Google’s official annoucement of Gemini on Tvs

Gemini Is Making Your Tvs Smarter

  • Google Powered Gemini will now roll out on (started on September 22, 205) TCL QM9K TVs.
  • The update will soon be live on Google TV Streamer, Walmart onn 4K Pro, Hisense 2025 U7/U8/UX models, and TCL 2025 QM7K/QM8K/X11K TVs.
  • The announcement also affirmed that it will bring more features to these devices in the days to come. 

What It Does on TV:

Human-like interaction – You interact (like naturally talking to the TV like a person) in a natural tone with the Gemini on TV.

Shows and movie suggestions:

  • The AI will suggest shows and movies you’ll like.
  • Talk a little about what happened in the previous seasons.
  • Check the reviews directly on TV to see if the show is what you’ll like watching.
  • No more forgetting the names of the shows, the AI will help you find them with ease.

What More Can Gemini Do on Tvs

  • The AI will respond to you like it normally does on your phone or laptop.
  • You can plan a family trip or even ask the Gemini to answer your homework questions.
  • All you have to do is say “Hey Google” or press the audio button on the remote. 

Important Note:

  • No, this Gemini feature will not replace the old Google Assistant on your TV. Or make the TV any different from what it traditionally does. Commands like “turn on the TV” or “play music” will still work as it is.
  • The feature is still new, and once rolled out fully, it will be available on 300 million+ devices that use Google TV or Android TV OS.

It’s a TV plus:

  • Watch shows.
  • Learn.
  • Plan.
  • And interact, all with your voice.
