Google is integrating its Gemini AI into Google TV and other Android TV OS devices, impacting over 300 million active devices. Gemini on TV allows for natural language conversations, activated by voice or remote. Users can ask for viewing recommendations based on preferences, get summaries of previous seasons, and even ask general knowledge questions.
Currently, Gemini is available on TCL QM9K series TVs. Google plans to expand the rollout to more devices, including the Google TV Streamer, Hisense TVs, and Walmart's onn 4K Pro. The aim is to provide a more intuitive interface for interacting with TVs, moving beyond simple commands to more complex and nuanced requests. This includes finding content based on combined preferences or vague descriptions.
Gemini's integration also extends beyond entertainment, offering assistance with tasks like planning trips or answering homework questions, complete with supporting YouTube videos. This move reflects Google's broader strategy of incorporating AI across various aspects of daily life, enhancing the functionality and user experience of smart TVs.
