A Perplexity Employee Runs Their Entire Workday on Just 3 AI Teammates
_andychung · x · 2026-11-10
A Perplexity team member shares their deliberately vanilla AI setup: just 3 agents cover everything. A chief of staff handles email/Slack triage, personal errands (calling to resolve bills, applying for his son's Canadian citizenship) and delegation; an eng teammate handles 90% of the actual product work; a PR pilot lands local PRs. The takeaway: you don't need a hyper-bespoke AI stack — a few well-scoped agents beat elaborate customization.
