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 a larger number of models and brands.
This is another front in the battle for dominance in the world of AI assistants. Gemini will compete with Amazon Alexa+, the revamped Bixby from Samsung, and the upcoming enhanced Siri from Apple.
What can Gemini do on TVs?
– “Today we are introducing Gemini on televisions. Everything that Google Assistant has done so far continues to work, but Gemini takes it a step further. It enables a natural conversation with the big screen – from searching for a show for the evening to planning a family outing and even helping with homework. Just say Hey Google or press the microphone button on the remote” – emphasized Shalini GovilPai, VP of Google TV.
FlatpanelsHD, which had the opportunity to test Gemini earlier, notes that while some queries still end up searching on YouTube, it is still a step forward compared to the classic Google Assistant.
Examples of Using Gemini
Movie Night Without Arguments: “Find something to watch with my wife. I prefer dramas, she likes light comedies.”
Quick Recap of the Plot: “What happened in the last season of Outlander?”
When You Can'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, recipes, or general information.
Where is Gemini already available?
At launch, Gemini will appear in the TCL QM9K series (premiere in September 2025).
It will also be available this year on:
Google TV Streamer
Walmart onn. 4K Pro
Hisense 2025 (U7, U8, UX)
TCL 2025 (QM7K, QM8K, X11K)
Google also announces plans to expand Gemini's features to an even larger number of TVs – and today, 300 million active devices worldwide already use Google TV and Android TV.
It seems that televisions are becoming another platform where the AI battle is picking up speed – and it is Gemini that may set the direction for how our conversations with the big screen will look in the coming years.
