Google has officially announced that its Gemini AI assistant is coming to Google TV, marking another major step in the company’s AI integration across devices. Already available on smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and Workspace apps, Gemini will now replace Google Assistant on smart TVs, enhancing both content discovery and the overall viewing experience.

For now, Gemini is only available on the recently launched TCL QM9K series. By the end of 2025, it will expand to the Google TV Streamer, Walmart onn. 4K Pro, 2025 Hisense U7/U8/UX models, and the TCL QM7K, QM8K, and X11K models. Support for older devices is expected later.

Gemini brings a more personalised AI-driven content discovery system to Google TV. Some of the highlights include:

- Mood and genre-based suggestions for movies, shows, and web series

- Mixed-genre recommendations for group viewing (e.g., combining comedy and drama to satisfy everyone’s taste)

- Natural language understanding to find content even when users only provide vague descriptions
