Perplexity teammates are a squad of AI agents whose job is to own your ongoing work. Instead of guiding and hand-holding AI, you can assign tasks to your teammate agents, and they will do the work in the background.
Whether you want to run a growth campaign, triage bug reports as they land, keep tabs on your metrics, or dig into a new market, just assign your Perplexity teammates the task and they will run with it.
They will plan the tasks, add more agents if required, and notify you when the work is done and they are ready with the report. Perplexity launched teammates on the web last week, and it has finally made its way to the Mac app.
Is Perplexity the first to launch such AI agents?
No, Perplexity is not the first AI company to launch AI agents that can take ownership of the work you assign them. Meta Muse and ChatGPT Dots do similar things. Grok Bot is another example of an AI agent that runs in the cloud and doesn’t need constant prompting to get things done.
All these agents run their own instance of cloud computing and keep working on the task even when you can close your computer. What separates agents like Perplexity teammates and ChatGPT Dots from your regular chat is that they can communicate with each other, created dedicated channels for tasks, and don’t require constant supervision.
Who gets access to Perplexity teammates?
Perplexity teammates feature is only available to users on its Max plan that costs $200/month, so it doesn’t’ come cheap. If you are on the more affordable subscription tiers, sadly, you will still have to handle AI tasks the old-fashioned way.
