Perplexity has introduced Teammates, autonomous AI agents that manage tasks like QA and customer service, in its Mac app for Max subscribers. These agents operate independently or collaboratively to handle ongoing work, expanding the feature from iOS and web to desktop.

What happened

Perplexity has launched its Teammates feature, a set of autonomous AI agents, in its Mac app for users subscribed to the Max tier. These agents are designed to manage ongoing tasks such as QA and customer service, either individually or in collaboration with each other. The feature was previously available on iOS and web, and is now accessible on desktop for the first time. The rollout is currently limited to Max subscribers, with no announced timeline for broader availability.

Key details

  • Teammates are available in the Perplexity Mac app as of November 13, 2026.
  • Access to Teammates requires a Perplexity Max subscription, the company's highest paid tier.
  • The agents can handle tasks including QA, customer service, research, and growth marketing.
  • Teammates can work independently or together on larger jobs.
  • There is no announced release date for Pro or free users, or for other platforms like Windows.

Why it matters

Max subscribers using the Mac app can now assign ongoing or recurring work to AI agents, reducing the need for manual task management. This gives teams and individuals on the Max plan new automation capabilities directly on their desktop, potentially saving time and resources. Companies or users not on the Max tier, or those using other operating systems, do not have access to this feature and must wait for any future expansion.
