Perplexity has launched a new feature called 'Teammates,' which are always-on AI agents that run independently on their own virtual machines. This innovation allows these agents to manage ongoing projects without constant user input, according to The Decoder.
The service is available exclusively through Perplexity's Max plan, priced at $200 per month. The Decoder notes that this cost is significantly higher than comparable AI offerings from competitors such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
For Japanese investors and traders, the introduction of autonomous AI agents at a premium price point highlights the growing sophistication and differentiation in AI tools across global markets, potentially influencing adoption strategies in FX, crypto, and equities sectors.
