Google TV’s new Gemini features keep fans updated on sports teams and more
What Happened
Three Gemini-powered features are coming to your Google TV. This includes visual responses, deep dives, and sports briefs.
Our Take
Honestly? Google just slapped AI onto an existing product and called it a feature. Visual responses, deep dives, sports briefs—none of it moves the needle for me. Gemini keeps losing to Claude and GPT-4 on reasoning, so why'd I use it here?
The real issue is that TV already works. I don't need Gemini explaining why my team lost; I need it to find something worth watching in the first place. Google ships products fast, not products people want to use.
If you're building on Google TV, don't bet on Gemini being the lock-in. The integration itself is the moat. That's what'll still be there in six months.
What To Do
Skip this if you've already got sports data flowing through existing APIs.
