If you have ever spent more time scrolling through rows of content than actually watching one, Google has a fix. With the latest Gemini update for Google TV, you can talk to the assistant, ask questions, and get relevant information in one place.
The update brings three Gemini features so you don’t have to grab your phone to check scores or figure out what to watch.
Smarter answers and deep learning on your Google TV
Gemini now responds with richer, more useful results depending on what you ask. If you ask for a recipe, you will get a video tutorial instead of just text. It basically combines visuals, videos, and information in one response, so you don’t need to search elsewhere.
There is also a new “deep dives” feature that turns your TV into a learning tool. You can explore topics like health, technology, or economics through narrated visual breakdowns.
For example, Gemini can explain how cold plunging affects your body or show how matcha is made step by step. You can even go further by tapping “Dive deeper,” which opens guided, interactive explanations with follow-up questions.
Gemini on Google TV will keep you updated on sports news
Google is also expanding its short news summaries into sports. These new sports briefs give you quick, narrated updates on leagues like the NBA, NHL, MLB, and more. If you check sports scores, you will see a live scorecard along with where to watch.
Instead of searching on the web, you can get highlights, player updates, and game summaries through Gemini. It can also help change your Google TV settings through voice commands.
These features are now rolling out to Gemini-enabled devices in the U.S. and Canada, with broader device support coming soon. The Gemini voice assistant on Google TV is expected to reach more countries later this year.
If this works as intended, your smart TV could become the place where you search, learn, and stay updated without ever reaching for your phone.
