Google TV expands its Gemini assistant with new features teased at CES 2026, including sports briefs, Deep Dives, and enhanced visual breakdowns. These additions extend beyond regular news to specialized content, with U.S. users gaining access now before a wider spring rollout across more devices.

The new sports briefs deliver narrated overviews for NBA, NHL, MLB, NCAA basketball, MLS, and NWSL, letting viewers catch up on scores and headlines without leaving their couch. Google recommends accessing these through the dedicated Gemini tab for comprehensive coverage of favorite in-season leagues.

Deep Dives offer more educational content with guided follow-up questions and interactive walkthroughs, while improved visuals provide relevant video tutorials and multimedia results. These enhancements make Gemini a more comprehensive TV companion for both entertainment and learning purposes.

Google plans to debut these features first on TCL sets before expanding to other supported brands. The company also mentioned future photo memory search capabilities that will leverage its Photos cloud services, suggesting continued AI integration across Google's entertainment ecosystem.
