- Gemini for TV is coming to the Google TV streamer, with updates available today
- If your device is eligible for the update, you can have natural conversations with Gemini to explore the channel’s content.
- Google also said that with Gemini you can “bring learning to the biggest screen in your home.”
The launch of Google Assistant is still ongoing and Gemini is ready to replace Google products, and the next product that will benefit from Gemini’s intelligence is Google TV Streamer.
Googling announced in a blog post on Monday Gemini for TV will roll out to Google TV Streamer in the coming weeks. The company first revealed plans to extend Gemini to select TCL devices in September, with the TCL QM9K being the first Google TV model to receive the update.
Now that Gemini has finally arrived on the Google TV streamer, users can perform advanced voice searches. The company claims that “Gemini for TV is not just for entertainment” and offers a number of features.
With Gemini for TV, you can now use your voice more naturally to access content from Google TV Streamer. For example, if you and your partner or friend can’t agree on which movie to stream, you can tell the Gemini, “I like drama, but my wife likes comedies.” What movies can we watch together? and it will generate ideas for you, but that’s not all.
When one of your favorite shows comes back and you need a recap but want to avoid watching an entire season, you ask “What happened at the end of the last season of Outlander?” and Gemini will keep you informed. If you can’t remember the name of a popular title but still want to try it, you can also ask “What’s the new hospital drama everyone’s talking about?” ” to find your next binge watch.
As mentioned, Google shares on its blog that Gemini for TV goes beyond entertainment and also gives you the ability to “bring learning to the biggest screen in your home,” as the company says. You can do this by asking Gemini to explain some educational topics to your little ones by asking them: “Tell my third grader why volcanoes erupt”; It can also guide you through recipes and DIY projects with YouTube videos.
When Gemini for TV appears on your Google TV streamer, you can enjoy the new update using the microphone button on the remote control. You can also check if the update is available on your Google TV Streamer device by going to Settings and Accounts & Profiles. From there, select “Narrator” and you’ll find an option for “Gemini for TV” if your device is eligible for the update.
