Perplexity launches Teammates — always-on AI agents that own ongoing work
Perplexity has launched Teammates — persistent AI agents that take ownership of ongoing work instead of waiting for one prompt at a time. Each teammate gets its own role, its own desktop and browser, and works inside Perplexity Computer using your projects, skills, memory and connected tools.
What happened
- Perplexity has launched Teammates — persistent AI agents that take ownership of ongoing work instead of waiting for one prompt at a time.
- Each teammate gets its own role, its own desktop and browser, and works inside Perplexity Computer using projects, skills, memory and connected tools such as Slack, GitHub and Linear.
- It is a research preview for individual Max subscribers on the web only.
- Free and Pro users must upgrade to Max; Enterprise Pro/Max accounts are not included by default.
- Native mobile and desktop apps are coming.
- New teammates use Claude Opus 5.5 by default, and Max includes a monthly credit allocation the teammates draw on. Max is reported at $200/month by The Verge.
What it means
- The free tier gains nothing here — Teammates is Max-only, so the Perplexity card’s free tier wording does not change.
- If the card ever mentions it, it belongs on the Max row only, never as a free feature.
What we don’t know yet
- When the native mobile and desktop apps arrive.
- The exact monthly credit allocation for teammates — Perplexity has not published a figure.
