Google's Gemini AI assistant can now adjust picture settings on Google TV, starting with select TCL television models. The feature expands Gemini's control over smart home devices.

Gemini users with compatible TCL TVs can now voice-command adjustments to picture settings without manually navigating menus. The capability represents another step in Google's effort to make Gemini a central control hub for smart home devices. This integration follows Google's broader push to embed Gemini across its ecosystem, allowing users to manage everything from smart speakers to connected displays through voice commands. The rollout currently appears limited to certain TCL models, suggesting a phased approach before wider availability. Google has not announced plans to expand the feature to other TV manufacturers or models, though the company typically extends such capabilities over time. The move aligns with industry trends toward AI-powered voice control as a primary interface for smart TV navigation, competing with similar features from Amazon's Alexa and other voice assistants.
