Google believes that AI can improve TV viewing, and that’s why it introduced it Gemini AI to Google TV devices in November. Pa The cost of CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the company is now showing a series of new Gemini products that will soon arrive on TV, which allows viewers to go deeper into the subjects, explore and “rethink” their photos and videos with AI, and, perhaps most of all, tell the TV what to do instead of wandering around in complex settings.
The company is starting to bring the Gemini and other features to select TCL TVs before rolling them out more widely to other Google TV devices in the coming months.
Designed for big events, Gemini for Google TV allows users to talk to their TV to find something to watch, to get a list of their favorites by getting a preview of the plot, or to receive suggestions, using natural language. For example, you can ask Gemini to give you something to watch that may be a mix of two people’s interests, or get help remembering a play or movie where you can’t remember the title, but they can explain the plot or name one of the actors.
You can also ask Google something like, “When is the new medical drama everyone is talking about?”
Gemini can answer users’ questions through a new visual interface that adapts to each question, including text, images, video clips, and real-time game updates, as needed.
But Google sees the potential of the TV screen for more than just entertainment; and Gemini, TV can be used to teach, too.
At CES, Google showed how this could work. When users ask a question about what they want to learn, the TV app can dive deeper into the topic. Brief explanations make ideas easier, and users can ask follow-up questions to get more information.
Gemini will also allow users to query their Google Photos library for specific people or moments. They can also apply artistic styles to their photos and videos using Gemini AI and turn their memories into video clips, Google says.
However, perhaps the most useful feature is that it gives you the power to control the TV settings using just your voice.
Now, you’ll be able to tell Gemini things like “the screen is too dark” or “I can’t hear the conversation,” and Gemini will adjust the appropriate settings without leaving the movie or TV show you’re watching to search through menus to find the right setting.
Google says the new Gemini feature will require Google TV devices to run Android TV OS 14 or higher, and will require an internet connection. Not all languages, countries, or devices will be supported at launch, and users must also have a Google account to access Gemini on TV.
