Peacock is testing a conversational AI Search feature.

NBCUniversal has some updates in the works for the Peacock mobile app, including AI-powered content browsing and a singular Clips Feed for vertical videos (which includes the existing feed for Your Bravoverse). Live vertical video tests are also being expanded to The Voice live simulcasts, NCAA basketball games, and golf. There’s no launch date for any of these updates, but tests will be running until early 2027. [Image: Here’s a sample of what the updated Peacock app is expected to look like when all of this eventually rolls out. https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/11/All-Screens.png?quality=90&strip=all]
