Comcast updated its terms of service on July 2, 2026 to prohibit the deployment of AI Agents to access, use, interact with, or take action on its services without express permission. The updated language defines AI Agents as software or services that take autonomous, semi-autonomous, or programmatic action on behalf of or at the instruction of a user or other person, with examples including obtaining information, making requests, monitoring, copying, downloading, scraping, or data mining the services. This creates a new contractual restriction on automated interactions with Comcast services.
Consumers and businesses deploying automation tools: If you use automated tools, bots, or software to interact with Comcast services, you need Comcast's written approval first.
The updated terms now explicitly prohibit the deployment of AI Agents to access, use, interact with, or take action on Comcast services unless Comcast expressly grants permission. This includes automated activities such as obtaining information, making requests, monitoring activity, copying, downloading, scraping, or data mining the services. The agreement also prohibits AI Agents from accepting terms on a user's behalf or engaging in support or sales interactions. Users who currently use automation tools or third-party integrations with Comcast services may need to seek express permission from Comcast or discontinue such automated access.
→ Review current automation tools, bots, or integrations that interact with Comcast services to determine if they constitute AI Agent deployments under the definition.
