Fordel StudiosGoogle previews new Gemini features for TV at CES 2026
What Happened
Google TV will let you ask Gemini to find and edit your photos, adjust your TV settings, and more.
Our Take
Okay, asking Google TV to find your photos and change brightness is genuinely useful. That's real UX improvement. But it's also table stakes now — every AI company is bolting multimodal capabilities onto every device. Voice + vision on your TV isn't novel anymore, it's expected.
Google's advantage here is they own the TV OS and the photo backend (Google Photos). That's moat. But it doesn't move the needle on what's possible or who wins in the AI race. It's table-setting, not game-changing.
What To Do
This is a good UX move but meaningless as competitive differentiation — build around it because your users expect it, not because it matters.
