Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas says he's tried competing agent products and Teammates is a notch above, citing three reasons: a harness that runs agent traces largely in code, model neutrality (no forced second-tier models), and the quality/accuracy of Perplexity's search. The quoted user credits the orchestrator's restraint with subagents.
