I didn't believe this Claude wizardry could actually speed up my Google TV until I tried it

Key Points:

• The author successfully used Claude, an AI assistant, to speed up an old Android TV streaming box by debloating unnecessary apps and freeing up storage and RAM, a task they had previously avoided due to its complexity.
• Claude automated much of the process, including installing ADB on the Mac, detecting the Mi Box S device on the network, and identifying non-critical system packages for removal, requiring minimal user input.
• The AI recommended reversible removal methods and allowed the user to choose which preinstalled apps to uninstall, preserving essential OS and Google framework components for stability.
• Removing Xiaomi’s PatchWall launcher significantly improved device speed, and although some users opt for lightweight launchers, the author accepted the default Android TV home screen for better performance.
• The smooth and straightforward experience encouraged the author to optimize multiple old Android and Google TVs at home, demonstrating Claude’s potential to simplify technical maintenance tasks for users.
