24/7Ongoing work

You stop typing. It keeps working.

Teammates take on ongoing work between prompts and come back with finished output for you to review — closer to delegating to a colleague than chatting with a bot.

SlackWhere you brief them

Assign work in a Slack message.

Teammates can be reached through Slack, which puts AI agents directly into the tools teams already use to hand off work.

↓Agent API pricing

Lower costs, and a prompt-injection test.

The same week, Perplexity's blog listed a cost reduction for Agent API effort levels (November 5) and BrowseSafe++, a benchmark for prompt-injection attacks on browsing agents (November 2).

Arrow's take

What it means for brands

• Agents with their own browsers will visit your site to compare, shortlist and recommend. Make key facts (price, specs, availability) readable without JavaScript tricks.
• Agents work from many sources at once. Consistent claims across your site, reviews and directories make you easier to recommend.
• Prompt-injection defenses mean agents will distrust manipulative copy. Plain, verifiable statements win.
