"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. 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."
"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.""
YouTube is adding its Gemini-powered 'Ask' button to smart TVs, game consoles and streaming devices as an experimental feature available to a small group of users. The tool operates like a conversational chatbot trained on each video's content and mirrors functionality available on mobile and desktop. Users can select canned prompts after tapping the Ask button or speak custom questions using the device microphone. Some TV remotes' microphone buttons will directly activate the feature. Example queries include asking about recipe ingredients or the story behind song lyrics. Google plans to monitor the experiment and will announce any broader expansions later.
