- Can Perplexity's new Teammates agents prove their value as investors erase $2 trillion from Nasdaq stocks?News
Perplexity announced Teammates this week, a set of persistent AI agents with assigned roles that can remember past projects and work through individual threads. The launch comes as investors question whether heavy AI spending is delivering returns, amid a roughly $2 trillion wipeout in Nasdaq value. For those tracking agentic AI products, Teammates puts role-based agents inside workplace workflows, including Slack. The unanswered test is whether these agents can handle ongoing company jobs well enough to justify their cost.

The story leaves a key detail to explore: how Teammates handle large-scale work beyond Computer’s task completion.
