Perplexity Launches Teammates: Persistent Work Agents on Computer with Slack, Research Preview for Max on Web

On November 5 Perplexity (@perplexity_ai) and CEO Aravind Srinivas (@AravSrinivas) launched Teammates: persistent personal agents on Computer that own ongoing responsibilities, inherit Projects, Skills, Memory and tool permissions, run in isolated desktops and browsers, collaborate with other teammates, and proactively monitor Slack. Official help docs call it a research preview for individual Max subscribers on the web; Enterprise Pro/Max are not included by default; native mobile and desktop apps are coming later.

Key Takeaways

Shift from one-shot prompts to high-level goals; a teammate keeps its role until you reassign it (vendor/CEO)
Multi-agent orchestration, isolated desktop/browser, proactive monitoring of Slack/GitHub/Linear connectors
Individual Max (~$200/mo, ~10k Computer credits/mo) web research preview; Enterprise not included by default (help center)
Internal adoption: CEO says ~10k teammates in 30 days (~20x headcount) with ~1k active yesterday (personal claim, not an audit)
Setup on web: assign role and escalation, take over the desktop, or redirect; shared chats are read-only for others

Shopify Fall ’26 Edition bets on agentic commerce: Shop.md shopping skill, Shop.dev single connection, and Shop Pay inside Muse, Claude Duet, Grok Bot and other personal agents

On Oct 28 Shopify shipped its 10th Edition (Fall ’26, theme Exponential, 150+ updates including 57 for developers), centered on opening its catalog, cart and checkout to any agent. Shop.dev gives one connection to Shopify Catalog (1B+ products), sign-in with Shop, cart, checkout and Shop Pay; Shop.md is a customizable skill that turns ChatGPT, Claude or other agents into personal shoppers; Shop Pay now works inside Meta’s Muse, Claude Duet and Instinct, and Claude Duet, Grok Bot and Instinct can also use it for brands not on Shopify. Every Liquid and Hydrogen storefront and checkout now exposes WebMCP tools.

Key Takeaways

Scale (vendor figures): Shopify Catalog has 1B+ products and Shop Pay 400M+ shoppers; the Edition has 150+ updates, 57 of them for developers
Shop.dev is one connection for Catalog, sign-in with Shop, cart, checkout and Shop Pay; the underlying Shop MCP server is mcp.shop.com and search needs no API key
Shop Pay in personal agents starts with Muse from Meta, Claude Duet and Instinct; Claude Duet, Grok Bot and Instinct can also buy from brands off Shopify, with the card never shared with the agent and tokens from Mastercard, Visa and Discover (Amex coming)
WebMCP tools ship on every Liquid and Hydrogen storefront and checkout so browser agents can search, update the cart and check out after buyer approval
For developers: a one-command app security check in the Shopify CLI AI Toolkit, and a rebuilt Hydrogen plus the open-source Next.js Vercel Shop template are now generally available
