You can now buy TCL's new QM9K series QD-Mini LED TVs, and they run Google TV, are the first to come with Gemini AI, and have a built-in mmWave presence sensor, as reported by 9to5Google.

The idea was that Gemini could not only surface shows, movies, and channel recommendations across the TV's catalog of streaming services and apps but also handle general inquiries like homework problems, vacation planning, and more. The end goal? An AI-driven experience that's burdenless and easy to navigate (whether through text or speech) and transforms your TV into the ultimate centerpiece. Beyond serving as a multimedia consumption device, a Gemini-enhanced TV should feel more like an interactive smart hub, an information resource that removes some of the friction from constantly picking up our smartphones.

But you can also use templates on a slide-by-slide basis.
