Could you build this?

Partial The Android app UI and link-sending flow are vibe-codeable. Pairing with Google TV and driving its remote and keyboard depends on undocumented or lightly documented Android TV protocols.

What it would actually take: The app would need an Android client that handles the Android TV remote protocol for pairing and key events, plus intent or deep-link routing to each streaming app and a third-party app such as Stremio or Nuvio. The hard part is the reverse-engineered pairing and input protocol, which may break across TV firmware updates. That needs Android platform and networking expertise, and some protocol reverse engineering.
