Perplexity now has its own always-on AI agent

Perplexity launched Teammates, always-on AI agents that run on their own virtual machine with a desktop and browser and work through ongoing projects independently, unlike the one-off Perplexity Computer. Users track progress in dedicated threads in the Perplexity app and can interact with the agents via Slack. Teammates require the $200-per-month Max plan, joining similar offerings from SpaceX, Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic.
