01perplexity teammates: overview
What happened
On November 5 (US time) Perplexity launched Teammates, always-on agents for work. Each Teammate can take a different role in a workspace and work in parallel, drawing on the projects, skills and memory users already have in Perplexity. It builds on Perplexity Computer, which deploys agents on the user's device, to handle ongoing, large-scale work. Progress is tracked in a separate thread per Teammate in the Perplexity app, and Teammates can also be used in Slack. The feature requires the $200-a-month Max plan.
Why it matters
OpenAI and Anthropic already offer similar multi-agent work products, and Perplexity's entry makes always-on, multi-role agents connected to team chat tools a shared direction among major AI companies. Perplexity's CEO says every organisation may eventually have hundreds of teammates per person. The price bar is high, and enterprises still need to assess real-world results, permissions and data-access boundaries.
Who it affects
Knowledge workers and team leads, Perplexity Max subscribers, and IT teams evaluating enterprise agent platforms.
