That's exactly what Perplexity's new partnership with PayPal will do starting this summer in the US. Perplexity, an AI chatbot and search engine, and PayPal announced the partnership and what it will mean for shoppers on Wednesday.

Announcing a partnership with PayPal, Perplexity will now let users in the U.S. make purchases directly in the chatbot. This will include booking flights, buying products, and getting your hands on concert tickets without having to leave the Perplexity platform.

PayPal introduced a toolkit that lets developers embed shopping capabilities into AI agents built on frameworks from OpenAI, Vercel, LangChain, CrewAI, and Anthropic. Together, these integrations point to a future where AI agents manage the entire e-commerce journey on behalf of users.
