After bringing Gemini AI to Google TV in September, Google will soon use its AI to make it easier to change your TV's settings, find personal photos, or generate your own AI creations.
Google TV will let you change your device’s settings through natural language prompts, which means you can avoid rooting through the settings menu. Examples include telling your device that “the screen is too dim,” where Gemini will increase the brightness, or saying, "the dialogue is lost," so Gemini will change the audio setup.
You'll also be able to use Gemini AI to access your Google Photos library and put together slideshows through a voice prompt. One example provided by Google involves someone requesting all the photos from a recent day at the beach without specifying an exact date.
You can then ask follow-up questions, such as when the photos were taken, or you can ask it to narrow the photo choices down to only feature select people.
Google also demonstrates how you can use its Photos Remix feature through your TV. This allows you to apply different styles to your own photography, meaning you can use AI to make the photo resemble a watercolor painting or, if the people featured were anime characters.

Google also says you can use these photos as a jumping-off point to make further creations through its AI-generation tools, such as Nano Banana and Veo.
You will also be able to ask your device to make new "Deep Dive" descriptions to help you learn about topics within what the brand calls a “new visually rich framework."
If you want to learn more about a specific topic, Gemini AI will pull together videos, images, text, and its own narration to make a description to watch on your TV. You can then ask follow-up questions to better personalize the experience.
An exact release date for the new features remains unclear, but we know they'll be coming to select TCL TVs before other Google TV devices at a later date.
