According to Dongcha Beating's monitoring, AI search company Perplexity is internally developing an AI programming tool called Teammate, aiming to challenge Cursor, Claude Code, and OpenAI Codex.

Teammate has been used internally by Perplexity engineers since May, focusing on longer-cycle software engineering tasks, including advancing projects, troubleshooting issues, monitoring services, and finding internal system vulnerabilities. It adopts a model-agnostic design, not tied to a single underlying model, more like an engineering project agent rather than a common code completion tool.

Perplexity CTO Denis Yarats has also been internally pushing engineers to use AI more for writing code, stating that software engineers should "stop looking at code" by the end of the year or earlier, and directly use AI.
