These days, it's not unheard of to spend more time trying to figure out what to watch on our TVs than what we spend actually watching something. It has become a problem that does sometimes have us reach for our phones just to look up a recipe or check the score of our favorite sports teams. However, what if your television could do all the hard work for you?

This is important as it turns the TV from an ordinary passive entertainment device to an entirely interactive smart screen. While competitors like Amazon and Apple are trying to promote their own smart home systems, Google is utilizing its AI to make the experience in the living room much more immersive.
This is especially useful for families looking to have an educational screen experience or sports fans looking to quickly catch up before leaving the house.

I think this is a great move for the platform. I would certainly utilize these visual recipe assistants and the interactive in-depth looks when I am looking to unwind in the living room. It’s perfect for anyone who dislikes having to juggle a smartphone and a remote at the same time.
The rollout begins now in the US and Canada for the visual help, while the rest and more regions are set to be available in the spring. It’s nice to see just how much potential our existing devices have by receiving a simple software update, and we shall see how these new features fare in the real world.
