Perplexity Brings Teammates Agents to Mac, $200 Max Plan Only
TL;DR
- Perplexity rolled Teammates, its persistent AI agents, into the Mac app on November 13, after launching the feature on the web the prior week.
- The feature remains gated behind the Max plan at $200 a month or $2,000 a year.
- Teammates take on QA, customer service, research, and growth marketing, with users able to run multiple agent instances alongside one another.
Perplexity's Teammates, the always-on AI agents it launched on the web the prior week, arrived in the Mac app on November 13, 9to5Mac reports. Access still costs $200 a month, or $2,000 a year, under the company's Max plan.
The pitch, in Perplexity's own words: "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." On X, the company announced the Mac rollout in a single sentence: "Teammates are now available in the Perplexity Mac app for Max subscribers."
The agents handle QA, customer service, research, and growth marketing, and users can run several alongside one another. 9to5Mac notes the feature resembles Grok Bot, Meta Muse, and ChatGPT Dots, but supports multiple agent instances rather than a single chat model.
Nothing new in pricing or scope landed with the Mac version. Web and iOS came first, with the web launch dating to the prior week, and Mac is the third surface in roughly a fortnight. It is one of a dozen Perplexity stories we have logged in the last 90 days.
