Samsung's new TV remote lets you talk with AI about almost anything
"Samsung announces the availability of Vision AI Companion. Samsung is integrating its next-generation AI assistant directly into its 2025 TVs, featuring a dedicated AI button on the remote that provides access to conversational assistance -- not just standard voice commands. Called Vision AI Companion, the system is intelligent enough to engage in a natural, two-way dialogue with users, utilizing multiple AI models to support its cognitive capabilities."
"Weeks after Amazon brought Alexa+ to Fire TVs and Roku Voice is received an AI upgrade, Samsung is jumping on the bandwagon with its Vision AI Companion. The system integrates several AI models to deliver an upgraded version of Bixby, including those developed through partnerships with Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity, to provide voice-controlled search and answer capabilities, as well as support for 10 languages."
"For example, you could reach your Samsung Vision AI Companion with a press of the dedicated button on a compatible Samsung TV and ask the AI about a speaker in a documentary or news cast, then dive deeper into what other analysts think of their opinion -- all without pulling your phone out of your pocket. The AI assistant will be able to answer follow-up questions, maintaining the context of your conversation."
Samsung is adding Vision AI Companion to its 2025 TV lineup, enabling conversational, context-aware interactions via a dedicated AI button on the remote. The assistant engages in natural two-way dialogue and maintains conversation context for follow-up questions. Multiple AI models power its capabilities, including integrations with Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity, and it supports ten languages. The system builds on Bixby but promises a notably different experience with visual elements displayed on the TV. Use cases include asking about documentary speakers and diving into analysts' opinions without needing a phone. The feature focuses on deeper conversational search, not just simple streaming commands or quick Q&As.
