Perplexity launches "Teammates" AI agents for work, targeting enterprise users

Perplexity has launched "Teammates," a new service offering always-on AI agents designed for work tasks and enterprise users. The service is available to Perplexity Max subscribers at an additional cost of $167 per month. Perplexity claims that its internal agent achieved a 3.5x increase in ad revenue on 2.1x spend during a test, a figure reported by FourWeekMBA. While the launch of the service is widely reported across multiple outlets, the specific performance claims regarding ad revenue and spend originate directly from Perplexity. Some outlets frame this move as a competitive step against other AI companies, while others note broader market skepticism about AI payoffs.
