Google has announced that Gemini, its new AI-powered assistant, will eventually replace the current Google Assistant on Google TV devices. However, this change will not happen right away. Instead, Google says the transition is planned for later in 2025.

If you use Google TV, you will continue to have access to Google Assistant for the next several months. Google has not provided an exact date for when Gemini will take over, but it has confirmed that the rollout will not begin until later this year. This means you do not need to make any immediate changes or updates to your device.

Gemini is designed to offer more advanced AI features compared to the existing Assistant. Google says that Gemini will eventually provide improved voice controls and smarter responses on Google TV. The company has not shared detailed information about what new features Gemini will bring, but it is expected to enhance the overall experience for users.

For now, you can keep using Google Assistant as usual on your Google TV device. Google will share more information about the transition and any new features closer to the launch date. Until then, there is no action required from users.
