Perplexity launched Teammates on November 5, rolling out persistent personal work agents to Max subscribers on the web, with native mobile and desktop apps to follow. CEO Aravind Srinivas framed it as a shift from writing single-turn prompts inside one chat session to assigning high-level, ongoing goals to dedicated digital coworkers.

Each Teammate works proactively in the background inside Perplexity Computer, combining task execution with persistent memory, reusable skills and external tool integrations. Multiple Teammates can collaborate across multi-step workflows, hand off deliverables and communicate with human coworkers inside Slack; Srinivas says roughly 10,000 already run inside Perplexity's own workspace.

Access is the catch: Teammates is a research preview for individual Max subscribers only — $200 a month, or $167 a month billed annually — with Enterprise accounts not included by default. Perplexity published no separate per-task caps beyond the Max plan's existing credit allowance.
