Samsung has confirmed the arrival of the Perplexity artificial intelligence assistant to the brand's mobile phones. With the new integration, it is possible to use the voice command "Hey, Plex" or use the side button to open a chat window and interact with the tool.

The partnership marks an expansion phase for Galaxy AI: the platform aims to transform into an ecosystem for multiple AI agents, allowing users to choose from different options for each task or routine. The brand's AI suite is integrated into the system and not into individual apps, so it's possible to integrate the experience with other third-party services.

Access to Perplexity will be released with the arrival of Samsung's new top-of-the-line models. The company has booked an event next Wednesday (25) to announce the Galaxy S26 family, as well as news on the One UI interface.

The One UI 8.5 update features a smarter version of Bixby. Samsung's assistant gains generative AI capabilities, can hold longer conversations, and even perform actions on the device.

What can Perplexity do on Samsung phones?
The Perplexity agent can be used in two main ways: the first is as a traditional AI chatbot, geared towards web searches and answering prompts on various topics.

The second option involves an artificial intelligence agent integrated into other Samsung applications, such as Clock, Gallery, Calendar, and Notes. It's possible to use this tool to obtain context from the phone and create automated tasks, eliminating the need to manage the apps manually.
