Google’s Gemini Assistant is Coming to Google TV

Google is starting to roll out its Gemini assistant to select smart TVs running its Google TV platform. Google Gemini on Google TV will upgrade the existing Google Assistant experience by allowing users to find content to watch and more using natural language prompts.

“Everything you already do with Google Assistant still works, but Gemini on Google TV goes beyond simple commands and lets you engage in free-flowing conversations with your big screen. Get help finding the perfect show for whatever mood you’re in, brainstorm a family trip or answer complex homework questions,” explained Shalini GovilPai
VP, Google TV.

In the blog post detailing the new Gemini for Google TV experience, GovilPai shared a couple of prompts to try with the new assistant, such as asking it what happened in the last season of a specific show, or finding a show by describing its setting and characters. Unlike the existing Google Assistant, Google Gemini can also respond to follow-up questions.

Gemini on Google TV isn’t limited to answering questions about entertainment content. Just like Gemini on other platforms, the assistant can answer questions about anything, surface videos to make its response more helpful, and more.

Google’s Gemini assistant is available today on the TCL QM9K series, and it will be rolling out to the Google TV Streamer, Walmart Onn 4K Pro, 2025 Hisense U7, U8, and UX models, and 2025 TCL QM7K, QM8K, and X11K models later this year. Users will just need to say “Hey Google” or press the microphone button on their TV remote to launch the assistant.
