Opus 5.5 builds a tiny TV remote API for Grok Bot voice control
Opus 5.5 identifies a Samsung TV's local API and wraps it into three narrow tools, letting Grok Bot control the TV by voice with human approval only at pairing and payment.
MY TV REMOTE JUST BECAME F*CKING OBSOLETE Opus 5.5 took apart how my Samsung TV takes commands, and now Grok Bot drives it by voice. The idea: let Opus do the hard part once, then give Grok Bot a remote so small it can't do anything stupid with it. Most smart TVs already listen for commands on your home Wi-Fi, which is how phone remote apps work. Opus figures out that API and wraps it into three tools. You just say: "Hey Grok, open something" here's the split: → Opus 5.5 reads a photo of your TV's Settings → About screen and identifies the model and its local API → it pairs the laptop with the TV and saves the token in a locked file → it builds tvremote, a tiny local server Grok Bot can call → Grok Bot turns what you say into button presses and reports what's on screen after each one you step in at exactly two points: → the first pairing, when the TV asks you to approve the laptop → "Who's watching?" or any payment screen, because the bot is told to stop there what I like most is how boxed in it is. no shell, no other apps, no sign-ins, and every change comes with an undo command the full tree > laptop and TV on the same Wi-Fi > open_netflix launches the app by its official ID > press_key sends only arrows, ENTER, BACK and HOME > status checks the screen before and after every press > a token-protected tunnel connects all three to Grok Bot mine is a Samsung, and the same setup should work on most Samsung, LG and Google TV sets from the last few years full prompt below ↓
