It looks like one possible effect of the ongoing antitrust trials is that the traditional big tech markets are opening a bit. There was news that Perplexity worked out a deal to replace Gemini on certain Android phones.
According to Bloomberg, Perplexity has already inked a deal with Motorola to integrate its assistant into the company’s smartphones as an alternative to Gemini. Talks with Samsung are reportedly still in the early stages, but the deal could involve giving users the option to set Perplexity as the default AI assistant or having the app preloaded on Samsung devices.
