Google’s AI chatbot Gemini is heading to your television. On September 22, the company revealed the introduction of Gemini, the AI alternative to Google Assistant, on Google TV. There are currently some restrictions on where Gemini can be used, but Google has provided a detailed list of features that the AI-driven assistant will bring to your TV.
To begin with, Google claims that Gemini will deliver “effortless entertainment” by streamlining the search for movies and shows that you and your family members will appreciate. You can ask Gemini to locate a film that both you and your partner will enjoy, setting specific criteria to ensure the chatbot picks the suitable content.
Moreover, if you enjoy binge-watching and wait for a full season to be released before viewing, you likely understand the difficulty of locating a recap that emphasizes what you need to remember from the previous season. Gemini can aid with this by supplying a summary of events from the last season of any series. This marks the latest enhancement for Gemini, which previously became accessible as an in-browser assistant in Chrome.
Gemini’s features do not stop there. Google also points out that the AI can assist in finding shows and movies whose titles you can’t remember. If you’re unable to recall the name of a series you’ve been wanting to watch, you can describe it to Gemini, and the chatbot will make an informed guess about what you’re seeking, just like it would on your smartphone or computer.
Google further highlights that you can utilize Gemini on Google TV for educational purposes. You can pose questions to Gemini regarding school assignments or new skills you wish to acquire and await a response. If you’re looking for cooking ideas, you can ask Gemini to help you come up with simple recipes based on the ingredients you have on hand.
As is usual for Google launches, Gemini on Google TV won’t be accessible on every Google TV instance right away. It will be available on the TCL QM9K series starting this week, with more devices like the Google TV Streamer expected to get Gemini later this year, along with TVs such as the 2025 Hisense U7, U8, and UX models, as well as the 2025 TCL QM7K, QM8K, and X11K models.
