- New Google TV devices will have far-field microphones that make it easier to start conversations with the voice assistant.

Get ready to start talking to your Google TV’s voice assistant more in the near future. The tech giant is integrating Gemini models with the voice assistant and giving Google TV devices new hardware to make it easier to initiate a conversation.
At CES, the Mountain View-based firm announced a few changes coming to Google TV devices. Just as it did for its smart speakers, Google TV’s voice assistant is getting Gemini integration. This move is aimed at allowing users to have more natural conversations with their TVs. This means you won’t have to say “Hey, Google” after every question.
