+# Mitus
+
+Meeting stream viewer with an embedded AI agent. Captures screen and audio from a Wayland source machine, streams it over TCP to a receiver with GPU-accelerated decode, and runs a Claude Code agent that watches the feed autonomously — transcribing audio, extracting frames on scene changes, and acting on user-defined rules. The agent panel shows a live log of what it observes and the actions it takes, while a thumbnail grid gives a visual timeline of the session. Primary use case: staying present in meetings without manually feeding context to Claude. Provides summarization after the fact
