Google believes AI can improve the TV-watching experience, which is why it brought its Gemini AI to Google TV devices<\/a> in November. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) in Las Vegas, the company is now showing off a series of new Gemini features that will soon arrive on the TV, making it possible for viewers to deep dive into topics, search for and \u201creimagine\u201d their personal photos and videos with AI, and, perhaps best of all, tell the TV what to do instead of having to navigate through complicated settings. <\/p>\n

The company is first bringing these Gemini features and others to select TCL televisions before rolling them out more broadly to other Google TV devices in the months ahead. <\/p>\n

Designed for large-screen experiences, Gemini for Google TV will allow users to talk to their TV to find something to watch, catch up on a favorite series by getting a recap of the plot, or get recommendations, all by using natural language conversation. For instance, you could ask Gemini for something to watch that would be a blend of two people\u2019s tastes, or get help remembering a show or movie where you can\u2019t remember the title, but can describe the plot or name one of the actors. <\/p>\n

You could even ask Google something like, \u201cWhat\u2019s the new hospital drama everyone\u2019s talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n

Gemini can respond to users\u2019 questions through a new visually rich framework that adapts to individual queries, combining text, imagery, video context, and real-time sports updates, as required. <\/p>\n

But Google sees the potential for the TV\u2019s screen to be used for more than just entertainment; with Gemini, the TV can be used to educate, too. <\/p>\n

At CES, Google showed how this would work. When users ask a question about something they want to learn about, the TV screen can offer a deep dive into the topic. A narrated interactive overview simplifies concepts, and users can ask follow-up questions to learn more.<\/p>\n

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 cinematic slideshows, says Google.<\/p>\n

However, perhaps the most useful feature is one that gives you the power to optimize the TV\u2019s settings using only your voice.<\/p>\n

Now, you\u2019ll be able to tell Gemini things like \u201cthe screen is too dim\u201d or \u201cI can\u2019t hear the dialogue,\u201d and Gemini will adjust the relevant settings without you having to leave the movie or TV show you\u2019re watching to dig through menus to find the necessary option. <\/p>\n

Google says the new Gemini features will require the Google TV devices to be running Android TV OS 14 or higher, and they will need an internet connection. Not all languages, countries, or devices will be supported at launch, and users must also have a Google account to access the Gemini for TV experience. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
