Google TV Gets AI Screensavers
A new support page for Google TV has gone up, which details the new feature. Screensavers appear when a smart TV has been left idle for quite a while, and it begins showing wallpapers instead of the home screen. These are usually stock images and generic in nature. However, the new AI feature offers a way for users to flaunt unique art in this space.
There are three ways a user can add a custom AI art screensaver. The first is to type a prompt describing the art users want to see. Another way is to use the set templates provided and select them to generate AI art. The third method involves using the “Inspire Me” option. This option will let the AI generate a random art for users to save as a screensaver.
If AI images are not something the user prefers, they can also add their favourite pictures from Google Photos. However, to use this feature, the user must be logged into their Google account. Notably, users cannot pick individual images and will have to pick one or more albums to showcase as their screensaver.
To set up an AI art screensaver on your Google TV device, you can follow these steps:
- Go to Google TV home screen and select Settings.
- Go to System and select Ambient mode.
- From the list of screensavers, select Custom AI Art. Go to Create New…
- Choose between Describe your idea, Inspire me, and Suggested templates.
- After creating a piece of custom AI art, you can use the up and down button to scroll through its variations.
- Save the preferred images to the image library.
- You can add more prompts to generate more images. Once done, select Set all as screensaver.

The wet floor cleaner is available in a single two-tone black-blue colourway and can be purchased from the brand website online and offline at Dyson Demo stores across India.
It also comes with a two-year warranty and accidental damage protection.
Dyson WashG1 Features
Dyson WashG1 comes with in-use hydration control. The company offers three hydration modes, which users can choose from depending on the type of debris and flooring: low, medium, and high. The wet floor cleaner’s motor runs continuously at the selected speed, providing the respective hydration levels. Each of the modes is also paired with additional sensitivity settings. There is also a dedicated boost mode button, which salvos the roller with the maximum volume of hydration for more stubborn dirt stains.
The wet floor cleaner is equipped with two individually powered microfiber rollers with 64,800 filaments per square centimetre, which roll in the opposite direction. On a single charge, the Dyson WashG1 can cover an area of 3,100 square feet with its one-litre water tank. Dyson says it also borrows casters from the Dyson Omni-glide to provide better balance and support while cleaning.
There is also a self-cleaning mode on the WashG1 that uses clean water to flush out the system. It is claimed to clean the brushes in preparation for the next clean in 140 seconds.

The deal is a win for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, whose joint venture, called Everyone TV, launched Freely earlier this year, allowing viewers to stream both live TV and on-demand content for free when they purchase smart TVs carrying the service.
The tie-up will help take content from the four public broadcasters – which are required by UK law to offer programming beneficial to the public interest – to more British households, through smart TVs using Amazon’s popular Fire operating system.
“A deal of this kind, between a technology giant and those working in the public interest, is remarkable,” Everyone TV Chief Executive Jonathan Thompson said.
“It represents a significant development in widening the availability of Freely and therefore ensuring UK audiences can access free TV well into the future.”
Freely’s launch in April marked the first time all four of Britain’s public service broadcasters joined hands to set up a streaming service, as they look to future-proof live TV in the age of streaming.
Freely offers 70,000 hours of on-demand content, more than any other major streaming platform in Britain including Netflix, Disney, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV, according to data from London-based Ampere Analysis.
Everyone TV has also signed a deal with TV manufacturer TCL, which will include Freely in their new 2024 smart TVs, it said.
