Each Teammate can take on several roles within a workspace and pulls projects, skills and memory from existing Perplexity tools. Users follow each one in its own thread in the Perplexity app and can interact with them in Slack. Comparable offerings exist at OpenAI (Dots) and Anthropic (Claude Duet). CEO Aravind Srinivas says he envisions, over time, hundreds of teammates working for each person.
