What it is
Perplexity launched Teammates: personal agents built for ongoing work rather than one-shot prompts. They reuse Computer tools, skills, memory and plugins, and can hand work to other teammates.
Blog examples include a morning inbox and calendar brief, competitor monitoring with weekly summaries, and drafting support replies that pause for human approval before refunds. A teammate watches for changes and follows through until results are ready for review.
Access and controls
The research preview requires an individual Max plan ($200 per month). Enterprise Pro and Enterprise Max are not included by default; the help center says org access needs an admin. Platform at launch is the web, with mobile and desktop later.
Each teammate runs in its own environment with a separate browser session. Saved credentials are encrypted; you can take over the desktop or redirect a run mid-flight. Teammates can also join Slack channels. For Computer on Mac, see our earlier Perplexity Computer on Mac story.
Key takeaways
- Ongoing agents on top of Computer, with parallel tasking.
- Slack, isolated sandboxes and human review for sensitive steps.
- Individual Max on the web first; Enterprise needs admin access.
