Perplexity launches Teammates, persistent AI agents priced at $200 a month
Reported by Digital Trends

Perplexity has introduced a product called Teammates. According to the report by Digital Trends, these are persistent AI agents that keep track of ongoing projects, learn from feedback, and carry on handling recurring work over time. The company positions them as a way to take tasks off a user's plate rather than answering one-off questions.
The main point of concern for readers is cost. Access to the agents is priced at $200 per month, according to the same report. That places the tool well above typical consumer AI subscriptions, so it is aimed at people who expect to rely on it for sustained workloads. The source excerpt does not list which plan tiers include the feature, what usage limits apply, or which regions are covered, so those details remain unconfirmed.
Only one source is available for this story, so the description of the product comes from a single outlet and has not been checked against an official announcement in our material. Readers who want to try agent-style tools should compare the monthly price with the value of the tasks they would hand over, and should look for clear details on data handling before connecting personal or household files to any agent.
