Google is integrating its Gemini AI into smart televisions, transforming TVs into interactive assistants capable of understanding conversational language for content recommendations and daily tasks. This move aims to personalize the viewing experience and extend AI's utility beyond traditional devices.

• The rollout begins with select TCL and Hisense models, including those available in Kenya, with wider availability expected by early 2026.
• The AI can suggest shows, provide season recaps, recommend movies for couples with different tastes, and assist with real-world tasks like recipes or schedule reminders, and even manage smart home devices.
• This initiative is part of Google’s larger strategy to become an AI-first company, a direction that has seen the company join the $3 trillion market valuation club.
