# meetus + doocus — a local, offline context extractor
Turn a downloaded Google Drive (meetings **and** documents) into a **searchable,
browsable, packageable** local knowledge base — then hand focused subsets to the
AI services you're allowed to use (Gemini web, NotebookLM). Every extraction step
is **deterministic and offline**; no cloud AI ever touches the raw source.
Two pipelines feed two local UIs over a shared component framework:
- **meetus** — meeting recordings → enhanced transcripts (WhisperX + screen frames).
- **doocus** — documents → textified content + metadata, indexed into a tree.

## Install
### System dependencies
```bash
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg graphviz # ffmpeg: frames/thumbnails · graphviz: docs diagrams
# optional: tesseract-ocr (doocus --ocr), poppler-utils (pdf page render)
# macOS: brew install ffmpeg graphviz
```
### Python (uv feature groups)
Dependencies live in `pyproject.toml` as [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) groups —
install only what you need:
```bash
uv sync --group meetus # meeting pipeline (opencv, ffmpeg-python)
uv sync --group doocus # document extraction (docx/pdf/pptx/xlsx/…)
uv sync --group doocus --group ocr # + OCR for images / scanned pdfs
```
Groups: `meetus`, `doocus`, `ocr`, `pdf-render`, `deprecated`. **whisper/whisperx**
are external CLI tools (like ffmpeg) — install separately (often a GPU env):
`pip install whisperx` (diarization needs a HuggingFace token with pyannote access).
### UIs (Node)
```bash
cd ui/meetus-app && npm install
cd ui/doocus-app && npm install
```
## The two pipelines
### meetus — meetings
```bash
uv run process_meeting.py samples/meeting.mkv --embed-images --scene-detection --scene-threshold 10 --diarize
```
Runs WhisperX (speaker diarization) + FFmpeg scene-detection frames → an enhanced
transcript with frame references, in `output/<YYYYMMDD-NNN-stem>/`. `--out-format`
customizes the run-folder name (e.g. `{name}.meetus` for a docs-coherent sidecar).
Batch a tree with `make batch IN=<dir>`. `process_meeting.py --help` is the flag
source of truth; caching (`--no-cache`, `--skip-cache-frames/-whisper`) lets you
iterate on scene thresholds without re-running Whisper.
### doocus — documents
```bash
uv run process_tree.py "/path/to/drive" --output "doocus-data/<source>" --only docs
```
Replicates the whole tree into `index.json` (every file a node), extracting text
sidecars (`content.md` + `meta.json`) only for `docx/pdf/pptx/xlsx`; other files
are linked, not duplicated. `--only {all|docs|meetings}` scopes a collection.
Full manual: [`doocus/README.md`](doocus/README.md).
## Outputs & collections
Each app writes to a **managed root** (gitignored), one subfolder per source,
mirroring the source structure:
- `doocus-data/<source>/` — document collections (`index.json` + `.doocus/`)
- `meetus-data/<source>/` — meeting collections (`index.json` + `.meetus/`)
Collections whose `index.json.root` matches are the **same source**: the doocus UI
merges their docs + meetings into one tree, toggled as one source. A meeting's
`.meetus` must sit in the **same folder** as its collection's `index.json`.
## The UIs
Local Vue 3 + Vite apps over `ui/framework/` (shared components + design tokens):
- **`ui/meetus-app`** — review a meeting: video + transcript (edit/read, speaker
merge, select mode) + frame selector, time-synced.
- **`ui/doocus-app`** — browse the merged tree, **search** cached text (transcripts,
extracted docs, raw files), per-type viewers, and **package** selected files.
Meetings **embed the meetus review** (`@review`, composed — not duplicated).
```bash
cd ui/doocus-app && DOOCUS_DATA="$PWD/../../doocus-data,$PWD/../../meetus-data" npm run dev
cd ui/meetus-app && MEETUS_OUTPUT=/abs/path/to/output npm run dev
```
## Packaging (the point)
The doocus package builder zips selected **originals** + their `content.md` for a
target (Gemini web ≤10 files/≤100 MB, or NotebookLM). Originals are what the
permitted services consume; the extracted text is the local **search index** and is
never a replacement for the document.
## Project layout
See [`INDEX.md`](INDEX.md) for the full map. In brief:
```
process_meeting.py meetus CLI process_tree.py / process_doc.py doocus CLIs
meetus/ meetus core doocus/ doocus core
ctrl/ batch + ops scripts ui/{meetus-app,doocus-app,framework}
Makefile batch · docs · merge · graphs docs/graphs/ architecture diagram
def/ design notes samples/ output/ (gitignored)
```
Deprecated OCR/vision code lives unwired in `meetus/deprecated/` (the only user of
`ollama`, kept out of every default install). See [`INDEX.md`](INDEX.md).
