Amazon’s new AI agent will shop third-party sites for you

Amazon is starting to test a new AI shopping agent, a feature it calls “Buy for Me,” with a subset users, the company announced in a blog post Thursday.
If Amazon doesn’t sell something that users are searching for, the Buy for Me feature will display products to users that other websites are selling. Then, users can select and request to purchase one of these products without ever leaving the Amazon Shopping app.

I'm not really sure I like this idea. Amazon putting your payment details on the 3rd party site for you (all safe they say)

Despite this seamless experience, it’s critical to note that purchases made through this feature are not classified as transactions by Amazon. Consequently, the company's established policies regarding returns and terms of service do not apply to these third-party purchases, which could pose some challenges for consumers who may be unsatisfied with their purchase. It is unclear whether third-part stores can opt out of the feature, or whether Amazon takes a cut from these purchases.
