Google TVの新Gemini機能、スポーツチームなどの最新情報をファンに提供

Google unveiled three Gemini-powered features for Google TV on Tuesday, including AI-powered visual responses, the ability to deep dive into virtually any topic, and narrated overviews of sports games.

A particularly noteworthy addition is the introduction of visual responses.

For example, requesting the current score for the Warriors game will result in live scorecards, alongside information on where to view the game. Users can also search for recipes, and Gemini will complement its response with relevant video tutorials.

As showcased at CES 2026, Google TV is also getting “deep dives.” This feature enables users to explore complex topics in greater detail. When prompted, Gemini offers narrated visual breakdowns on all sorts of subjects, such as health and wellness, economics, and technology. For instance, users could ask, “What are the effects of cold plunging?”

Users can initiate these deep dives by selecting “Dive deeper” in the response options or by navigating to the Gemini tab on the home screen and selecting the “Learn” option.

For sports fans, Gemini has launched “sports briefs.” This is for viewers who wish to stay updated on their favorite leagues without having to watch every live moment. Users can request timely narrated overviews of events in leagues such as the NBA, NHL, and MLB, making it easy to catch up on highlights and important updates. This comes a year after Google launched “news briefs” for viewers looking to stay informed on the latest headlines.

These features are currently being rolled out to users in the U.S. and Canada. Google has also indicated plans to expand Gemini’s capabilities to Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K. this spring, with additional countries set to follow.

Gemini first launched on Google TV in September 2025, but it was a limited release for select TCL televisions. Since then, it has expanded to more hardware and received several updates, including the ability to adjust settings through natural language, such as fixing dim screens or audio imbalances, making it a faster option than going to the menu. Users can also search their Google Photos library by voice and apply AI styles and effects.
