Try any of the examples below:
- Find a program or person (e.g., “The Crown” or “Brad Pitt”)
- Launch an app (e.g., “Netflix” or “Amazon Prime Video”)
- Search by genre (e.g., “Comedy shows” or “Action films”)
- Get support (e.g., “Help” or “Settings”)
Those are just a few examples. Try it with your favourite show, movie, or app.
