What’s New in Lumio’s Project?
Lumio has opened public beta access for Project Neo, a content discovery tool built on its TLDR App that lets users find and play shows directly on their Lumio TV by simply messaging in plain language over WhatsApp or Instagram. No remote typing, no app-hopping, no endless scrolling — just a message.

How It Actually Works
Neo is built around natural human behavior — users can search by title, actor, director, genre, mood, or even a half-remembered plot. Feeling indecisive? Just tell Neo you’re bored, and it’ll surface trending picks. Spotted a trailer reel or a show poster on Instagram? Share it with Neo, and it identifies the title and sends it straight to the TV screen.
Circuit House Technologies Co-Founder Kailash Sankaranarayanan explained the idea comes from a familiar gap: recommendations pile up in chats and social feeds, but by the time you’re in front of the TV, they’re forgotten — so Neo simply closes that gap by living where people already discover content.
Why This Matters for Smart TVs in India
CEO Raghu Reddy framed it as a shift away from television progress being defined purely by hardware specs. Instead, Project Neo bets that the next real upgrade to TV experience is software that actually understands people’s intent — and with public beta now live, Lumio is inviting Indian users to help shape how TV discovery evolves.
