What Does a Personal Assistant Phone Actually Do?

A personal assistant phone should save time and effort when it comes to everyday tasks. The pre-installed AI Assistants in the Galaxy S26 series can now work across multiple apps to streamline your experience. For example, you can use Search + Calendar to find sports game schedules and set a calendar reminder without any hassle. Or perhaps your friend’s text requires a bit of online searching – with Galaxy S26 Ultra , you can instantly find information with quick help from Google AI Assistants and send it to who you want.

Why Galaxy AI Makes a Great Personal Assistant

Alongside the great features already mentioned, the new Galaxy S26 Series devices proactively offer AI assistance in meaningful moments – before you even ask. It understands content and context, adapting on the fly just like you do. Now Nudge¹ acts as your personal digital PA on the Galaxy S26 & S26 Plus, as well as the Galaxy S26 Ultra models, working in the background to give you quick answers, personalised insights and smart recommendations based on your activity. It can suggest replies based on your schedule while you’re texting or help you share the right photo at the right moment. Forget digging through information when filling out tedious forms as well, as Now Nudge can pull up details in an instant to accurately autofill details.

The Now Bar and Now Brief² have also had an upgrade, surfacing contextually relevant notifications, learning opportunities, travel updates and even suggestions for the right tunes to play in the moment. Now Brief gives you a real head start, providing a detailed breakdown of your day ahead while the new and improved Circle to Search with Google³ boasts multi-item lookup, giving you multiple answers at once.

With the Galaxy S26 Series, you don’t even have to open apps to get things just the way you like them. Just call on Bixby⁴ and ask it anything about your device settings – it’s like having your own personal IT troubleshooter on call.
