Google announced on Monday that it is rolling out Gemini to the Google TV Streamer, replacing Google Assistant. The update allows users to use their voice more naturally to find content and do more on their TVs.
For example, users can ask:
“I like dramas but my wife likes comedies. What’s a movie we can watch together?”
Or, users can catch up on shows with a command like:
“What happened at the end of Outlander last season?”
Users can also ask:
“What’s the new hospital drama everyone’s talking about?”
Google says Gemini for TV goes beyond entertainment. Users can ask general questions, just like they do with Gemini on their phones.
For example, parents can ask:
“Explain why volcanoes erupt to my third grader.”
Gemini can also guide users through DIY projects or recipes using YouTube videos.
To use Gemini on the Google TV Streamer, press the remote’s microphone button.
The update is rolling out over the next few weeks to users aged 18 and older.

Besides the Google TV Streamer, Gemini is also on the Walmart Onn 4K Pro streaming device.
This move is part of Google’s plan to replace Google Assistant with Gemini across all devices and platforms. The company had also announced at CES in January that Gemini AI would come to Google TV in 2025.
