YouTube is bringing the Gemini-powered 'Ask' button to TVs
YouTube's Ask button is making its way to the living room. The Gemini-powered feature is now rolling out as an experiment on smart TVs, gaming consoles and streaming devices. 9to5Google first spotted a Google support page announcing the change. Like on mobile devices and desktop, the feature is essentially a Gemini chatbot trained on each video's content. Selecting that Ask button will bring up a series of canned prompts related to the content. Alternatively, you can use your microphone to ask questions about it in your own words. The Ask about this video feature on desktop YouTube Google says your TV remote's microphone button (if it has one) will also activate the Ask feature. The company listed sample questions in its announcement, such as what ingredients are they using for this recipe? and what's the story behind this song's lyrics? The conversational AI tool is only launching for a small group of users at first. Google promises that it will keep everyone up to speed on any future expansions.
