Google is set to expand its AI assistant, Gemini, across multiple platforms, including Google TV, Android Auto, Wear OS smartwatches, and Samsung’s upcoming Android XR headsets, aiming to bring smarter, more intuitive interactions to everyday devices.
On Google TV, users will be able to request movie recommendations tailored to their preferences, such as age-appropriate action films for kids, or ask for information on a wide range of topics.
Gemini will enhance the viewing experience by pulling up relevant content, like educational YouTube videos, to answer questions — imagine a child asking about the solar system and getting a kid-friendly explanation on the spot.
In cars, Gemini will upgrade Android Auto by improving voice command functionality, making it easier for drivers to stay focused on the road.
The AI will support natural, conversational requests, allowing users to find nearby stores, plan routes with stops like charging stations near a park, or even summarize incoming messages and translate replies into another language.
This hands-free assistance promises to make driving more productive and seamless.
For Wear OS smartwatches, Gemini will enable more natural interactions, removing the need for precisely worded commands.
Users can simply speak naturally to set reminders — like noting a gym locker number—or retrieve information from apps, such as details about a restaurant mentioned in an email, all without touching their phone.
This is particularly handy in situations where accessing a phone is inconvenient, like while cooking or during a workout.
The rollout of Gemini across these devices is expected in the coming months, with Google TV integration slated for later this year.
Additionally, Samsung’s Android XR headsets, launching later in 2025, will leverage Gemini to offer immersive experiences, such as planning a vacation with interactive videos, maps, and local tips.
As Google continues to phase out its older Assistant in favor of Gemini, this expansion signals a broader push to embed AI deeply into the Android ecosystem, aiming for a more connected and conversational user experience across all devices.
