00:00Google is adding Gemini AI to its smart TV platform, so you'll be able to do a
00:04lot more with your TV than just watching movies.
00:12So in order to save energy, the Google TV, while it's always on, turns the screen
00:17off when you're not in the room. For example, right now we're outside of its
00:21detection zone, so the screen is off. But I'm going to move a little bit closer,
00:25about here, and it should turn on, we'll see a little screen saver, it'll pop up
00:32like that. It'll show artwork or whatever you want, sort of as an ambient mode.
00:37I'm going to move a little bit closer now, and once I get into this range, now it's
00:44going to show more actionable advice, such as your calendar, the weather, maybe some
00:48footage from your security cameras, and maybe some other photos and things too.
00:52Thanks to the built-in microphones in the TV, you'll be able to interact with
00:56Google directly, without ever picking up the remote. So for example, you can ask it
01:01for the weather, change channels, or look up information on shows that you might want
01:06to watch. For example, you might be able to say, show me movies about dinosaurs, and
01:12it'll provide you a list, and then you could narrow that down further by saying, I
01:15like Jurassic Park. What are movies like it I can watch with my kids? So it'll further
01:20call that down for you to show you maybe age-appropriate content.
01:25One of the new features that's coming to this interface is a news brief. If you ask it for
01:30today's top stories, Google will provide you recaps of the top stories from a variety of
01:37reputable news sources. You can also use the TV for educational content. For example, you
01:43could ask Gemini to explain the solar system to a third grader, and then it'll bring up not
01:49only a response in Gemini, but also relevant YouTube clips that might explain various planets
01:56in the language that a kid could understand. As with the current Google TV streamer, this
02:02one will also integrate with smart home devices. So for example, if someone rings your video
02:07doorbell, you'll get a picture of it on the screen itself, and then you'll be able to talk
02:11with the person at your door, such as having them leave a package or something like that.
02:16And if you want to turn off the lights for movie time, you can just talk to your TV, and
02:21it'll turn off the lights, change the thermostat settings, and even lock your front doors.
02:25Hey Google, let's start movie night. And the lights turn off. These Google TV Gemini features
02:35are going to be rolling out throughout the year to the Google TV platform. The TVs themselves
02:40aren't going to come to the end of the year, and they'll be made by TCL and Hisense.
