Perplexity Launches Its Own Take on AI Agents for Work
The Verge, Thursday, November 5th, 2026
Perplexity launched Teammates, always-on AI agents for work that run multiple tasks at once and require its $200 per month Max plan.
Perplexity launched Teammates, always-on AI agents that can take on multiple roles in a workspace and run tasks simultaneously, competing with OpenAI's Dots and Claude Duet.
Teammates draw on existing projects, skills and memory from Perplexity tools and build on Perplexity Computer, which deploys agents on a user's device, to handle ongoing, large-scale work.
Users can track progress through individual threads in the Perplexity app and interact with Teammates in Slack.
The feature requires the $200 per month Max subscription, and CEO Aravind Srinivas said he envisions every organization having hundreds of teammates working for each person.
