Are we expecting Google assistant to come to Android TV?

by mrnoor

I'd love to my make my home smarter, I wish Google would put some effort into making it possible for me to tell my phone to play for example heat on Netflix in my livingroom and bam, there it is.

IIRC there was a video on Google's last presentation of a family where a kid used the assistant to do this kind of thing with a Chromecast and he was talking to a speaker in the room.

For a true "Assistant" experience, they'll probably want you to use a Google Home device instead. That's the true Alexa competitor.

It will, I remember seeing it in this video where Hugo Barra from Xiaomi was telling it would come when he was demoing the Mi Box at I/O

I'd have no problem picking up a new controller to take advantage of the new features. I think the Shield TV is probably the best and most problem-free Android device I've ever used. I absolutely love this thing.
