## Perplexity enters the AI agents race
Perplexity is launching Teammates, always-on AI agents designed for workplace tasks. The startup competes directly with OpenAI's Dots and Anthropic's Claude Duet.
## What Teammates can do
Each Teammate takes on different jobs simultaneously within a workspace. They pull from existing Perplexity projects, skills and memory, and build on Perplexity Computer.
## The price tag
Teammates require a subscription to Perplexity's $200 per month Max plan, making it more expensive than competing AI agent offerings from other companies.
## Tracking and collaboration
Users monitor Teammates' progress through individual threads in the Perplexity app and can interact with them in Slack. CEO Aravind Srinivas envisions organisations having hundreds of teammates.

> Over time, we envision every org having hundreds of teammates working for each person.
## Key takeaway

Perplexity launched Teammates, always-on AI agents for workplace tasks that require a $200 per month subscription, competing with OpenAI and Anthropic's similar offerings.
