Perplexity Launches Always-On AI Agents Called Teammates
Perplexity is launching Teammates, AI agents that keep working on ongoing projects on their own virtual machines. The feature requires the Max plan, which costs 200 dollars a month. That is well above similar offers from OpenAI or Anthropic. The market for always-on agents is getting crowded.
