Perplexity Enters AI Agent Market
Perplexity has introduced its own AI agent system called "Teammates," designed for work environments. This offering positions Perplexity alongside companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, which also provide similar AI agent functionalities.
Functionality and Integration
Teammates are described as always-on agents that can assume multiple roles within a workspace. They access existing projects, skills, and memory from other Perplexity tools. The system integrates with Perplexity Computer, an AI system that deploys agents on a device, but Teammates expand on this by enabling collaboration and handling ongoing, large-scale work. Users can assign different jobs to individual Teammates, which can then perform these tasks simultaneously.
Availability and Cost
Access to Perplexity's Teammates requires a subscription to the company's Max plan, which costs $200 per month. Users can monitor the progress of Teammates through individual threads within the Perplexity app and interact with them via Slack.
