Google TV Gemini AI Features 2026: The Living Room Becomes Truly Intelligent at CES

Stop scrolling through endless menus and start talking. At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Google just unveiled a massive upgrade for Google TV, integrating its Gemini AI to transform the television from a static screen into a conversational partner. It's not just about watching anymore; it's about an interactive experience that understands exactly what you want.

Talk to Your TV Like a Human: Google TV Gemini AI Features

The most impressive part of the update is how it handles natural language. According to reports from the event, you don't need to remember show titles anymore. You can simply ask, "What's that new hospital drama everyone's talking about?" or describe a plot you vaguely remember. Gemini will analyze the context and find it for you.

Perhaps the most practical addition is voice-controlled settings. Instead of digging through complicated menus to fix audio issues, you can just say, "I can't hear the dialogue." Gemini will instantly adjust the Google TV settings without pausing your show. It's a seamless way to optimize your viewing experience on the fly.

Reimagining Memories and Learning

Beyond entertainment, Google is pushing the TV as an educational and personal tool. With the new "reimagine" feature, users can query their Google Photos library and apply artistic AI styles to create cinematic slideshows. For those looking to learn, the TV can now provide deep dives into complex topics through narrated interactive overviews, effectively turning the living room into a classroom.
