What they did
With the TV and laptop on the same Wi-Fi, paste the prompt into Claude Code with a photo of the TV's Settings > About screen.

Result (as claimed)
"Hey Grok, open Netflix" opens and scrolls Netflix, and he says it works on most recent Samsung, LG and Google TV sets.
Tools they used
Cost: Claude Code: from $17/mo; Grok Bot: from $30/mo; Claude Opus 5.5: from $4 in / $20 out per 1M tokens.
Set it up
Define the job
Say exactly what you want done and what the agent may and may not do on your behalf.
Share only what is needed
Give Claude Code the minimum files or access required. Avoid sharing passwords in chat when a safer login flow exists.
Review the plan
Ask the agent to show its plan or draft before it acts, and approve each step that has real consequences.
Check the result
Confirm the outcome yourself (order placed, request sent, document understood) and keep a record.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.
