Perplexity rolls out Teammates, agents that take on coworking roles

Today we are rolling out the latest form factor for work: Perplexity teammates. Agents have reached the point where they can start to be trusted with responsibilities at work. Teammates excel at automating tasks like deep research, data analysis, QA, triaging tickets, and reviewing code, which has saved each of us internally at Perplexity hundreds of hours of menial work. Leaving us the much more interesting work of setting vision, judging quality, and teaching restraint. Agents are now rising up beyond tools and task-based sessions to take on supporting and coworking roles. Teammates proactively reach out to you, other coworkers, and other teammates in the workspace. Teammates close the loop on their own work, finishing the job instead of requiring repeated steering or manual management of sessions. Available to Max users as a research preview today.
