Perplexity Teammates land on macOS app
Perplexity has rolled out its autonomous agent workspace, Teammates, to its native macOS desktop application. The update brings persistent background agents with dedicated environments directly to the desktop to manage ongoing, multi-step workflows.
Bringing Teammates to native macOS cements Perplexity's shift from an answer engine into an omnipresent, background AI coworker.
- –Moving beyond the browser allows persistent agent threads to live natively alongside local developer workflows and desktop tools
- –Dedicated sandboxes and browser environments allow agents to execute complex, long-running tasks without cluttering local sessions
- –Autonomous follow-through and integrations with platforms like GitHub and Slack enable passive oversight rather than active micromanagement
- –Pressures desktop agent competitors by pairing multi-model flexibility with persistent role-based teammates
