Users will be able to create AI videos and images directly on their TV with Nano Banana and Veo, generate stylized photo slideshows from Google Photos, and enjoy more visual answers that include images, video context and real‑time sports updates. Gemini will also offer narrated "deep dives" on topics and let users adjust picture and volume settings by speaking simple commands.
