Gemini for TV is Now Rolling Out to the Google TV Streamer

Google is expanding the availability of its Gemini for TV assistant, which is set to replace the Google Assistant on devices running Google TV. Starting today, Gemini for Google TV is rolling out to users of the Google TV Streamer in the US and Canada.

Gemini for Google TV was announced back in September, and it was first made available on TCL’s QM9K smart TV series. Google previously explained that Gemini could do everything its existing Google Assistant could do, but it would allow users to engage in more natural free-flowing conversations. Gemini can also better understand what users want to watch, summarize what happened in the last season of a show, and more.

The new assistant isn’t restricted to entertainment-related questions, however: It can answer questions about any topics and help users learn new skills by surfacing relevant YouTube videos.

Google said today that the full Gemini rollout on Google TV Streamer devices will take place over the next few weeks. Users will be able to summon Gemini by just pressing their remote’s microphone button, just as it currently works for the existing Google Assistant.

Amazon is still offering a 25% discount on the Google TV Streamer, and you can get one for $75 for a limited time. Google previously said that more Google TV devices should receive the new Gemini for Google TV experience before the end of the year, including the Walmart Onn 4K Pro, 2025 Hisense U7, U8, and UX models, and 2025 TCL QM7K, QM8K, and X11K models.
