FULL STORY ====================================================================== Google Gemini is moving into your televisions today, starting with the TCL QM9K series. Viewers aren't just going to get some smarter voice commands with the upgrade, either. Gemini will function as a full-blown conversational partner on your big screen. Google boasts that Gemini will assist in everything from helping you decide what to watch based on your general vibe to summarizing the last season of a show you last watched three years ago. It will also make your TV more of a generalized smart screen, offering recipes and educational lessons for kids. Unlike the Google Assistant already on many TVs, Gemini isnt just about executing commands. Its about understanding context and engaging in back-and-forth conversations. You dont need to remember the name of a show or speak in keyword-ese. As the example suggests, you can just say, Whats that new hospital drama everyones talking about? and Gemini will offer suggestions like The Pitt , complete with trailers and reviews. You can follow up by asking about reviews or appropriateness for kids, or any other detail you want. Google is also keen to hype Gemini's educational abilities. You can ask about black holes and how they form, but in a way a third grader would understand, and itll deliver a tailored answer, and perhaps even a relevant YouTube video. The same goes for things adults might want to learn, like how to play a musical instrument or make a tray of brownies. After the initial TCL rollout, Gemini will head to a still-growing list of Google TV devices later this year, including the new Google TV Streamer. Your own TV probably won't be able to handle it simply due to hardware requirements. Geminis on-TV performance needs computing muscle to provide real-time voice processing, contextual understanding, and video integration. Smart TVs, AI environments (Image credit: Google) Gemini's TV functions may sound familiar if youve used Gemini on your phone or laptop, but it continues Google's ambition to make its AI omnipresent in your life. The dream of 'ambient computing' and an environment built around AI is not happening tomorrow, but it might be closer than you'd expect. And it's not a one-lane race. Google is keen to have an edge in the battle of smart TV assistants. Microsoft is collaborating with Samsung to embed its Copilot AI in Samsung TVs, while LG is building out its own voice AI, and Amazon is making TVs a central hub for its new edition of Alexa. Whoever controls the living room AI experience may very well shape our daily tech habits for the next decade. Search, shopping, scheduling, and learning are all up for grabs because TVs arent just for entertainment anymore. Google wants Gemini to be wherever you are, so the TV is the next logical step. Whether we're ready to talk back to our TVs is another matter.
