Perplexity's assistant built into Samsung's Galaxy S26 phones, which answers by voice and works inside Samsung's Notes, Calendar, Clock, Gallery and Reminder apps.

Why 2: the support page we opened shows it acting on single requests such as setting an alarm; Samsung's announcement described multi-step tasks across its apps, but we found no hands-on test confirming them.
What it does. Announced on 22 February 2026 as one of several agents in Samsung's Galaxy AI, alongside Gemini and Bixby. It is woken by long-pressing the side button or by voice, and Samsung described it as working across Notes, Clock, Gallery, Reminder, Calendar and some unnamed third-party apps. Samsung's June 2026 support page lists searching, summarising and managing Galaxy apps through prompts, such as setting an alarm.
Where it falls short. The wake phrase was announced as 'Hey Plex' and Samsung's support page now says 'Hey Perplexity'; PhoneArena reported the original phrase missing on some phones. We found no hands-on review of the multi-step claims, and the third-party app list was never published in the sources we opened.
