- The new Perplexity application will arrive on all Samsung televisions in 2025
- Owners of 2023 and 2024 Samsung TVs will get the new app later this year
- The app includes a free 12-month Perplexity Pro subscription
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 operating system update.
If you’ve never heard of Perplexity, consider it a version of ChatGPT that focuses more on finding answers to your questions through web searches. In fact, Perplexity describes itself as an “answer engine.” It is designed to search for credible sources in real time to give you accurate answers.
This new app will turn your TV into more than just a screen – it could become a super smart 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, vice president of business at Perplexity.
“The first-of-its-kind app based on Perplexity AI, 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 at Samsung Electronics.
How the Perplexity app works
The new Perplexity app is easy to use, just find it in the Apps tab or through Samsung’s Vision AI Companion (which you can access via the AI button). Once you have accepted the terms and conditions, you are ready to chat with the AI. You can ask for basically anything, from what to watch on Halloween to help with everyday tasks.
The app uses voice commands by default, 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.
Perplexity results appear as high-quality, easy-to-read cards designed specifically to be read on your Samsung TV.
12 months of Pro
Samsung’s Vision AI Companion was launched at IFA 2025 and is designed to integrate Samsung’s most advanced AI features into a seamless experience.
The 12-month Pro subscription will be available to everyone via a QR code in the app, which you can scan with your phone. The Perplexity Pro experience differs from regular Perplexity because you get access to Pro searches using GPT-5, Claude Sonnet 4.5, or Gemini 2.5 Pro. You also get access to research mode for detailed reports and can create images.
