Galaxy S26 Users to Summon ‘Perplexity’ in Multi-Agent Ecosystem
The Galaxy S26 smartphone is set to break new ground in the artificial intelligence (AI) sphere. It will introduce ‘Perplexity’ or ‘Plex’, a new AI agent that users can summon by simply saying “hey, Plex”. This is part of a larger initiative by Samsung to establish a “multi-agent ecosystem” within its devices, moving beyond just Bixby or Gemini. This innovative step is aimed at fostering a more personalized and efficient user interaction with the smartphone. [Source]
AI Integration on a New Level
AI agents have been increasingly utilized due to their unique strengths in handling different tasks. With this reality in mind, Samsung seeks not just to incorporate various AI agents into its operating system, but to make them an integral part of the user experience. Summoning Plex won’t merely bring up an inbuilt app to answer queries rapidly. Instead, Perplexity will be woven into several Samsung applications such as Samsung Notes, Clock, Gallery, Reminder, and Calendar. While Samsung has also mentioned integration with certain third-party apps, specifics are yet to be disclosed. [Source]
AI At The Heart Of User Experience
Samsung is convinced that the use of AI for engaging with smartphones will become the norm. The company also recognizes that users develop strong attachments to their preferred AI agents, and hence, Samsung is striving to provide the flexibility for users to choose their preferred AI at the core of their smartphone experience. This approach, it hopes, will set it apart from competitors like Apple and Google. [Source]
