The next phase of AI will bring us more personal AI assistant experiences than we’ve had before. The writing is already on the wall, and we’re just waiting for the execution. Google has Gemini Live, and we saw a slew of Project Astra features that are in development. Then there’s the smarter Siri experience in Apple Intelligence, which Apple delayed, but it’s coming nonetheless.
OpenAI is working on a ChatGPT super-assistant of its own that should be available on the dedicated ChatGPT io hardware as well as on mobile devices.
These won’t be the only personal AI experiences in town, since other AI firms will aim to offer similar companions.
One of them is Samsung, which has its own powerful suite of AI features for mobile devices. Called Galaxy AI, it’s a mix of Samsung’s own AI tech and several partnerships the Korean giant has inked with others. Google is the main one, as Galaxy phones come with several Google AI features, including Circle to Search and Gemini Live.
Samsung doesn’t have a personal AI assistant of its own, though it has hinted in the past that it plans to develop such experiences for Bixby.
It turns out that Samsung’s massive partnership with Google and its internal AI development plans aren’t the only things the company is considering. Samsung is reportedly looking to ink a big AI deal with Perplexity, which would turn the latter into the default AI assistant on future Galaxy phones, starting with the Galaxy S26 series launching next January.
