This week, Perplexity has deployed its new proactive agentic AI feature called Teammates to the Mac. Perplexity Teammates were previously limited to iOS and the web.
Perplexity Teammates now work on iOS and the Mac #
Similar to Grok Bot, Perplexity Teammates are task-oriented proactive agentic AI threads that work for you without constantly being prompted. Meta Muse and ChatGPT Dots are similar, but use a single chat model rather than supporting multiple instances.
Here’s more about Perplexity Teammates: Teammates are a team of AI agents that own ongoing work. Give a teammate a responsibility, such as managing a growth campaign, triaging incoming bug reports, tracking your metrics, or researching a new market, and it owns that work around the clock. It plans the tasks, brings in more agents when the work grows, and follows through until the result is ready for your review.
Access to Teammates currently requires a paid Perplexity Max subscription. The feature builds on top of Perplexity’s existing AI orchestration system.
