The Perplexity Shopping Agent (launched as Buy with Pro, later called Instant Buy) is a shopping feature within Perplexity search that lets US users buy products directly through Perplexity. According to the Perplexity Help Center, orders are sent directly to the merchant for fulfillment; the feature is available on web, desktop and mobile apps. The Comet browser agent is discussed separately in the Amazon litigation.
