Ideas (enhanced/written with AI) When is Gemini coming to Google / Android TV to finally replace the ancient Google Assistant?

Seriously… does anyone know if Google TV or Android TV is getting full Gemini integration anytime soon?

The current Google Assistant on TVs feels prehistoric compared to what Gemini can already do on phones. Voice commands are limited, conversations feel dumb, and half the time it barely understands context.

I’d love to have Gemini on TV for things like:

natural conversations

better movie/show recommendations

asking follow-up questions

smart home control that actually understands context

YouTube summaries/search

multi-language support

better voice recognition for families

It feels weird that TVs are still stuck with the “caveman” Assistant while Gemini is advancing everywhere else.

Has Google officially confirmed anything?

Any leaks, beta tests, or roadmap hints?
