A U.S. appeals court has overturned a previous ruling and allowed Perplexity to use its AI shopping tools on Amazon’s platform.
This is the first federal appellate decision on how AI agents may access and operate on major online marketplaces.
The ruling affects Amazon.com’s control over third party tools on its marketplace and may influence future platform policies.
Amazon.com, listed as NasdaqGS:AMZN, now faces a new legal backdrop for how AI driven services plug into its marketplace. The stock last closed at $277.42, with returns of 20.2% over the past week and 22.5% year to date. Over the past 3 years, the share price is up 98.2%, and 29.8% over the past year.
For investors, the ruling raises practical questions about platform security, data access and how third party AI agents might shape the shopping experience on Amazon.com. The decision could influence how Amazon sets rules for external tools and how it weighs legal risk against potential benefits for customers and sellers.
