Google Unveils Next-Generation Gemini Features for TVs at CES 2026
To enhance the TV experience, Google has introduced its Gemini AI to Google TV devices. At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the company is previewing new Gemini capabilities coming soon. These features will allow viewers to explore topics in depth, search and creatively enhance personal photos and videos with AI, and perhaps most conveniently, control the TV using voice commands instead of navigating complex menus.
These Gemini features will debut on select TCL televisions before expanding to other Google TV devices in the coming months.
Gemini for Google TV is built for big screens, letting users converse naturally with their TV. You can ask for show recommendations, get a plot recap to catch up on a series, or find something to watch. For example, ask for a movie that blends two different tastes, or describe an actor or plot detail to recall a forgotten title.
You could even ask, "What's the new hospital drama everyone is discussing?"

Google envisions the TV screen as more than an entertainment hub; with Gemini, it becomes an educational tool.
At CES, Google demonstrated how this works: Ask a question about any topic, and the TV provides an interactive deep dive. A narrated overview explains concepts simply, and you can ask follow-up questions to learn more.

Now you can tell Gemini, "The screen is too dim" or "I can't hear the dialogue," and it will tweak the relevant settings automatically. You won't need to pause your show to hunt through menus.
