YouTube is rolling out its Gemini-powered Ask feature to smart TVs, gaming consoles, and streaming devices as a limited experiment. The conversational AI tool lets viewers ask detailed questions about videos, similar to its existing functionality on mobile and desktop. Users can activate it via a dedicated Ask button or a microphone on their TV remote.

Google is initially testing the feature with a small group of Premium Labs users before wider deployment. This rollout follows Google's broader push to integrate AI across its products, including YouTube's recent notification reduction experiment. The feature's arrival on TV marks a significant step towards making YouTube's AI more accessible during passive viewing sessions.
