- New Perplexity app coming to all 2025 Samsung TVs
- Owners of Samsung TVs from 2023 and 2024 will get the new app later this year
- The app includes a 12-month Perplexity Pro subscription for free
Perplexity, the AI search engine, is coming to all 2025 Samsung TVs via a new app that includes a free 12-month Perplexity Pro subscription. And if you own a 2024 or 2023 model Samsung TV, you’ll also get the Perplexity AI app later this year via an OS upgrade.
If you’ve never heard of Perplexity, think of it as a version of ChatGPT that focuses more on finding answers to your questions via web searches. In fact, Perplexity describes itself as an “answer engine”. It’s designed to scour credible sources in real-time to give you accurate answers.
This new app will turn your TV into more than just a screen – it can become a super smart, go-to resource for everything you need. Once Perplexity has answered your question, it will suggest additional questions for you to ask, making it very easy to keep the conversation going.
“Curiosity can strike at any time. Perplexity’s mission is to serve the world’s curiosity by bridging the gap between traditional search and innovative AI-powered interfaces,” said Ryan Foutty, VP of Business at Perplexity.
“The first-of-its-kind Perplexity AI-powered app, now available only on Samsung TVs, expands our Vision AI Platform offering for a more unique and personalized user experience,” said Dan Glassman, Senior Director and Head of New Business Development for Samsung Electronics.
How the Perplexity app works
Using the new Perplexity app is easy, just find it in the Apps tab or through Samsung’s Vision AI Companion (accessed via the AI button). Once you’ve accepted the terms and conditions, you’re ready to chat with AI. You can ask for just about anything, from what to watch on Halloween to help with everyday tasks.
The app defaults to voice commands, but if that’s not your thing, don’t worry, you can still use the on-screen keyboard or even a USB-connected keyboard to type your questions.
Your Perplexity results appear as high-quality, easy-to-read cards specially designed to be read on your Samsung TV.
12-month Pro
Unveiled at IFA 2025, Samsung’s Vision AI Companion is designed to integrate Samsung’s most advanced AI capabilities into one seamless experience.
The 12-month Pro subscription will be available to everyone via an in-app QR code that you can scan with your phone. The Perplexity Pro experience differs from regular Perplexity because you access Pro searches using either GPT-5, Claude Sonnet 4.5, or Gemini 2.5 Pro. You also get access to Research Mode for in-depth reports and it can create images.
