While Gemini often takes center stage on Samsung devices, Bixby, Samsung’s own assistant, is quietly evolving. Although Bixby hasn’t received significant updates on mobile platforms due to Samsung’s focus on integrating Gemini, subtle enhancements are emerging. Bixby now offers more intelligent responses by utilizing AI from the startup Perplexity. Samsung has been exploring various collaborations with Perplexity, including potential investment or acquisition, but no formal deal has been finalized. Despite this, a standalone Perplexity app is now available for Samsung TVs, and Bixby has started using Perplexity to process queries, improving its response capabilities on both TVs and phones. For instance, Bixby can now deliver detailed weather forecasts and suggest whether an umbrella might be necessary.
Is Bixby leveraging Perplexity to enhance its responses?
