What changed
Perplexity launched Teammates for Max subscribers on the web. Each teammate can coordinate Computer sessions and other teammates, reuse Projects, skills, memory, files and tools, monitor ongoing work, message coworkers in Slack and operate in a separate browser environment.
Why it matters
The product shifts from a user-started task to an agent that owns ongoing work and can hand work to other agents or people. Persistent memory, plugins, saved credentials and Slack communication therefore become part of one delegated authority chain.
What to do
Give one teammate a read-only synthetic project, connect only one least-privilege plugin, require review before any external message, then test conflicting teammate handoffs, credential revocation, memory correction, browser separation and shutdown.
Caveat
Initial availability is limited to Perplexity Max on the web, with iOS planned. Perplexity describes separate environments, encrypted credentials and review controls but publishes no independent containment, duplicate-work, memory-correction or Slack-attribution results.
