Perplexity has launched 'Teammates,' a new AI agent designed for workplace tasks, competing with offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic. These agents can operate continuously, managing multiple roles and integrating with existing Perplexity tools to enhance productivity. Users can assign various jobs to each Teammate, allowing for simultaneous task execution.
The Teammates feature is part of the Perplexity Computer system, which enables users to track progress and interact with agents via the Perplexity app and Slack. However, access to this service requires a subscription to the $200/month Max plan.
Watch how Perplexity's Teammates reshape team dynamics by enabling real-time collaboration and task management. As organizations adopt this tool, monitor user feedback on productivity gains and potential integration challenges with existing workflows.
