Google has officially unveiled a significant evolution for its smart TV platform at CES 2026, integrating the Gemini AI assistant directly into Google TV. This update transforms the television from a passive entertainment hub into an active, intelligent command center for the home.
The standout feature allows users to utilize voice commands to manage their personal media library. You can now ask Gemini to locate specific photos in your Google Photos cloud and edit them directly on the big screen, offering a seamless way to curate memories from the couch. Beyond media, the AI enhances the user experience by taking over system management, allowing for complex adjustments to TV settings—such as modifying picture profiles or sound modes—via natural language prompts.
This move signals a shift towards ambient computing, where the TV interface fades into the background, replaced by intent-based AI interactions. Expect these features to roll out to compatible panels later this year.
