Sources speaking to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman say Perplexity has a deal with Motorola to feature its AI assistant alongside Google’s Gemini as an option. Motorola will have a special user interface to interact with Perplexity to encourage customers to try it, and the company will feature Perplexity in marketing.
Perplexity Assistant is also reportedly coming to Samsung devices, although talks are still early, according to Bloomberg’s sources. It’s hard to know how advanced those conversations are, but it’s easy to understand why Perplexity would want to work out a deal to get its assistant set up as the default one on Galaxy devices, or at least as an option for users to preload. Samsung already uses Gemini as its default AI assistant and Google as its main search engine provider.
Correction, April 17th: A previous version of this article said Motorola is announcing the Razr this week. It is next week.
