Perplexity Launches AI Colleagues Teammates, Reaching 10,000 Internally

AI search company Perplexity has officially launched Teammates, AI Agents that can take on specific tasks long-term like employees. CEO Aravind Srinivas revealed that the company has created approximately 10,000 AI Teammates in the last 30 days, which is 20 times the number of human employees. Teammates are built on the Perplexity Computer, allowing users to assign roles, goals, and permissions to the AI, which can continuously track work progress, proactively identify issues, and call upon tools to address them. Multiple Teammates can collaborate and communicate with human colleagues via Slack. For example, a sales Agent can detect that a customer has not placed an order for a long time, automatically investigate the reasons, and prepare a follow-up plan; a development Agent can hand over a website bug to another Agent to write the fix code. Each Agent has an independent working environment, retaining project memory and task history, allowing users to check progress, adjust direction, or take over operations at any time. Teammates are currently available in research preview to Max subscription users at $200 per month, initially supporting web access, with native mobile and desktop versions to follow.
