TL;DR
- Gemini is now officially available for Google TV, replacing the current Google Assistant integration.
- Currently, Gemini on Google TV is only available for the new TCL QM9K series of televisions.
- Gemini is coming to additional devices “later this year,” including the Google TV Streamer, Hisense TVs, and more.
Google’s ongoing quest to remove any lingering trace of Google Assistant and replace it with Gemini continues. As of September 22, Gemini is now live for Google TV, bringing Google’s current AI assistant to the big screen.
Gemini will be able to perform all of the current features you already use Google Assistant on Google TV for, such as searching for TV shows/movies, controlling media playback, looking up sports scores, etc. However, you now have the extra flexibility to issue more complex requests while speaking more naturally.
