Google TV gets Gemini AI to help find content and answer questions: here’s how it works, supported TVs

Google has finally introduced Gemini on Google TV after announcing the feature at CES 2025. This allows users to engage in natural, conversational interactions on their TV screens. Unlike standard voice commands, Gemini can help users find shows, get summaries, and even provide learning support or kitchen tips, making it more than a simple search tool. This builds on Google Assistant’s previous TV integration, offering a deeper, more interactive experience that could change how users navigate content at home.

How to use Gemini AI on Google TV

Gemini works through the “Hey Google” voice prompt or the TV remote microphone. So, just say the command and you can ask Gemini for recommendations based on mood or preferences, catch up on previous seasons, or search with vague descriptions. You can even have follow-up questions and get reviews or more details before watching.

Other features include getting Gemini to guide you on school projects, teaching you new skills like guitar, or getting quick recipes with YouTube-supported answers.

Gemini represents Google’s next step in bringing AI-powered interaction to TVs. While Google Assistant on TV handled basic voice tasks, Gemini allows free-form conversation, enabling richer content discovery and educational assistance. 

Supported TV models

TCL QM9K series users are the first to receive it, with other 2025 models set to follow. The future rollout will include TCL QM7K, QM8K, X11K models, 2025 Hisense U7, U8, UX models, Google TV Streamer, and Walmart onn. 4K Pro. More Gemini features are planned for Google TV later this year.

Earlier this month, speaking at the TCL QM9K launch, Scott Ramirez, VP, Product Marketing and Development, Home Theater said, “With the new QM9K, TCL is proud to offer the industry’s first TV series with Gemini.” 

So, for buyers considering new smart TVs, Gemini may influence choice, especially for households seeking interactive entertainment and learning capabilities. So, if you are looking for a TV with advanced AI integration for content and learning, Gemini-ready models like the TCL QM9K are available now.
