GoKawiilPerplexity launches 'Teammates' AI agents for Max subscribers
Perplexity has introduced 'teammates,' autonomous AI agents built on its Perplexity Computer platform that can handle ongoing, large-scale work with minimal supervision. Users can assign teammates specific roles, have them collaborate and recruit additional teammates as workloads grow, and each operates continuously, surfacing in the Computer sidebar and notifying users only when a decision is needed. The feature is currently limited to Perplexity Max subscribers on web and iOS, a tier priced at $200 a month or $2,000 a year.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By tying the feature to its priciest subscription tier, Perplexity appears to be targeting power users and businesses rather than casual users, positioning Computer as a serious productivity platform rather than just a search tool. The ability for agents to spawn and manage other agents suggests a push toward more autonomous, hierarchical AI workflows, which could raise questions about oversight and reliability as tasks scale. The high price point may also signal how Perplexity plans to monetize advanced agentic AI compared to rivals.
- Perplexity's new 'teammates' agents operate autonomously within its Computer platform, handling multi-step tasks with little oversight.
- Teammates can collaborate, manage each other, and recruit new agents as task volume increases.
- The feature is exclusive to Perplexity Max subscribers ($200/month or $2,000/year) on web and iOS.
