Perplexity launches proactive agents called teammates

At 01:05 on 2026-11-06, Perplexity announced teammates through its X account. Perplexity described teammates as agents that take on jobs for you, working proactively with the tasks, skills, memory, and tools already stored in Computer. They can collaborate with other teammates and message coworkers in Slack. The feature was said to be available immediately for Max subscribers on the web.

A second post from the same account explained how teammates operate. Each one starts from the Projects, skills, and memory a user already has in Computer, keeps monitoring ongoing work, and acts on its own when something changes, without needing to be prompted. Perplexity added that teammates remember past work and apply feedback to future tasks.

A third post covered safety and oversight. Perplexity stated that each teammate runs in its own isolated environment and follows the tool and Project permissions already set in Computer. A user can review what it has done, take over the desktop, or redirect it while it is working. As of the posts reviewed here, the material covers the launch and the feature's intended behavior, with no details yet on later rollout steps or changes.
