Samsung just dropped the world’s first Perplexity AI-powered app for its televisions. The addition is a major piece of Samsung’s ‘Vision AI Companion’ platform, which the company first revealed earlier this month at IFA 2025.
The app essentially turns your telly into a proper research tool. Perplexity is known for being an ‘answer engine’ that pulls information from credible, real-time sources, letting you ask it complex questions and get solid, sourced replies.
AI has officially hit your sofa
The app functions as a standalone AI agent. You can fire it up from the Apps Tab on your home screen or just hit the special AI Button to get started. After you agree to the terms and let it access your microphone, you can just ask it things. You could plan an entire holiday, get Diwali film recommendations, and much more.
But it’s not limited to voice inputs alone, as users are also free to use an on-screen or even a USB keyboard to feed it queries. And instead of boring text-only replies, the app delivers answers on “high-quality, glanceable cards” designed specifically for the big screen.
This move signals that the AI battleground is officially expanding from our phones and laptops straight to the sofa. Perplexity is not the only option, either. Samsung owners will apparently get to choose between it, Microsoft‘s Copilot, and Samsung’s own in-house AI.
The Perplexity TV App is available right now on all 2025 Samsung TVs. If you’ve got a 2023 or 2024 model, you’ll get it through an OS upgrade later this year. To sweeten the deal, everyone gets a free 12-month subscription to Perplexity Pro. You just have to scan a QR code in the app to grab it.
