Samsung Puts Perplexity’s AI Answer Engine on 2025 TVs as Older Models Get It Later This Year

The new app ties into Samsung’s Vision AI Companion to deliver voice or typed queries on the big screen.

Overview

  • Perplexity’s TV app is live now on all 2025 Samsung TVs, with 2023–2024 sets slated to receive it via an OS/OTA update later this year.
  • Users can redeem a free 12‑month Perplexity Pro subscription by scanning the QR code shown during the app’s first launch.
  • The app can be opened from the TV’s Apps tab or through Vision AI Companion by pressing the AI button on compatible remotes.
  • Voice queries require granting microphone access, while typed input works via the on‑screen keyboard or a connected USB keyboard.
  • The rollout expands TV-based generative search as Perplexity continues to face reported scraping and copyright lawsuits.
