Samsung is adding Perplexity to Galaxy AI
Samsung is letting Galaxy S26 users swap in Perplexity as a system-level AI agent alongside Bixby and Gemini, with deep access to native apps like Notes, Calendar, and Gallery — activated by just saying "hey, Plex." The real story isn't Perplexity specifically, but Samsung's broader shift toward a multi-agent OS where users pick which AI runs their phone, rather than being locked into one. It's a clear play against Apple's Siri-only model and Google's Gemini-first approach — whether users actually care about choosing their AI assistant is the open question.
