Like OpenAI’s Dots and Claude Duet, Perplexity’s Teammates can perform an array of tasks while running 24/7.

Perplexity is taking on OpenAI and Anthropic with its own work-focused AI agents. The startup’s new always-on “Teammates” can take on multiple roles within a workspace, while pulling existing projects, skills, and memory from the Perplexity tools you already use.

Teammates integrate with Perplexity Computer , an AI system that can deploy agents on your device to complete tasks. But Perplexity says Teammates “build on top” of Computer by offering the ability to collaborate and complete “ongoing, large-scale work.” You can assign each Teammate different jobs that they can perform simultaneously — much like OpenAI’s Dots and Claude Duet . Perplexity’s take on the feature is much more expensive, however, as it requires a subscription to its $200 / month Max plan.

Perplexity notes that you can keep tabs on Teammates’ progress through individual threads in the Perplexity app, as well as interact with them in Slack. “Over time, we envision every org having hundreds of teammates working for each person,” Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas says on X .
