In addition to summoning Bixby<\/a> or Gemini<\/a>, Galaxy S26 users will be able to call on Perplexity by saying \u201chey, Plex<\/a>.\u201d The integration of Perplexity into Galaxy AI is just one element of the company\u2019s embrace of a \u201cmulti-agent ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Often, people will use different AI agents for different tasks, depending on where their strengths lie. So Samsung is opening up the ability to integrate different agents into the OS. Hey, Plex isn\u2019t just some transparent version of the app baked into a Galaxy phone to quickly get answers to questions. Perplexity will have access to Samsung Notes, Clock, Gallery, Reminder, and Calendar, as well as select third-party apps, though which ones specifically Samsung didn\u2019t say.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Samsung seems to believe that people will increasingly use AI to interact with their phones. But, as we\u2019ve learned, people can develop strong<\/a> attachments<\/a> to particular<\/a> AIs. So the company is betting that giving people the freedom to put whatever agent they want at the heart of their phone will help differentiate them from competition like Apple and Google.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
