For product teams and consumer brands, Gemini means the TV is no longer simply a screen for passive viewing; it becomes an input device and creative canvas that responds to voice. The update couples Nano Banana's generative imaging with Veo's video tooling, all invoked via conversational commands that improve accessibility and speed.

The £ opportunity most teams are missing

Many companies still treat TV as a broadcast medium, not an interactive platform for AI content creation, Nano Banana or voice control. That blind spot leaves monetisation, retention and differentiated UX on the table for streaming services and CE brands.

Regulation matters. The ICO and other UK bodies are already clear that AI systems handling personal data must meet transparency and fairness tests. ICO guidance on AI and data protection frames compliance requirements for voice and generative features.

In United Kingdom, Gemini and its on‑screen AI features will face both commercial opportunity and compliance obligations that marketing and product teams must plan for now.

Your 5-step product and go‑to‑market blueprint

• Prototype a Nano Banana demo to gather engagement in 30 days (aim for 10% weekly uplift in session starts).
• Instrument voice-controlled flows and measure activation rate within 14 days (target 20% voice adoption).
• Segment users and A/B test creative prompts for AI content creation over a 60‑day window.
• Audit data flows for ICO compliance and record consent rates (target 95% consent capture).
• Partner with platform owners to pilot monetised prompts and track ARPU uplift in 90 days.
