Perplexity has expanded its Teammates AI agent feature to the Mac desktop application as of November 14. This functionality, previously limited to iOS and web platforms, is now available to Max subscription users.

Teammates functions as a suite of AI agents designed to handle specific, ongoing professional responsibilities. Unlike standard chatbots that require constant user prompts, these agents plan execution steps and manage tasks until they are ready for review.

Users can deploy these agents for various business operations, including managing growth marketing campaigns, categorizing software bug reports, tracking key business metrics, and conducting market research.

The system supports collaborative workflows where multiple agents work together on larger projects. Perplexity highlights use cases such as quality assurance, customer service, and research, allowing for both individual and team-based AI task management.
