Summary
Perplexity unveiled “Teammates,” always-on AI agents for workplace use that can take multiple roles inside a shared workspace and run tasks simultaneously.
The agents draw on projects, skills and memory from Perplexity’s existing tools, and extend its Perplexity Computer system from device-level task execution to ongoing collaborative work.
A $200-a-month Max subscription is required to use Teammates, making Perplexity’s offering pricier than rival agent products such as OpenAI’s Dots and Anthropic’s Claude Duet.
Slack access and dedicated progress threads in the Perplexity app are meant to let users monitor and interact with each agent, as the company pushes deeper into enterprise AI workflows.
CEO Aravind Srinivas said he envisions organizations eventually having hundreds of AI teammates per employee, underscoring how aggressively Perplexity is targeting the fast-growing agent market.
