Samsung Electronics has announced the continued expansion of Galaxy AI, outlining plans to support a broader, open and integrated multi-agent ecosystem. The company said Galaxy AI is designed to reduce effort across everyday tasks and enable more natural interactions, while offering users greater choice, flexibility and control.
The announcement follows user insights showing increased reliance on multiple AI agents for different tasks.
Users increasingly rely on multiple AI agents
Samsung cited findings indicating that nearly 8 in 10 users now use more than two types of AI agents depending on their needs. As AI tools become part of daily routines, users are selecting different assistants based on specific tasks.
To address this shift, Samsung is evolving Galaxy AI to support a choice of integrated agents. The system is intended to allow users to select AI experiences that align with their preferences and usage patterns within the Galaxy environment.
System-level integration within the operating system
Galaxy AI is built to function at the operating system level through framework-level integration across the device. Instead of operating only within individual applications, the system is designed to understand user context and support interactions across apps.
This structure reduces the need to switch between applications or repeat instructions. Galaxy AI can operate in the background and coordinate services while remaining integrated within the Galaxy interface.
Samsung stated that this approach enables curated experiences from supporting services, including Perplexity, while maintaining a unified system experience.
Perplexity to be added as an AI agent
As part of the multi-agent expansion, Samsung will introduce Perplexity as an additional AI agent on upcoming flagship Galaxy devices.
Access methods will include:
- A dedicated voice wake phrase: “Hey Plex”
- Quick-access controls, such as pressing and holding the side button
These options are intended to provide contextual assistance when required.
Integration across Samsung and third-party apps
Perplexity’s AI agent will be embedded across select Samsung applications, including:
- Samsung Notes
- Clock
- Gallery
- Reminder
- Calendar
It will also integrate with select third-party applications.
According to Samsung, the integration supports multi-step workflows, allowing users to move between tasks without manually managing separate apps. The system-level design is intended to provide a more flexible AI experience across the device.
Availability
Samsung said additional details regarding supported devices and specific experiences will be announced at a later date.
Speaking on the announcement, Won-Joon Choi, President, Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Head of the R&D Office, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics, said,
We’ve remained committed to building an open and inclusive integrated AI ecosystem that provides users with more choice, flexibility and control to complete complex tasks quickly and efficiently. Galaxy AI serves as an orchestrator, bringing together different forms of AI into a unified, natural and cohesive experience.
