Perplexity launches 'Teammates' AI agents for Max subscribers

Perplexity has introduced 'teammates,' autonomous AI agents built on its Perplexity Computer platform that can handle ongoing, large-scale work with minimal supervision. Users can assign teammates specific roles, have them collaborate and recruit additional teammates as workloads grow, and each operates continuously, surfacing in the Computer sidebar and notifying users only when a decision is needed. The feature is currently limited to Perplexity Max subscribers on web and iOS, a tier priced at $200 a month or $2,000 a year.

Perplexity enables fully local AI workflows on Apple Silicon Macs

Perplexity has expanded its Computer app so users can run its entire AI agent experience, including the orchestrator and harness, locally on an Apple Silicon Mac with at least 36GB of RAM. Users can pick between two local models, Qwen 3.6 or Perplexity's own fine-tuned PPLX Pro, and still call on over 15 frontier models when needed. The feature is rolling out now to Perplexity Pro, Max and Enterprise subscribers via the Mac app.
