Google will use more mics and Gemini AI to get you to talk to your TV

As pointed out by Android Police, the integration will allow you to search for media by saying “What are the latest movies from Disney?” You can also ask more general questions such as, “What are the best places to visit in Asia in the summer?” and Google TV will show results from YouTube. The integration lets you interact with smart home devices as well, allowing you to view your video doorbell feed and more.

In addition to bringing Gemini to Google TV, the company is outfitting the TVs using its operating system with far-field microphones, according to Bloomberg and Android Police. This will let you use voice commands with your TV without speaking into your remote. Google TVs will also have proximity sensors that will detect when you’re close to the TV and show “personalized and informative widgets,” Android Police reports.
