Agentic Tasks

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series integrates Google’s Gemini AI for agentic tasks, enhancing smartphone strategy. This move positions Gemini prominently, even as it’s slated to power Apple’s Siri. The S26 features Gemini for cross-app actions, Perplexity for web searches, and an upgraded Bixby. Notably, Gemini can now perform autonomous actions within third-party apps, a significant leap from previous models. This collaboration highlights the intense AI competition and Samsung’s role as a key distribution channel for Google’s consumer AI, preceding Apple’s own Gemini-powered Siri upgrade.
