Samsung users can now talk to Copilot on their TVs.
Microsoft teamed up with Samsung to bring Copilot to select TVs and monitors for discovering what to watch and more. Copilot is now available as a voice assistant app on Samsung's 2025 lineup of TVs and monitors. For TVs that includes Micro RGB, Neo QLED, OLED, The Frame Pro and for monitors, the M7, M8, and M9 models.

When you click on the Copilot app, you'll see an animated blob that you can talk to when you activate the microphone on your Samsung remote. Microsoft lists a few different examples of how you can use Copilot for finding shows and movies to watch, with visuals of title cards and details.

You can get hyper-specific, like asking Copilot to find cooking shows under two hours, spoiler-free recaps of what you've watched up to the latest episode, or challenge Copilot to find something that all the viewers can agree on. For instance, maybe your group wants to watch something like a rom-com with sci-fi and thriller elements. You could ask Copilot to recommend some options that check all those boxes. (perhaps Her or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?) Microsoft says you can also ask Copilot for IMDB-esque deep-dives on actors or directors or just ask Copilot general questions like the weather forecast or... to cheer you up after a breakup. Although, if you're asking your TV for emotional support, it might be time to touch grass or check in with a human friend.
Emotional attachment aside, injecting AI in TVs is a natural fit in many ways. Generative AI has proven to be a useful tool for sourcing information. Google has also been working on integrating AI into various hardware beyond phones and computers. Earlier this year, they announced Gemini for Google TV and Android Auto for cars.

*quickly checks to make sure my TV isn't a Samsung*

Phew, Toshiba.

LG for life

I'll just get my AI to watch all the AI stuff on TV and give me a summary. I'll save so much time.

Hollywood: Why aren't people watching our movies anymore?!?

Oh look, another reason not to buy a Samsung TV.

They are forcing AI into literally everything and it's really sad to see.

It's really crazy to think about how outside of 365, Azure and GitHub literally every single MS product and service is an absolute fucking dumpster fire at the moment

Netflix counts a movie as "watched" if someone spends at least 2 minutes with it on.

I am so sick of "AI" being in literally everything.

somehow, NFTs almost feel genuine compared to AI

almost.

Not even your dishwasher?

Might be kind of cool.

Hate it, thanks. I'm going to miss having devices that just do what I want them to, and not try to "learn" to be better.

I watch little enough TV as is, guess I'll be keeping my old like TV until it stops working.

this guy doesn't want an AI comb to predict the number of brush strokes to get your hair perfect? it connects to the internet to gather weather data so that even on humid days your hair would look nice and not frizzy!

Shit like this is why I had to factory reset my TV. Every time I switched to a console, Game Mode would pop on and I would have to sit there for a few seconds until it fucked off and I could see my screen.
