Perplexity Launches Teammates: AI Agents Designed for Workplace Task Execution

Perplexity has launched Teammates, a suite of AI agents built for workplace productivity tasks including research, drafting, scheduling coordination, and information retrieval across connected work tools. Unlike Perplexity's core search product, Teammates is designed to take autonomous action across integrated SaaS applications, positioning it as a direct competitor to agent platforms from OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google in the enterprise productivity space. The product targets teams that want AI agents embedded in their existing workflows without building custom tooling from scratch. For developers evaluating agent platforms, Teammates represents a new entrant with Perplexity's search-grounded retrieval as a differentiator, potentially giving agents more accurate real-world context than pure LLM-based competitors. Early access details and integration support are available through Perplexity's enterprise channel.
