Welcome to The Prompt by Kuro House, your daily AI update. Today, we’ve got some fascinating developments from Samsung, India, Google, and even outer space. Let’s dive right in.
First up, Samsung is shaking up how we interact with AI on our phones. According to The Verge, Galaxy S26 users will soon be able to summon Perplexity by simply saying “hey, Plex.” This new integration is part of Samsung’s vision for a multi-agent AI ecosystem, allowing users to choose the AI assistant that fits their needs best. Perplexity won’t just be a basic app; it will have access to Samsung Notes, Clock, Gallery, Reminder, Calendar, and some third-party apps. This move aims to differentiate Samsung from competitors like Apple and Google by giving users more freedom.
Next, the India AI Impact Summit is making waves with massive investments and partnerships. TechCrunch reports that India has earmarked $1.1 billion for a state-backed venture capital fund targeting AI and advanced manufacturing startups. OpenAI’s Sam Altman revealed that India has over 100 million weekly active ChatGPT users, second only to the U.S., and is home to the most students using ChatGPT worldwide. Meanwhile, Indian conglomerate Adani plans to invest $100 billion in AI data centers powered by renewable energy by 2035. The summit also saw collaborations like Anthropic opening an office in Bengaluru and partnering with Infosys to deploy AI tools in telecom. Plus, several Indian startups launched new AI models and devices, including Sarvam’s smart glasses and Indus, a ChatGPT competitor supporting multiple Indian languages.
In event news, TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is just around the corner, and time is running out to grab the lowest ticket prices. The event will take place October 13th to 15th in San Francisco, gathering 10,000 founders, investors, and operators. With over 300 startups exhibiting and a $100,000 equity-free prize for the Startup Battlefield winner, it’s a must-attend for anyone serious about tech innovation. Speakers include WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg, GM CEO Mary Barra, and legendary VC Vinod Khosla. If you want to save up to $680 on individual passes or get 30% off community passes, you have just six days left to register before prices go up.
Now, if you’re tired of Google’s AI summaries cluttering your search results, there’s a neat trick to hide them. WIRED explains that by adding an en dash followed by “ai” at the end of your Google search query, you can block AI Overviews from appearing. For example, typing “best laptops –ai” will show traditional search results without the AI-generated summaries. This trick currently works best on desktop browsers and some Android devices but not consistently on iOS apps. Alternatively, switching to search engines like DuckDuckGo or Brave lets you toggle AI summaries on or off. It’s a simple way to regain control over your search experience amid the growing AI presence online.
Finally, let’s look at a wild idea: moving AI data centers to outer space. WIRED explores the challenges and possibilities of building AI servers in orbit to tackle energy and water consumption issues on Earth. Space offers constant solar power and a cold environment for cooling, but the vacuum means heat must be radiated away, which is less efficient than on Earth. Scaling large data centers in space is tricky because volume grows faster than surface area, making cooling difficult for big setups. Experts suggest using swarms of small satellites instead of massive stations, but that raises concerns about space debris and cost. So while theoretically possible, the practicality of space-based AI data centers remains uncertain.
That’s a wrap for today’s AI highlights. From phone assistants to space-bound data centers, AI continues to reshape our world in surprising ways. Thanks for tuning in to The Prompt by Kuro House. Catch you tomorrow for more AI insights.
