Gemini for TV Starts Rolling Out to Google TV Streamer

Google has officially begun rolling out Gemini for TV to its Google TV Streamer, marking the start of a new era in smart TV experiences. The update replaces Google Assistant with Gemini, bringing more natural and conversational interactions to your living room.

The rollout will continue over the next few weeks and is part of Google’s broader plan to integrate Gemini across all its devices and platforms.

From Assistant to Gemini: A Smarter Way to Watch

With Gemini for TV, finding what to watch becomes more intuitive. Instead of browsing through endless menus, users can now speak naturally to their TV.

For instance, you can say, “I like dramas but my wife likes comedies. What’s a movie we can watch together?” and Gemini will instantly suggest titles that suit both tastes.

You can even ask contextual questions like, “What happened at the end of Outlander last season?” or “What’s the new hospital drama everyone’s talking about?” Gemini understands the context, making it easier than ever to discover, catch up, or explore trending content.

Bringing Learning and Help to the Big Screen

Gemini for TV isn’t just about entertainment. It also brings interactive learning and everyday help to your television.

Parents can ask, “Explain why volcanoes erupt to my third grader,” and Gemini will deliver an age-appropriate answer — often paired with YouTube videos for visual learning. You can also ask Gemini to guide you through cooking recipes or home improvement tasks step-by-step.

All it takes is pressing the microphone button on your Google TV remote to start a conversation.

Expanding to More Devices

This rollout follows Google’s earlier announcement from September, when Gemini for Google TV debuted on select TCL devices. The company confirmed that Gemini would arrive later this year on the 2025 Hisense U7, U8, and UX models, along with the TCL QM7K, QM8K, and X11K series.

In addition to Google TV Streamer, Walmart’s Onn 4K Pro streaming device already supports Gemini, showing Google’s push to bring its AI assistant to a wider audience.

Part of Google’s AI Transformation

Google’s move to replace Assistant with Gemini across products has been in progress since CES 2025, where the company promised deeper AI integration in Android, Chrome, and TV.

The Gemini rollout on Google TV Streamer signals how AI is becoming central to home entertainment—turning a TV into an intelligent companion that helps you find, learn, and enjoy content with natural ease.

The Future of Google TV

As Gemini continues to expand, it will likely make smart TVs more conversational and capable. This update not only enhances how viewers interact with content but also reflects Google’s vision of building a more unified AI experience across all devices.
