Perplexity Teammates were previously limited to iOS and the web.\n\n## Perplexity Teammates now work on iOS and the Mac\n\nSimilar 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.\n\nHere’s more about [Perplexity Teammates](https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/products/teammates):\n\nTeammates 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.\n\nAccess to Teammates currently requires a paid Perplexity Max subscription. The feature builds on top of Perplexity’s existing AI orchestration system.\n\n**Related Perplexity stories:**\n\n- [Perplexity’s Computer can now run entirely on your Mac, even offline](https://9to5mac.com/2026/10/20/perplexitys-computer-can-now-run-entirely-on-your-mac-even-offline/)\n- [Perplexity launches privacy-minded ‘hybrid compute’ AI feature for Mac](https://9to5mac.com/2026/09/01/perplexity-launches-privacy-minded-hybrid-compute-ai-feature-for-mac/)\n- [Perplexity upgrades Mac app with ChatGPT-powered voice mode](https://9to5mac.com/2026/10/28/perplexity-upgrades-mac-app-with-chatgpt-powered-voice-mode/)\n\n**Do more with your Apple products**\n\n[AirPods 5 | Apple’s newest wireless headphones](https://amzn.to/4hnE1jt)\n\n[Apple AirTag 2 | Add Find My tracking to keys, bags, bikes, more](https://amzn.to/4vjNWN1)\n\n[AirPods Pro 3 | Apple’s best wireless headphones](https://amzn.to/4ut3FYp)\n\n*FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.* [More.](https://9to5mac.com/about/#affiliate)\n\n[our homepage](http://9to5mac.com/)for all the latest news, and follow 9to5Mac on\n\n[exclusive stories](https://9to5mac.com/feature/exclusive/),\n\n[reviews](https://9to5mac.com/guides/review/),\n\n[how-tos](https://9to5mac.com/guides/how-to/), and\n\n[subscribe to our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/9to5mac)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/perplexity-brings-ai-agents-feature-called-teammates-to-the-mac", "canonical_source": "https://9to5mac.com/2026/11/13/perplexity-brings-ai-agents-feature-called-teammates-to-the-mac/", "published_at": "2026-11-13 19:31:05+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-11-13 19:53:19.995044+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-products", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["Perplexity", "Teammates", "Perplexity Max", "Mac", "iOS", "Grok Bot", "Meta Muse", "ChatGPT Dots"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/perplexity-brings-ai-agents-feature-called-teammates-to-the-mac", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/perplexity-brings-ai-agents-feature-called-teammates-to-the-mac.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/perplexity-brings-ai-agents-feature-called-teammates-to-the-mac.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/perplexity-brings-ai-agents-feature-called-teammates-to-the-mac.jsonld"}}
