Google TV is about to receive a major upgrade, adding advanced Gemini AI, making it easier for you to talk to your TV and get the information you need when you need it.
At CES 2025, Google announced big changes to how we interact with our TVs later this year. The search giant revealed plans to bring its advanced Gemini AI to Google TV. As Mishaal Rahman writes in Android Police, the update will let users issue voice commands naturally without having to say “Hey Google” as usual.
The new feature isn’t just content search. You can also ask general questions, and Google TV can even pull answers from YouTube.
Plus, it works seamlessly with your smart home devices, so you can check your video doorbell or adjust your lights, and more.
While this upgrade may make older Google Assistant features feel outdated, it brings a smarter voice assistant. This new version will better understand your requests and provide a more useful experience.
According to Google, one of Gemini’s standout features is its ability to understand and respond to human speech in a supernatural way.
Unlike older versions of Google Assistant, which required precise wording and struggled to handle complex queries, Gemini shines by allowing smooth, natural conversations. It allows for better understanding and answers to more detailed questions.
By the end of 2025, the next generation of Google TV devices will combine intelligent software with innovative hardware to create a truly aware environment.
A big part of that will be proximity sensors in new TVs. For example, these sensors will cause the TV to automatically launch a photo slideshow when you walk into a room and switch to a personalized dashboard as you approach.
Since the launch of artificial intelligence in 2023, Google has been committed to involving Gemini in all fields. Next year, the company will focus on expanding Gemini further, rolling it out across all its products and making it better.
