Perplexity launches Teammates AI agents on $200 Max plan
Teammates runs multiple AI agents in parallel and connects to Slack; access requires the $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription.
Perplexity unveiled Teammates, an AI agent product that splits up work tasks and carries them out around the clock, according to digitaltoday.co.kr. The product runs several agents at once inside a single workspace, with each agent assigned a different task in parallel.
Teammates is built on Perplexity Computer, the company's AI agent system. Each Teammate has its own conversation thread inside the Perplexity app, where users can check on the status of a task. Users can also work with the agents through the workplace messenger Slack.
Access is tied to the Perplexity Max plan, which is priced at $200 per month. The Verge reported that the price is relatively high compared with competing services.
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said on X that the company envisions a future in which every organization has hundreds of Teammates per member.

Perplexity Computer is a system that places AI agents on users' devices to process tasks. Teammates was developed by extending that system to support collaboration and long-running, large-scale work. Perplexity is entering a workplace AI agent market where OpenAI and Anthropic also compete.
