Google TV Set to Revolutionize Video Experience with AI-Powered Features

Google TV could soon let you generate and watch your own videos

Sparkify is also available as an experimental feature for other devices. Gemini recently made its big screen debut with its launch on Google TV. Although it's currently limited to a small set of smart TVs, alongside the Google TV streamer, Gemini has been promised to be rolled out to a broader set of Google TV models later in the year. While gearing up for the launch, Google is seemingly testing some AI-powered features to improve your video-watching experience. Earlier today, we learned about Google's plan to nudge users to check if they have fallen asleep while watching TV. In addition to those changes, we're witnessing additional instances in the code for the Android TV app on sets running the Google TV interface. Of all the features mentioned above, we recognize "Sparkify," an experimental AI feature that generates animated videos using Gemini and Veo. When it was announced at Google I/O 2025, it was marketed as a way to create videos in response to questions and is targeted at kids to enhance their learning using visual aids. However, there's absolutely no stopping if adults want to watch videos on topics that may not interest kids. The other terms and phrases appear to be associated with Sparkify itself. These aspects should likely aid in refining video results to help kids gain a better understanding. Since both Gemini for Google TV and Sparify are available to a limited set of users, we can't say when they could be widely available. We will update you when we learn more about the feature.

Google TV wants to take your video-watching experience to the next level with a bunch of AI features

Like all its major competitors, Google is incorporating AI into pretty much all its apps and services. And one of the company's recent AI efforts in the consumer space is Gemini for Android TV. Although Gemini hasn't landed on the majority of Google TV devices, we now have some idea about what new features it might offer when it's available to more devices. Earlier today, we reported that Google is working on a feature that will check if you're still watching a channel on Google TV. This sounds very similar to what Netflix's "Are you still watching?" prompt does, though details are scarce at the moment. On top of this, Google is working on another set of features that are powered by AI and have a completely different purpose. Google TV will let you generate and watch videos In an APK teardown of the Google TV app, folks over at Android Authority have spotted mentions of as many as five new features, including Sparkify, Scene Style, Visual Style, Describe your idea, and Generate Video. While a few of these are self-explanatory in what they want to do, Sparkify is something that the company talked about at this year's Google I/O event. Based on what we already know from Google, Sparkify is an upcoming feature that will let you create videos on topics that you're interested in. All you have to do is enter the topic and choose a visual style and mood, and Sparkify will create and play the video. There is no clarity about whether the other four features are related to Sparkify, but the visual style capability is likely associated with it. It's an educated guess because Google's previous demo video of Sparkify showed how users can choose the visual style before generating the video. However, the remaining names also sound like they are designed to let users add more details, including scene style, to generate the video. Google officially confirmed that more Gemini capabilities are "coming soon" to Google TV, but it never mentioned what features it's planning to introduce. But since evidence of these AI features has surfaced, we can safely say that the company is seriously considering adding them to Google TV in the future. Since Gemini for Google TV will become broadly available later this year, we expect the features to arrive around the same time.
