Perplexity launched Teammates, always-on AI agents that each run on a dedicated virtual machine with a desktop and browser, independently advancing ongoing projects while users track progress via app threads or Slack. The move puts Perplexity alongside SpaceX, Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic in the always-on agent race, with its annualized revenue topping $750 million as of August.

Perplexity now has its own always-on AI agent
[Manuel Uth](https://the-decoder.com/author/manuel-uth/) Nov 6, 2026 Perplexity now has its own AI agent that runs around the clock and handles work tasks on its own. While Perplexity Computer executes one-off assignments, the new Teammates stay active and work through ongoing projects independently. Each Teammate runs on its own virtual machine with a desktop and browser. Users track progress through dedicated threads in the Perplexity app and can interact with the agents via Slack.
Perplexity joins SpaceX, Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic, which already offer similar agents through Grok Bots, Muse, Dots, and Duet. Teammates require the Max plan at $200 per month. Dots start at $100, and Duet is available from $20. In practice, the cheaper options will likely hit their usage limits fast. Just days ago, high agent consumption forced SpaceX to impose stricter usage caps on Grok Bots. Perplexity's annualized revenue topped $750 million as of August.
