Title: Perplexity's AI Search Engine Can Now Buy Products For You

Link: https://slashdot.org/story/24/11/19/0057238/p...

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Perplexity is rolling out
a new feature that will let Pro subscribers purchase a product without
leaving its AI search engine. When searching for a product using Perplexity,
Pro members based in the US can now choose a "Buy with Pro" button that will
automatically order the product using saved shipping and billing information.
Perplexity says all products purchased through Buy with Pro come with free
shipping. For products that don't support Buy with Pro, Perplexity will
redirect users to the merchant's website to complete their purchase. [...]
Users who aren't subscribed to Perplexity's $20 / month Pro option will still
see other updated AI shopping features, including new product cards that will
appear for product-related searches. For users in the US, these cards show a
product image and its price, along with AI-written summaries of key features
and reviews. Perplexity is also launching a new AI-powered "Snap to Shop"
search tool that will let all users take a picture of a product and ask
questions about it, similar to Google Lens. This feature will only be
available to Pro users at launch. Perplexity also already lets Pro users make
visual searches unrelated to shopping.
