Google officially begins to implement Gemini on Google TV, and the first brand to offer this feature is TCL. In the coming months, the new assistant will appear on more models and brands.
This is another front in the battle for dominance in the world of AI assistants. Gemini will face Amazon Alexa+, the refreshed Bixby from Samsung, and the upcoming enhanced Siri from Apple.
What can Gemini do on televisions?
– “Today we are introducing Gemini on televisions. Everything that Google Assistant has done so far still works, but Gemini goes a step further. It allows for a free conversation with the large screen – from searching for a series for the evening, to planning a family trip, and even helping with homework. Just say Hey Google or press the microphone button on the remote” – emphasised Shalini GovilPai, VP Google TV.
FlatpanelsHD, which had the chance to test Gemini earlier, notes that although some queries still end with searches on YouTube, it is still a step forward compared to the classic Google Assistant.
Examples of Using Gemini
Film Night Without Disputes: “Find something to watch with my wife. I prefer dramas, she likes light comedies.”
Quick Reminder of the Plot: “What happened in the last season of Outlander?”
If You Don’t Remember the Title: “What’s that new medical series everyone is talking about?” Gemini will suggest options – for example, The Pitt.
You can also ask for reviews, weather, cooking recipes, or general information.
Where is Gemini already available?
At launch, Gemini will be available on the TCL QM9K series (premiere in September 2025).
This year, it will also be featured on:
Google TV Streamer
Walmart onn. 4K Pro
Hisense 2025 (U7, U8, UX)
TCL 2025 (QM7K, QM8K, X11K)
Google also announces the expansion of Gemini's features to an even greater number of televisions – and today, 300 million active devices worldwide are already using Google TV and Android TV.
It seems that televisions are becoming another platform where the battle over AI is gaining momentum – and it is Gemini that may shape how our conversations with the big screen will look in the coming years.
