The Google Assistant digital assistant finally reached the shores of another platform: Google’s voice assistant will complement the functionality of the Android TV operating system. The launch point for Google Assistant is NVIDIA’s Shield TV Shield, and in the next two to three months it will be available on Android TV’s Sony Bravia smart TVs.

Google Assistant provides the viewer with easy access through oral requests for a wide range of video content, TV shows, clips on YouTube and similar hosts, as well as new music from the world of music. And support for voice control services HBO Now and Netflix can offer an intelligent voice search system. To do this, it will be enough to indicate either the specific name of the film, or to make your request without specifics only with the mention of interest in the subject / genre. The services that are adapted to Google Assistant also include YouTube Music, Google Play Music, Spotify, and Pandora audio services.

The Google Assistant release on TB simplifies the work of the calendar, allowing it to make changes and celebrate important events while communicating with the TV. Similarly, a user will be able to receive news and make purchases through Google Express.
