Perplexity brings Teammates to Mac for Max subscribers

Perplexity has released Teammates, its AI agents that take on and carry out ongoing tasks, in its Mac app for Perplexity Max subscribers, the company's top paid tier. Perplexity says multiple Teammates can work independently or split a larger job between them, citing QA, customer service, research and growth marketing as example uses. Perplexity has not said when or whether Teammates will reach Pro or free users, or other platforms such as Windows.

Perplexity has rolled out Teammates in its Mac app. The feature is available now to Perplexity Max subscribers, the company’s top paid tier. Teammates are AI agents that take on work for users. Rather than answering one question at a time, they are built to own a task and carry it out. Each Teammate can work independently, while several can work together and split a larger job between them. Perplexity cites QA, customer service, research, and growth marketing as examples and says the agents can handle more than those uses. The launch continues Perplexity’s https://www.testingcatalog.com/tag/perplexity/ move from an answer engine toward agentic products that run work in the background. Bringing Teammates to the Mac app puts these agents on the desktop, where much of that work happens, rather than keeping them only in the browser. Limiting the first release to Max fits how AI companies tend to ship agent features. They start with their highest-paying users, where usage costs are easier to cover, before opening them up more widely. Perplexity has not said when or whether Teammates will reach Pro or free users, or other platforms such as Windows. For teams already paying for Max, Teammates is a direct challenge to the growing field of multi-agent workspaces. It turns Perplexity from a place users go to look things up into one that can be handed recurring work.
