Hand one recurring job to a named AI teammate that keeps going without a fresh prompt each morning: give it the goal, tools and when to escalate, then review what it brings back: AI agent prompt

Perplexity launched Teammates on Nov 4–5, 2026: persistent personal agents that own ongoing work instead of vanishing after one Computer session. CEO Aravind Srinivas described them as coworkers that take high-level goals, plan and coordinate tasks, use Projects, Memory, Skills, connectors and files already in Perplexity, and bring completed work back for review. Digital Trends (Nov 5, 2026) reports examples spanning marketing, sales, support and operations—triaging bugs, QA loops, security monitoring, data analysis and A/B tests—and a demo where an ads teammate spots creator ads beating CAC targets, prepares a bigger campaign and sends a contract extension to legal, then learns to do that automatically after feedback. Teammates can be added to Slack channels so colleagues hand them work; each runs in its own environment and you can take over its desktop. The research preview is for individual Perplexity Max subscribers on the web ($200/month per Digital Trends); Free and Pro need an upgrade; native apps are coming. The prompt below sets up the same standing-responsibility pattern in any agent tool you already use.

The prompt

You are my standing teammate for one recurring job. Role name: [e.g. Ads CAC watcher / Bug triage / Weekly metrics]. Goal in one sentence: [what done looks like]. Tools you may use: [Slack, GitHub, Gmail, browser, sheets—list only what I connect]. Act when: [e.g. every weekday at 9am, or when a new bug label appears]. Always escalate to me before: [sending external messages, spending money, changing live ads, merging code, anything irreversible]. Memory to keep: project goals, past decisions, and corrections I give you. First task: [concrete starter]. Each time you work: 1) restate the goal and what changed since last run, 2) do only the steps that are ready, 3) bring me a short review pack (what you did, evidence, decisions needed), 4) update your own checklist from my feedback so the next run needs less asking. Do not invent numbers or send anything without my say-so.

Before you use it: what to check

Already built into this prompt

Do not invent numbers or send anything without my say-so.

Check yourself

Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes.
Anything legal, tax or compliance-related is a first draft for a qualified person to check. It is not professional advice, and clause references and deadlines must be checked against the source.
Remove names, contact details, account numbers and other personal data the task doesn't need before you paste, and check your AI tool's data and training settings.
Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically".
