Google TV is getting Gemini-powered photo editing at CES (www.engadget.com)

Google is unveiling new Gemini-driven enhancements for Google TV at CES 2026, significantly expanding the AI's capabilities beyond basic features. Users will be able to leverage Gemini to not only search for specific photos in their Google Photos library but also to creatively remix those images, generating unique slideshows or even entirely new media using Google's Veo and Nano Banana models. This personalization through AI will transform the user experience, allowing for more engaging and customized interactions. Moreover, Gemini will simplify TV settings adjustments through natural language processing, meaning viewers can now make requests like "the screen is too dim," prompting automatic adjustments without navigating complex menus. The AI's ability to deliver information is also enhanced with a new visually rich framework that can present high-resolution images and videos in response to queries. Additionally, viewers can access "narrated, interactive overviews" for deeper insights into topics of interest. The rollout will begin with TCL TVs before expanding to other Google TV devices in the coming months, marking a significant step forward in AI integration for home entertainment systems.
