    It makes total sense for Amazon to block agents. It sucks having to manually check multiple sites for prices and delivery of something you want so is easier just to use Amazon which is usually very good. If people start using agents Amazon is less likely to get the sale and are more vulnerable to competition. Better to kill this trend off asap.

      Should not stores make shopping with AI easier instead, as the number of ”customers” that are agents will increase and they will shop where they can?
