Perplexity has brought its Teammates feature to Mac. This offers users a new way to complete tasks with AI. The AI company announced it on November 13, through an X post (formerly Twitter). It reads, “Teammates take on work for you. They work individually or with other teammates to handle QA, customer service, research, growth marketing, and more.”
The feature allows users to assign tasks to multiple AI agents instead of handling everything through a single chatbot. To be precise, it works kind of similarly to Grok Bot, Meta Muse, or ChatGPT Dot. These agents can take care of ongoing tasks, manage projects, and work on different jobs at the same time. Users can also check their work and review the results when the tasks are complete.
Teammates can handle several types of work, including market research, marketing campaigns, customer service, tracking business numbers, and sorting bug reports. Users can assign a task to an agent, which can then plan the work and bring in other agents when needed. This means users do not have to keep giving instructions at every step. The feature is designed to keep work moving even when users are away from their Mac.

The feature is live; there’s a catch. Perplexity Teammates is only available for Perplexity Max subscribers. This raises an important question: will useful AI tools become something only people willing to pay more can use?
Now, people should consider that running several AI agents requires computing power that makes the service expensive. This, to some extent, justifies why Perplexity kept it for the MAX subscribers. Still, users need to consider whether the time saved is worth the subscription price.
Perplexity Teammates could make work on Mac easier and faster. However, its limited access may stop many users from trying it. The real test will be whether the time and effort it saves can justify its price.
