Google announced that it’s integrating its AI assistant, Google Gemini, with Google TV devices – starting with TCL TVs later this year.
The expansion was announced at its Android Show yesterday along with a host of other new features. In addition to teasing a new look of Android 16, Google revealed that Gemini’s smarts will be coming to devices with Google TV, cars with built-in Google and Android Auto, and its line of WearOS smartwatches.
At the moment Google is keeping the exact roll-out date under-wraps, but the company has stated that Gemini support for Google TV will be rolled out to TCL TVs first, with other devices to follow.

When Gemini makes its Google TV debut, it will replace the previous Google Assistant tool but will continue to offer content recommendations based on your voice commands. According to Google’s blog post you can use prompts such as ‘show me action movies that are age-appropriate for kids’.
