🍭 Perplexity Caught in 4K 🙈

Good morning. Cobi tried using AI to “optimize his aura.”

Now he only speaks in Product Hunt
launch metrics and insists his chakras are “still in beta.”

Let’s dig in.

🍭 What’s Cookin’:

• AI Agents in Finance: Part 3/3

• Perplexity scraping where they shouldn’t?

• 5 brand new AI tools

• Everything Else: OpenAI, Anthropic, Apple, and the Philippines

Whether You’re a Trader or Not
💸 The Future is Financial AI Agents

→ Find part 2 here ←

The Bite: Daniele’s long-term bet is simple:

Everyone will have a financial agent.
Some will be built into wallets.
Some into exchanges.

And the best ones?
They’ll look more like Hey Anon.

“You don’t have to know crypto. You just type what you want. The agent does the rest.”

And that’s the real kicker.

Hey Anon isn’t a DeFi product.

It’s a vision of what happens when AI goes beyond GPT wrappers and starts taking high-stakes actions in the open world.

And you?
Not willing to give an agent all that control?

Good news for you;

Daniele and the team at HeyAnon, just rolled out HUD:

Perplexity
🔎 Scraping Sites that Explicitly Blocked AI Scraping

The Bite: AI startup Perplexity just got caught red-handed for allegedly crawling and scraping millions of web pages daily, completely ignoring clear signals to stop.

Cloudflare is calling them out publicly, saying Perplexity went full incognito mode to scrape data from websites actively trying to block it.


Snacks: 

• Caught in 4K: Cloudflare says Perplexity disguised its bots as Google Chrome browsers and shuffled through multiple IP networks to dodge site restrictions.

• Millions of Scrapes: Observed scraping across tens of thousands of domains, racking up millions of stealthy visits daily.

• Deflection Dance: Perplexity spokesperson dismissed the whole thing as a "sales pitch," even claiming the named bot "isn't ours."

• Repeat Offender: Last year, Perplexity faced accusations of plagiarism from outlets like Wired and stumbled publicly trying to define "plagiarism" at TechCrunch Disrupt.

Why it bites: Everyone’s out here trying to monetize their digital turf, and along comes Perplexity ninja-scraping the place in disguise.

As mentioned above, Cloudflare isn’t having it.

And neither are site owners who want control over their content.

If Perplexity's entire playbook relies on dodging rules, they might find their welcome mat revoked internet-wide.

At this point, Perplexity’s brand identity is looking less like “AI innovator” and more like “AI pirate.”

Can we at least get access to their new browser, Comet, before they get in trouble?
