What changed
Perplexity announced Teammates in its 6 November changelog. Instead of receiving a fresh instruction for each step, a teammate can take on an ongoing assignment, organise the work and return results for review. The company says these agents can use tasks, skills, memory and tools.
Availability and limits
At announcement, Teammates were available to Max subscribers on the web. The same changelog also describes local Computer on Mac, but that is a separate feature. Readers should not assume that Teammates run entirely on their own device.
Practical takeaway — Falak83 analysis
Start with a small assignment using public information, such as a weekly competitor update. Specify the sources, deadline and expected output. Require human review before the agent publishes material, contacts customers or makes commitments.
Before connecting accounts
Check what each connected tool can read and change. Give the agent only the access its assignment needs, and verify important claims against original sources. Finishing a task automatically does not establish that its result is correct.
