Perplexity work agents add a 200-dollar monthly cost
In brief
Perplexity has launched Teammates, a set of AI agents aimed at workplace tasks. According to The Verge, they can run all day, hold several roles in a workspace, and reuse projects, skills and memory from existing Perplexity tools. They sit on top of Perplexity Computer, can be tracked in app threads or in Slack, and require the Max plan at 200 dollars per month.

What it changes for an SME
For an SME of 10 to 250 people, this is another option for agents that run all day, next to those from OpenAI and Anthropic mentioned in the article. The 200-dollar monthly Max plan is a clear extra cost, and the source does not say whether it covers the whole company or extra seats. Time saved would only apply if you already work in Perplexity and assign ongoing tasks to these agents. The report does not cover data protection or the EU AI Act, so those risks stay yours to assess.
What you can do
- Ask Perplexity what the Max plan includes and whether 200 dollars a month covers one user or the organisation.
- If you already use Perplexity, try whether Teammates can handle one repetitive internal task inside that workspace.
- Decide who may assign tasks to agents that run all day and how you will review their output in Slack or the app.
