FULL STORY
======================================================================Gemini 
for TV is coming to the Google TV Streamer, with updates rolling out today If 
your device is eligible for the update, you'll be able to have natural 
conversations with Gemini to search through the streamer's content Google 
also shared that you'll be able to use Gemini to 'bring learning to the 
biggest screen in your home' 

The Google Assistant phase-out is still underway and Gemini is about to reign 
supreme across Googles products  and the next one to get Geminis smarts is 
the Google TV Streamer. 

Google announced on Monday in a blog post that Gemini for TV is starting to 
roll out to Google TV Streamer over the next few weeks. The company first 
unveiled its plans to expand Gemini to select TCL devices in September, with 
the TCL QM9K being the first Google TV model to receive the upgrade. 

Now that Gemini is finally coming to the Google TV Streamer, users will be 
able to ask more advanced voice requests, with the company sharing that 
Gemini for TV isn't just for entertainment and packs a plethora of 
capabilities. 

Gemini for TV will now allow you to use your voice more naturally to access 
content on the Google TV Streamer. For example, if you and your partner or 
friend cant agree on a movie to stream, you can say to Gemini, "I like 
dramas, but my wife likes comedies. Whats a movie we can watch together?" and 
it will generate ideas for you  but thats not all. 

If one of your favorite TV shows is returning and you need a recap but want 
to avoid having to watch an entire season, try asking, "What happened at the 
end of Outlander last season?" and Gemini will bring you up to speed. 
Alternatively, if you cant remember the name of a popular title but want to 
check it out, you can use the prompt, "What's the new hospital drama 
everyone's talking about?" to find your next TV binge. 

As mentioned, Googles blog post shares that Gemini for TV stretches beyond 
entertainment, and youll also have the ability to Bring learning to the 
largest screen in your home, as the company puts it. You can do this by 
having Gemini explain certain educational topics to your young ones by 
asking, "Explain why volcanoes erupt to my third grader"  it can even guide 
you through recipes and DIY projects with YouTube videos. 

When Gemini for TV lands on your Google TV Streamer, youll be able to take 
advantage of its fresh update by using the microphone button on your remote. 
Additionally, you can check if the update is available on your Google TV 
Streamer device by going to Settings and into Accounts & Profiles. From 
there, select Voice Assistant and youll find an option for Gemini for TV if 
your device is eligible for the update.
