Samsung expands Galaxy AI and integrates the AI search engine Perplexity directly into its devices. This will allow Samsung to offer research, summaries, and more complex processes directly within the system.
This is how Samsung responds to changing user behavior. Many people use different AI tools depending on the task—sometimes for creative content, sometimes for structured research or quick fact-checks. With Perplexity, Galaxy AI is set to become more versatile and offer greater specialization.
Galaxy AI Becomes a Multi-Agent System
Samsung is developing Galaxy AI into a so-called multi-agent ecosystem. According to the company, several AI services work in parallel in the background and are available as needed. Perplexity complements existing functions and is expected to excel in precise information searches and structured responses with source citations.
Perplexity is particularly known for its research capabilities. The integration will also enable multi-step processes. Users can switch between tasks without having to manually open or organize individual apps.

Activation by Voice Command
Access is via the activation word “Hey Plex” or by long-pressing the side button. This deeply integrates the service into the device’s operating structure and allows it to be launched without a separate app. Samsung also plans to integrate it into central applications such as Samsung Notes, Clock, Gallery, Reminders, and Calendar.
