We have more to watch than ever, and that is exactly the problem. Most nights end the same wayten minutes across five apps, pecking out a title on a TV remote, and giving up before anything plays. The content is not the bottleneck; the finding is.
TLDR is your shortcut from "I feel like watching something" to actually watching it. Neo is the friend who has watched everything and remembers the good stuff. Message it in plain language and it finds the movie, show, trailer, match highlight, or song and puts it straight on your TV. The keyboard you already love becomes the remote. No typing on the TV, no hopping between apps.

What won't work yet
Honesty up front so you don't waste time testing these. If any seem to work oddly or break, that's still useful, so please report it.
Telegram isn't live. Only WhatsApp and Instagram are active in this beta.
Voice notes / voice search. Neo reads text (and shared Reels/images). Type your request instead.
TV controls. Volume, brightness, power and channel are not supported. Use your TV remote.
No memory between messages. Each request is fresh; "more like the last one" won't carry context.
General Q&A / trivia. Neo is built for content, not general knowledge, so off-topic questions get a friendly nudge back to movies, sports and music.
Live scores & live streams. For sports you get highlights and recaps, not a live scoreboard or live match.
Private posts & carousels. Neo can't read private/age-gated Reels, and multi-image carousel posts aren't supported. Share a single public image or Reel.
Your TV must be online. The TLDR app needs to be open and connected, or there's nowhere to show results.

Tips for the best results
Add a hint when you can. "family night" or "something scary" gives Neo a genre and sharper picks than a blank "show me something".
Speak naturally. Slang and Hinglish are fine. "Bhai koi mast si comedy laga de" works perfectly.
Keep the TV app open. Make sure TLDR is running on your TV before you send a request.
Share clear Reels & posters. Clearer visuals or a descriptive caption help Neo nail the title.
