Perplexity Launches 'Teammates' AI Agents for Enterprise Workflows
Perplexity has introduced 'Teammates,' a new suite of always-on AI agents designed to perform complex, large-scale tasks within professional workspaces. Building upon the Perplexity Computer system, these agents can be assigned specific roles and operate simultaneously to manage ongoing projects. Users can monitor progress through dedicated threads in the Perplexity app or via Slack integration. The launch positions Perplexity as a direct competitor to OpenAI’s 'Dots' and Anthropic’s 'Claude Duet.' However, access to this advanced agentic functionality is positioned at a premium price point, requiring a subscription to Perplexity's $200 per month Max plan. CEO Aravind Srinivas indicated that the long-term vision involves organizations utilizing hundreds of these digital teammates to augment human staff.
