What can Google Assistant do on Android TV?

With the arrival of TCL's latest Android TVs, your TV is now even more connected than ever. Not only do our smart TVs with Android TV feature an enhanced remote with voice control to make searching for movies and TV shows a breeze, but it comes with Googles voice assistant built in to give you control over much more than just your entertainment.

Google Assistant is ready to help with a range of more obvious conveniences, like searching for a movie title or pausing the show youre watching. There are many ways in which Google Assistant can simplify how you watch. However, with millions of available actions, the Google Assistant can do so much more, like streamline your day, help you learn more about the cast of your favorite movie, and even keep your guests entertained while youre making popcorn in the next room. Here are a few of my favorites.

Wake Up Right

Tired of waking up to your phones jarring beeps, buzzes, and chimes? Set an alarm with Google Assistant and wake up to the morning news. Say, Hey Google, wake me up at 7 am to Good Morning America, and start your day off right. Not only will it turn the TV on, but if you have compatible devices, it will do such things as turn on you lights and open the blinds!

Stay Informed

Catch up on whats happening around the world with a simple voice command. Ask your Google Assistant to show you the latest headlines by saying, Hey Google, show me the news, or Hey Google, turn on CNN.

Work it Out

These days your living room is much more than a living room. , its also a home gym. Put Google Assistant to work as a personal trainer by saying, Hey Google, play yoga videos on YouTube. When you aren't working out to a video, its also easy to receive a little motivation. Just ask your Google Assistant to play your workout playlist on Spotify and have it streamed on the big screen.

Things come up and sometimes we cant get through a movie in one sitting. When youre ready to continue the next day, theres no need to sort through your streaming apps just to find it again. Just say Hey Google, continue the movie, and youll be able to pick-up right where you left off.

Set the Mood

Google Assistant works with thousands of smart home devices, including smart plugs, door locks, kitchen appliances, and so much more. When you set up your compatible gadgets, you can call on your TVs assistant to do a whole range of things that go beyond bringing up the movie.

Sometimes watching your favorite TV show will remind you of an important task. When an epiphany strikes, just say Hey Google, remind me to pick up the dry cleaning tomorrow, all without leaving the couch or disrupting your entertainment.
