Perplexity launches Teammates, work-focused AI agents to rival OpenAI and Anthropic
The Verge AI · rss · 2026-11-06
Perplexity has launched Teammates, always-on AI agents designed for work, directly challenging OpenAI and Anthropic.
Key points:
- Multi-role collaboration: each Teammate can be assigned different jobs running simultaneously, similar to OpenAI's Dots and Claude Duet, handling ongoing, large-scale work.
- Context reuse: agents pull existing projects, skills, and memory from the Perplexity tools already in use.
- Built on Perplexity Computer: an AI system that deploys agents on your device to complete tasks; Teammates extend it with collaboration and long-running workflows.
