Perplexity Launches Teammates AI Agents

Perplexity announced Teammates, AI agents for ongoing work, on November 4, 2026. Running on its Perplexity Computer work platform, they plan tasks, monitor progress and divide work among multiple agents. The web research preview is available to subscribers of the individual Max plan.

Users can assign ongoing tasks such as market research, customer support and project management. Teammates remember project goals, work history and shared files, then track changes and respond without waiting for new instructions. They also apply user feedback to later work.

In a sales example, when a regular customer stops ordering, an assigned agent reviews order history and inquiries, then organizes possible causes, suitable offers and issues to resolve before making contact. It shares progress and requests approval when needed. For marketing, agents monitor advertising and competitors’ campaigns and draft adjustments if results decline. For work management, they can check what remains to be done when a deadline is 72 hours away.

Large goals can be split into tasks, with separate agents handling work that can proceed in parallel; users can gather and review the results and add agents as workloads grow. Teammates on the same project share files and instructions. When added to a Slack channel, they let human colleagues assign work and ask about progress. Each agent has an independent computer environment and browser, and operates according to the permissions of connected plugins and the project. Users can review work, change instructions midway or take over desktop operations.

Perplexity Computer already has Automations, which run tasks at set times or in response to events from connected services and carry forward details from past runs. Teammates builds on Computer’s projects, skills and memory to maintain roles and coordinate multiple tasks and agents. Perplexity positions it as a way to reduce the need to issue instructions for every run and keep work going until a person reviews the deliverable.

The initial release is for individual Max subscribers; Pro, Enterprise Pro and Enterprise Max are not included as standard plans. At launch, Teammates is available on the web, with an iOS version planned soon. Max costs $200 per month or $2,000 per year, and Teammates uses credits included with the plan. Parallel agents and frequent automated runs may use more credits. The product is in research preview and may change as development continues.
