Samsung is reportedly in the final stages of negotiating a wide-ranging deal with Perplexity to deeply integrate the AI company's technology into its devices. This move could potentially see Perplexity AI becoming the default AI chatbot on the Galaxy S26 series, possibly replacing Google Gemini. The integration may also extend to Samsung's Bixby assistant and its web browser, aiming to enhance these features with more powerful AI-driven capabilities. This strategic shift indicates Samsung's interest in exploring alternatives to Google's AI offerings and potentially supercharging its own services with Perplexity's search functionality.
Perplexity has recently launched Labs, a new AI tool designed to help users create reports, dashboards, and web applications. This innovative tool is available for Pro subscribers and automates time-consuming tasks using AI research and code execution. Labs is equipped with capabilities such as web browsing, code execution, and chart and image creation, enabling it to handle diverse projects and transform ideas into finished deliverables. The new Labs feature includes a suite of tools specifically designed to turn ideas and to-dos into completed work, with the ability to perform sustained automated research for 10 minutes or more, accomplishing tasks that previously took days. Perplexity Labs stands out for its ability to execute code to structure datasets, apply formulas, and create various file types, including charts, images, and spreadsheets. It can also build and deploy simple interactive websites directly within the interface. The mini web apps feature is particularly ambitious, offering users the ability to create basic dashboards, slideshows, or data visualization tools without needing coding skills. The tool is designed to be self-supervised, working in the background to perform tasks ranging from marketing campaigns to business analysis.

Samsung's Ballie robot, a sphere-shaped home companion, is finally set to launch in the U.S. this summer, years after initial teases and revisions. The rolling bot, first introduced as a concept in 2020, has undergone numerous upgrades and is now equipped with advanced capabilities. This summer marks its official arrival to consumers after public showings at CES 2024 and 2025, promising to deliver on its initial vision of an AI-capable home assistant.
Ballie's functionality is greatly enhanced by its integration with Google Gemini, bringing generative AI to the robot's edge capabilities. This partnership allows Ballie to engage in natural conversational interactions with users, enabling it to manage home environments by adjusting lighting, greeting people at the door, personalizing schedules, and setting reminders. Ballie will also be able to offer health and style recommendations, as well as managing other smart devices in your home. Despite the excitement surrounding Ballie's release, some question whether the addition of Google Gemini truly enhances the robot's core functionalities. Critics suggest that many of the promised features, such as adjusting smart home devices or projecting videos, could already be achieved by Ballie without Gemini. Concerns have also been raised about pricing, with Samsung yet to release a number ahead of it's impending release.
