It can be fun entertainment, but it's not the core television viewing experience. Google's image and video models are good enough that you can get some benefit from playing with them on a larger screen, but Gemini is also available for more general tasks.

This update brings a full chatbot experience to TVs. If you want to know sports scores or get recommendations on what to watch, you can ask the robot a question. Results may be slightly different from what you expect when using Gemini online or in the app. Google says it has developed a “visually rich framework” that will make the AI more usable on a TV. Each answer will also have a “Dive Deeper” option, allowing you to create an interactive overview of the topic.
Gemini may also take steps to adjust system settings based on your complaints. For example, pick up Gemini and say “Dialogue is too quiet” and watch the AI make adjustments to solve the problem.

New features of Gemini debuts on TCL TVs which run Google TV, but most other devices, even Google's own TV streamer, will have to wait a few months. Even then, you won't see Gemini taking over every TV or streaming box using Google's software. The new Gemini features require Google TV to run fully on Android OS version 14 or higher.
