Google recently announced that its newly launched Gemini AI assistant has officially been integrated into the Google TV smart television platform. The initial supported devices are the latest TCL QM9K series TVs, with expansion to more Google TV system-enabled TVs and streaming boxes expected within this year. This major upgrade opens up a more rich interactive experience for Google TV users.
Users can simply use the voice command "Hey Google" or press the microphone button on the remote control to engage in free conversation with the Gemini AI assistant. Compared to the previous Google Assistant, Gemini not only performs basic operations such as on-demand TV shows and program searches, but also intelligently recommends programs based on users' descriptions of plot details, preferred genres, and trending shows. Additionally, users can ask Gemini to catch up on episodes they have missed while watching a series, ensuring they don't miss any exciting moments.
In the official blog, Google showcased various application scenarios for Gemini. For example, users can ask Gemini to recommend family-friendly programs or suggest viewing options based on recently popular shows. In addition to program recommendations, Gemini can also answer broader questions, such as "Why do volcanoes erupt?" or "Can you recommend a dessert that can be made in an hour?" For these questions, Gemini provides detailed voice answers and synchronizes related YouTube video resources, allowing users to access more information.
Aside from the TCL QM9K series, Google has confirmed that Gemini will be available on other devices within the year, including the already released Google TV Streamer4K, Walmart Onn4K Pro, as well as some models of Hisense and TCL in 2025. It is worth noting that at the 2025 CES exhibition, Samsung and LG also announced that they will introduce Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant in their new smart TVs, indicating that the market for AI TV assistants is becoming increasingly competitive.
The launch of the Gemini AI assistant not only enhances the user experience of Google TV, but also brings new possibilities to users' viewing habits, making smart TVs no longer just a one-way information output, but a "smart partner" capable of deep interaction.
