Nothing is uninstalled for good; one command puts it back.","tasks":[{"slug":"automate-tasks","label":"Automate busywork","url":"https://shipradarai.com/do/automate-tasks"}],"price":{"summary":"Free","type":"Free","starting":null,"note":"Free and open source; needs a computer running an AI coding assistant to drive it"},"skill":"Some setup","works_on":["Code / command line"],"you_get":["Automations"],"verdict":{"take":"This is a real fix people are actually running, not a toy — on Reddit, one TCL owner called their once-sluggish set \"so much better now\" afterward. The catch: it's for someone fine poking around settings menus and letting an assistant drive, not anyone who just wants a one-tap app from a store.","best_for":"Someone with a cheap Android or Google TV full of ads and sponsored rows on the home screen who's comfortable following step-by-step instructions with an AI coding assistant.","not_for":"Anyone who doesn't want to turn on Developer Options and USB debugging on their TV, or doesn't already have an AI coding assistant like Claude Code installed on a computer — the tool runs through that, not as a downloadable app.","watch_out":"You have to enable Developer Options and USB/network debugging on the TV first, and it only runs if you drive it with an AI coding assistant on a nearby computer.
