Google TV has introduced Gemini AI for smarter, conversational search, hands-free control, and personalised smart home features. (Google)

Google is reshaping the TV viewing experience with the introduction of Gemini, its latest AI-powered upgrade for Google TV. Unveiled at CES 2025, this enhancement brings a range of smarter features aimed at transforming how users search for content and control their smart homes. The update, expected later this year, will roll out on select Google TV devices.

The standout feature of Gemini is the conversational search capability, which allows users to interact with Google TV in a natural, intuitive way. Gone are the days of rigid voice commands like "Hey Google." Users can now ask questions like, "Show me movies with Tom Hanks," or "What's the weather like this weekend?" and receive relevant results, such as movie listings or weather forecasts, directly on the screen. Even broader inquiries like "What are some fun family activities?" or "Find a documentary about space exploration?" are handled with ease, drawing content from YouTube and other streaming services.
