Perplexity launches its own take on AI agents for work

Perplexity has launched its own work-focused AI agents, called Teammates, which can perform multiple tasks simultaneously and integrate with its Perplexity Computer AI system. Teammates can be assigned different jobs and can work 24/7, similar to OpenAI's Dots and Claude Duet. However, Perplexity's offering requires a $200/month Max plan subscription, making it more expensive than OpenAI's alternatives. Users can monitor Teammates' progress through the Perplexity app and interact with them in Slack. Perplexity's CEO envisions a future where every organization has hundreds of Teammates working for each person.
