Teammates build on Perplexity Computer, a system that deploys agents on the user's device, and pull existing projects, skills and memory from the Perplexity tools a user already works with. The company says they "build on top" of Computer and are meant for collaboration and ongoing, large-scale work. Each can be assigned a different job, and they work simultaneously.
Each agent's progress appears in its own thread in the Perplexity app, and users can also interact with them in Slack. Teammates compete directly with OpenAI's Dots and Anthropic's Claude Duet, but cost more, since they are available only on the Max plan.
"Over time, we envision every org having hundreds of teammates working for each person," Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas wrote on X.
