Perplexity launches AI agents for workplace collaboration
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 6 Nov, 10:08 · Archive
Perplexity is launching Teammates, always-on AI agents for workplace tasks, competing with OpenAI and Anthropic.
Perplexity has launched Teammates, always-on AI agents designed to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic's workplace AI offerings. The agents can take on multiple roles within a workspace whilst pulling from existing Perplexity projects, skills and memory. Each Teammate can be assigned different jobs to perform simultaneously, building on Perplexity's Computer system, which deploys agents on devices to complete tasks.
Teammates are available only to subscribers of Perplexity's $200 per month Max plan. Users can monitor each agent's progress through individual threads in the Perplexity app and interact with them via Slack. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said the company envisions 'every org having hundreds of teammates working for each person'.
