Samsung adds Perplexity to Galaxy AI with 'Hey Plex' voice command

Galaxy S26 users can summon Perplexity by saying "Hey, Plex" alongside Bixby and Gemini. Perplexity will have access to Samsung Notes, Clock, Gallery, Reminder, Calendar, and select third-party apps, going beyond a simple app layer. Samsung is betting on a "multi-agent ecosystem" where users choose their preferred AI assistant at the OS level. The approach differentiates from Apple and Google's single-agent strategies, banking on the idea that people develop strong attachments to particular AIs. More details are expected at Samsung's Unpacked event on February 25.
