Perplexity AI condemned Amazon’s cease-and-desist over its Comet AI browser, calling it “bullying” and a threat to user rights, after the tech giant demanded a ban on AI-powered shopping assistants.

Highlights:

  • Amazon’s legal threat marks its first direct action against an AI company.

  • Perplexity argues Amazon is blocking innovation to protect ads and upsells.

  • The startup says Comet acts as a true “user agent,” executing tasks with user permissions only.

  • CEO Aravind Srinivas calls agentic AI “the next evolution of user empowerment.”

  • Perplexity vows to defend user freedom, privacy, and the right to choose trusted AI assistants.

Why it matters:
The standoff signals a defining moment for agentic AI whether intelligent assistants will serve users or be constrained by corporate control.

Google Maps is rolling out AI-powered live lane guidance for cars with Google built-in—starting on Polestar 4 in the U.S. and Sweden using the car’s front camera to analyze lane markings and signs in real time, then delivering precise audio/visual merge cues inside Maps; wider support across more road types and automakers is coming soon.

Anthropic is enhancing its Model Context Protocol (MCP) with code execution, allowing AI agents to interact with connected tools more efficiently by writing and running code instead of direct tool calls reducing token usage, improving performance, and enabling scalable, privacy-preserving workflows across thousands of integrations.

OpenAI introduced a new Mid-Query Update capability for ChatGPT, letting users interrupt long-running GPT-5 Pro sessions to add new instructions or context without losing progress. The sidebar update button allows real-time refinements for deep research and collaborative workflows, marking a major step toward more adaptive, conversational AI though early users note minor glitches like auto-switching modes and missing progress bars.

Attention spans are shrinking. Get proven tips on how to adapt:

Mobile attention is collapsing.

In 2018, mobile ads held attention for 3.4 seconds on average.
Today, it’s just 2.2 seconds.

That’s a 35% drop in only 7 years. And a massive challenge for marketers.
