Google announced on April 29 an update for Google TV that goes beyond watching series. The television transforms into an interactive canvas with a personalized feed. The star is the Create button on the Gemini tab, which allows generating and editing visual content using only voice. A twist on how we understand the living room. 🖼️
Nano Banana and Veo: the new creative layer on your TV 🎨
The Gemini tab integrates two key tools. Nano Banana allows generating and editing images through voice commands, adjusting colors or adding objects without touching a remote. On the other hand, Veo handles creating videos from scratch or animating static photos. Both work in real time, relying on AI models trained to understand complex requests. The television stops being passive to execute generative processes directly from the operating system.
Finally something to do with the remote while looking for something to watch 🎮
Because yes, now you can spend twenty minutes deciding whether to paint a space unicorn or animate your cat's photo, instead of looking for something decent on Netflix. The AI obeys you, but surely on the third command of more blue, but not too much you'll end up ordering a pizza by voice. At least the remote will have more use than losing it between the sofa cushions.
