Samsung has announced the launch of the first-ever Perplexity AI-powered TV app. The Perplexity TV App is now available on all 2025 Samsung TVs and will be coming to 2023 and 2024 TVs with the latest OS upgrade later this year. As a bonus, Perplexity is offering a 12-month subscription to Perplexity Pro for all users, you just need to scan the QR code on the TV app to redeem.
For those that don’t know what Perplexity is, it is an AI-first search engine. It was able to search the web well before ChatGPT, greatly increasing its use cases. While rivals now offer this, Perplexity is still going strong and adding interesting new features.
To access Perplexity TV, just go to the Apps Tab and open the app or go to Samsung’s Vision AI Companion, via the AI Button. To use the app, users must accept the terms and conditions and allow Perplexity to access their microphones before using the AI voice component. For those who don’t want to use their voice, an onscreen keyboard or USB keyboard can be used to search within the app.
“The first-of-its-kind Perplexity AI-powered app, now available only on Samsung TVs, broadens our Vision AI Platform offering for a more unique and personalized user experience,” said Dan Glassman, Senior Director & Head of New Business Development for Samsung Electronics. “Samsung continually brings innovative and first-to-market experiences to our device owners, and this partnership with Perplexity is the latest that will deliver cutting-edge AI technology, redefining how Samsung owners interact with their TVs.”
“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-driven interfaces,” said Ryan Foutty, VP of Business at Perplexity. “Samsung is the number one television brand in the world, and we are excited to bring the functionality that Perplexity users know and trust to Samsung’s television screens and device owners around the world.”
So, even if you don’t care too much for running Perplexity on your TV, if you are a user, this development is a good way to get yourself 12 months of Perplexity Pro for free. If you do decide to use it on the TV, you should be able to ask any question and get a response quickly.
