## Key takeaways

- Perplexity launched Teammates on November 5 for Max subscribers on the web.
- Each teammate keeps one persistent thread, runs its own desktop and browser, and can message coworkers in Slack.
- Usage is free during a promotional period, then draws on Max credits; Perplexity lists no separate price.

Perplexity launched Teammates on November 5, a set of always-on AI agents that take on ongoing jobs and work without being prompted. Perplexity Teammates are available now on the web, but only to subscribers of the $200-a-month Max plan, according to [Perplexity's Teammates page](https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/products/teammate).

Each teammate keeps a single persistent thread and remembers earlier work. That is the difference from a normal chat or a one-off agent task: you hand a teammate something like an ad campaign, a coding job or on-call monitoring, and it keeps going and tells you when it needs a decision.

## What a teammate can do

Perplexity says teammates are built on Perplexity Computer, its agent system, and add three things: coordination between several agents, full use of a desktop and browser, and ongoing monitoring.

- Teammates can work with other teammates and follow up with coworkers in Slack.
- They use the skills and plugins you already have installed, with the same permissions.
- Each one has its own browsing sessions and local cookies.
- Perplexity says they run on the same security and privacy infrastructure as Computer. The page gives no more detail than that.

## Price and availability

Teammates need a Max subscription. During a promotional period, every Max plan includes free teammate usage. After that, teammates draw on the credits that come with Max. Perplexity lists no separate price and no usage limit beyond that monthly credit allowance, so the real cost of running several agents all day is unknown for now.

The page says mobile is coming soon. It is inconsistent about which platforms, naming iOS and Android in one place and "desktop and mobile" in another.

## Why it matters

Always-on agents are the current fight among the chat assistants. Plans, credits and permissions are what will decide whether people leave them running. Perplexity is putting its version behind its top tier first, which keeps the audience small while it learns how much compute a teammate burns. For comparison, see our page on [Perplexity Pro and its plans](https://claudegpt.si/news/perplexity-pro-price-plans).

What to watch: the price once the promotion ends, and whether Perplexity publishes limits on how many teammates one account can run.
