- Samsung Apps to integrate Perplexity AI for improved workflows.
Samsung Electronics has announced the next step in its Galaxy AI strategy, presenting it as an open and integrated ecosystem with multiple AI agents to make daily tasks easier. According to the company, Galaxy AI is designed to work at the operating system level, not just within individual apps, to help reduce effort in everyday routines. The goal is to make AI feel more natural, relevant, and smooth.
A Shift to Multiple AI Agents
Samsung points to recent research showing that almost 80% of users use more than two types of AI agents depending on what they need to do, as AI tools become a bigger part of daily life. People are using different assistants for things such as:
- Searching
- Getting work done
- Creating reminders
- Creating content
To address this, Samsung is updating Galaxy AI to let users choose from several integrated Agents. Rather than limiting people to a single AI, the system will allow multiple Agents to work cooperatively within the Galaxy platform.
Galaxy AI acts as an orchestrator bringing together different forms of AI into a single, natural, integrated experience, said Juan Jun Choi, President, COO, and Head of the R&D Office Mobile experience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics.
Samsung highlights that Galaxy AI works at the system level, not just within apps. Instead of making users switch between apps or repeat commands, the system understands what is needed and runs in the background.
This setup lets Samsung add partner services while maintaining a consistent user experience. For example, a Perplexity AI will be added as another AI agent on the new flagship Galaxy devices.
Users can turn on Perplexity by saying the wake phrase, “Hey Plex,” or by using quick access controls, such as pressing and holding the side button.
Perplexity’s AI agent will be built into several Samsung apps, including Samsung Notes, Clock, Gallery, Reminder, and Calendar, as well as third-party apps.
Samsung says this integration will make multi-step tasks easier. For example, users can collect information, save notes, set reminders, and organize schedules without switching between apps.
By managing everything at the system level, Galaxy AI aims to deliver a smoother, more flexible experience across users’ devices.
For users, this change shows that Samsung is following a broader industry trend toward Open AI ecosystems rather than relying on a single assistant. By making Galaxy AI a coordinator for multiple agents, Samsung is betting that people prefer options and flexibility over being limited to a single choice. Details about supported devices and timelines will be announced at a later date, but the future is unclear. Samsung wants Galaxy AI to serve as the connective layer that ties together different forms of intelligence into a single integrated experience.
