The introduction of Gemini on Google TV has been a significant innovation compared to the now-deprecated Google Assistant. This allows users to give Gemini more complex natural language commands suitable for the TV platform. For example, you can ask Gemini about the new medical drama everyone is talking about, or find something to watch considering two preferred genres (e.g., comedy and drama).
Redaksiya reports that Google announced at CES 2026 its intention to make Gemini more useful for televisions and expand it to more platforms. These innovations aim to further improve the user's television experience.
The enhancement of Gemini's functionality on TVs will allow users to get more out of their televisions. This will provide benefits such as more intuitive searches, more personalized recommendations, and easier control. Google's move is aimed at strengthening the role of digital assistants in the television ecosystem. Detailed information on when these innovations will be implemented and on which platforms they will be available has not yet been disclosed.
