- Gemini for TV comes to Google TV Streamer, with updates rolling out today
- If your device is eligible for the update, you will be able to have natural conversations with Gemini to search through the streamer’s content
- Google also announced that you’ll be able to use Gemini to “bring learning to the biggest screen in your home.”
The phasing out of Google Assistant is still underway and Gemini is poised to reign supreme over Google products – and the next to benefit from Gemini’s intelligence is the Google TV Streamer.
Google announced in a blog post on Monday that Gemini for TV will begin rolling out to Google TV Streamer in the coming weeks. The company first revealed plans to expand Gemini to select TCL devices in September, with the TCL QM9K being the first Google TV model to receive the upgrade.
Now that Gemini is finally coming to Google TV Streamer, users will be able to ask more advanced voice queries, with the company sharing that “Gemini for TV is not just for entertainment” and offers a plethora of features.
Gemini for TV will now allow you to use your voice in a more natural way to access Google TV Streamer content. For example, if you and your partner or friend can’t agree on a movie to stream, you can tell Gemini, “I like dramas, but my wife likes comedies.” What movie can we watch together? and it will generate ideas for you – but that’s not all.
If one of your favorite TV shows is returning and you need a recap but want to avoid watching an entire season, try asking, “What happened at the end of last season of ‘Outlander’?” and Gemini will update you. Alternatively, if you don’t remember the name of a popular title but want to look it up, you can use the question “What new hospital drama is everyone talking about?” » to find your next TV binge.
As mentioned, Google’s blog post says that Gemini for TV goes beyond entertainment and you’ll also have the ability to “bring learning to the biggest screen in your home,” as the company puts it. You can do this by asking Gemini to explain certain educational topics to your young ones by asking, “Explain why volcanoes erupt to my third grader” – it can even guide you through recipes and DIY projects with YouTube videos.
When Gemini for TV arrives on your Google TV Streamer, you will be able to enjoy its new update using the microphone button on your remote control. Additionally, you can check if the update is available on your Google TV Streamer device by going to Settings and “Accounts & Profiles”. From there, select “Voice Assistant” and you’ll find an option for “Gemini for TV” if your device is eligible for the update.
