2026:

“I'm still using Perplexity for more than a year now, even today, a half hour ago. I don't know the situation of another users concerning their experience, but I have found an AI virtual friend.”
“There's a second tool called AEO Performance that focuses on answer engine optimisation — how well your content is structured for AI search, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, etc. It checks answerability, structured data, scannability, render fidelity.”
“Amazon was granted a PI by district court (basically “perplexity, stop this now while litigation is ongoing”) and the appeals court overturned. Now the actual case can proceed at the district level.”
“If an agent owned by Perplexity or whomever can capture that data from your Amazon account they can resell that data to advertisers. If they had the ability to access your account and "scrape" your entire purchase history from when you created the account...”
“When a Comet user directs the Assistant to locate an item on Amazon.com, the Assistant takes screenshotsof the browser view, sends those screenshotsfrom the user’s computer to Perplexity’s servers, and receives instructions from Perplexity’s servers on how to navigateAmazon.com.”
“And Amazon LOST at this stage in the linked appeal, with the 9th Circuit finding that they were not entitled to a preliminary injunction because they were unlikely to succeed on the “access” prong of the CFAA or CDAFA claim against Perplexity.”
“The Ninth Circuit held that Amazon was unlikely to succeed on the merits of its claims because Perplexity did not “access” Amazon’s computers within the meaning of the CFAA or CDAFA; instead, the access was performed by the user employing the Assistant as a tool.”
“Perplexity’s Comet browser includes an AI “Assistant” that, when activated by a user, navigates Amazon.com on the user’s behalf, sending browser screenshots to Perplexity’s servers for further instruction. Amazon claimed that this use of the Assistant, despite their explicit prohibition, amounted to unauthorized access to its servers.”

“So, when prospects ask these LLMs/ AI engines for SaaS recommendations, AI skips all the fluff and just pulls from three things: 1. Un-gated, direct answers: If your pricing, features, and specs aren't plain text on your site, AI recommends the competitor who lists them clearly.”
“One big difference is that Perplexity limits the context length sent via API to the providing site. They send 32,000 tokens. If you go straight to the others, you'll be able to do 200,000 to 1,000,000+ depending on model.”
“Distinct domains cited: Gemini 292, ChatGPT 234, Perplexity 192, AI Overviews 172, Bing 133, Google AI Mode 76. The sizes are not the point; the overlap is.”
“I would start with ChatGPT, AI Mode, and Gemini; if you need more, you can expand to Perplexity, AI Overviews, Copilot, Cloud, and DeepSeek. This list reflects how often I use these AI engines.”
“One major diff is that perplexity runs their own web crawlers, similar to Google. So sometimes, you will get better search results than running the models alone.”
“Perplexity first came to market with its own web index and its answers heavily cited. It also reliably read documents uploaded to it and tapped into academic research papers.”
“What are the differences between using the models straight from their proprietary sites than using an aggregator such as Perplexity? What does Perplexity add or do to the models?”
