Why it matters
Perplexity is positioning Teammates less as a new model and more as a layer on top of Perplexity Computer, where setup for ongoing work previously needed planning in advance.
Key Facts
- Perplexity announced Teammates on November 4, 2026.
- Teammates is an AI agent for complex, ongoing work and runs within Perplexity Computer.
- Teammates can use Perplexity Computer's projects, skills, and memory and follows its access permissions.
- AI agents in Teammates can request work from each other in Slack channels and hand off tasks.
- Teammates will first be offered as a web version for Perplexity Max subscribers.
Teammates runs inside Perplexity Computer, using the user's tools and files, and can plan projects, switch approach when priorities change, and hand work to other agents. It will first be offered as a web version to Perplexity Max subscribers.
Teammates is built on Perplexity Computer, the agent platform Perplexity already runs, and it uses that platform's projects, skills, and memory. It also follows the tool and project access permissions configured there, though each agent keeps a separate work environment and its own browser session.
Behaviorally, the pitch is about not waiting for instructions. Teammates can monitor work in progress and start investigating when circumstances change, and agents can request work from one another in Slack channels or pass findings along, such as one agent locating a website bug and another producing a fix. The first release is a web version for Perplexity Max subscribers.
