Samsung partners with AI startup Perplexity to bring a voice- and text-powered answer engine directly to 2025 Smart TVsâwith glanceable results and a free Pro subscription.
A New Era of AI on the Big Screen
Subpoint: Perplexityâs Debut TV App Lands on Samsung
Samsung has taken another major step in making its TVs AI-powered smart hubs. The company has launched the first-ever Perplexity TV app, bringing real-time, research-driven answers right to your living room.
- Exclusively available now on 2025 Samsung Smart TVs
- Expands Samsung’s Vision AI capabilities
- Built in collaboration with AI startup Perplexity, known for its powerful answer engine
The app allows users to ask anythingâfrom entertainment suggestions to in-depth research topicsâand receive visually rich answer cards.
How the Perplexity TV App Works
Subpoint: Voice or Text, Answers Delivered Visually
Using the Perplexity app is easy and intuitive:
- Ask questions via voice commands or on-screen text input
- Results are displayed in custom-designed answer cards for TVs
- The app also suggests follow-up questions to continue your exploration
Think of it as having a smart research assistant built into your TV. You can use it for:
- Movie and show recommendations
- Topical queries like news, sports, or finance
- Creative ideas for holidays, events, or planning
- Deep research for school, work, or curiosity
Seamless AI, Designed for the TV Experience
Subpoint: Card-Based Layout Made for Large Screens
Perplexity on TV doesnât just dump web links or long text blocks. Instead, answers are presented in a clean, glanceable card layout, optimized for TV viewing distance and clarity.
- No scrolling through pages of clutter
- Quick visuals, concise answers, and smart summaries
- Tailored UX for voice-first and remote-control input
This makes the app perfect for shared useâwhether you’re asking about Halloween content, filmographies, or the history of a city while lounging on the couch.
Free 12-Month Perplexity Pro Subscription
Subpoint: Premium Access at No Cost
Samsung is also sweetening the deal by offering one year of Perplexity Pro for free to TV users.
- Available when you open the app for the first time
- Just scan the on-screen QR code with your phone to redeem
- Unlocks access to premium AI models, advanced reasoning, file uploads, and more
This brings full desktop-like AI capabilities to your TVâwithout the need for another device.
More TVs Will Get Access Soon
Subpoint: Software Update for 2023â2024 Models on the Way
Currently, the app is exclusive to 2025 Samsung TVs. However, Samsung has confirmed that:
- A software update later this year will roll out Perplexity TV to 2023 and 2024 models
- This ensures wider access to the app across its smart TV ecosystem
Samsung continues to blur the lines between devices, creating consistent AI experiences across phones, tablets, monitors, and now, televisions.
