Google Unveils Advanced Gemini AI Features for Smart TVs at CES 2026
Google introduces new Gemini AI capabilities for Google TV that allow users to control settings with their voice, search for media using natural language, and explore educational topics directly on their screen. These upgrades debut on select TCL TVs before expanding to other devices.
Google showcases new Gemini AI features for Google TV at CES 2026 that transform how viewers interact with their televisions. The upgrade allows users to find content, request plot recaps, and get personalized show recommendations simply by talking to their TV using natural language instead of navigating complex menus.
Beyond entertainment, Google envisions the television as an educational hub where Gemini provides visually rich, interactive deep dives into topics. The AI combines text, images, and video context to explain concepts narratively, while also letting users search their Google Photos library and apply artistic styles to create cinematic slideshows of their personal memories.
The most practical addition gives viewers the ability to optimize picture and audio settings using only voice commands. Users simply tell the TV that the screen is too dim or the dialogue is unclear, and Gemini automatically adjusts the relevant settings without interrupting the movie. These features launch first on select TCL TVs before arriving on other Google TV devices.
