One of ChatGPT’s close competitors is Perplexity AI. To surpass ChatGPT regarding membership and usage, Perplexity AI launched a purchasing agent known as Agent Perplexity that would help online shoppers find products within seconds and place them in their cart to purchase them at a blazing fast speed. This idea backfired when it was put to the test.
The main idea was to make the shopping experience memorable by finding the best price of a particular product by scraping information from various online sites in the United States, such as Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart. Instead of making the shopping experience blazing quick, it was slow and faulty.

Amanda “When I first placed a product inquiry of my bathtub, I was hopeful that it would find the best price but instead, the Perplexity AI shopping model took 8 hours to find and order my product. If I had to waste 8 hours buying a single product, then why would I need software in the first place?
John “When I first subscribed to Perplexity AI, I was hopeful that I no longer needed to open various shopping websites and look at a particular product’s price difference. I thought the Perpexity AI would do it for me, but instead, it ordered the wrong product and charged me for it. Never gonna use it again.

What You Should Know
Please note that when you inquire about a product in Perplexity AI, it does not search all the websites to find you the best price. Instead, it’s programmed to find the product that is lower in price and then add it to your cart. This means it doesn’t check the seller’s credibility, users’ reviews, or quality.
End Note
From the above information, it is clear that Perplexity AI is faulty software that needs bug fixes so that it becomes one of the most used shopping agents of all time. However, based on the current tests, it has a long way to go. Furthermore, Perplexity competitors are ready to launch their shopping agents, too, and these are known as Microsoft co-pilot action and Google agent system.
