Google’s AI assistant, Gemini, is coming to your TV. On Monday, the company announced it’s introducing Gemini for Google TV, allowing TV owners to engage in free-flowing, natural language conversations with the AI.
When fully rolled out, this expansion of Gemini to a new platform will bring Google’s AI to over 300 million active Google TV and other Android TV OS-powered devices.
In terms of TV-related questions, Google suggests its Gemini AI could be used to help people with different interests settle on something to watch that they would both like, or to catch you up on what you missed in a past season of a favorite show. You could also get Gemini to help you find a movie or show when you can’t remember the title or ask about a title’s reviews to help determine if it’s worth watching.
However, because it’s Gemini, you can ask any other type of question, too, just as you could with the AI chatbot on your smartphone.
For instance, kids and parents could use the AI to get homework help or brainstorm school project ideas, families could use Gemini to plan their next vacation, or individual users could leverage the AI to teach themselves a new skill, among other things.

The company stresses that Gemini’s addition doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to do the same things you used to be able to do through the (non-AI) Google Assistant integration. Those commands will still work, says Google.
The Gemini rollout to Google TV begins on the TCL QM9K series, starting today.
Later in the year, Gemini will arrive on the Google TV Streamer; Walmart onn 4K Pro; 2025 Hisense U7, U8, and UX models; and 2025 TCL QM7K, QM8K, and X11K models. More functionality will be added over time.
