Nov 5, 2026 · Summarized by Fundy Tech from 6 sources
The 30-second version
Perplexity introduced Teammates, always-on AI agents that can do multiple work tasks at once. The feature works with Perplexity Computer and requires the $200-a-month Max plan.
Key points
- Teammates can run 24/7 across multiple roles.
- They integrate with Perplexity Computer.
- Users can track progress in app threads and Slack.
- The feature is aimed at work-focused teams.
Why it matters
Small businesses may use AI agents to handle routine tasks, project work, or team support. That could save time, but it also raises cost and oversight questions. Households using AI tools at work should understand what data the system can access.
Who’s affected: Perplexity users and work teams
What to do
- Compare the cost against the work you need done.
- Limit what data your AI tools can access.
- Test any AI agent on low-risk tasks first.
