What this means for you

Nothing to act on yet. There is no price, no ship date, and no published detail on how much of a workspace the agents can reach or how permissions work — the parts that decide whether a team could actually deploy one.

Perplexity has released Teammates, always-on AI agents that work inside a shared workspace and can hold several roles at once. The agents inherit projects, skills and memory from the Perplexity tools a user already has, so a new teammate starts with existing context rather than a blank slate — that is the company's claim, and it has not been independently tested. Teammates plug into Perplexity Computer, described as software that deploys agents on the user's own device. The launch puts Perplexity against OpenAI and Anthropic in workplace agents. No price, availability date or evaluation was given.
