The AI cleaned up my Android TV and replaced its launcher

He gave the AI his TV model number. It found the TV on his wifi, removed 25 Xiaomi packages and wrote a new launcher, so the TV now looks like an Apple TV.

How it works

  1. Gives the AI the TV model number
  2. It finds the TV on the wifi
  3. Removes 25 Xiaomi packages
  4. Writes a new launcher

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent did not just hand him steps. It got onto the TV over wifi, took 25 packages off and replaced the launcher itself.
