MeetPilot is a lightweight demo of a Smart Video Assistant built with Stream Video + Stream Chat, and a Realtime LLM backend for live transcription and Q&A.

Features

• ✅ Live video & chat using Stream
• ✅ Real-time captions and transcripts
• ✅ Meeting assistant ("Hey Assistant") for quick Q&A and meeting summaries
• ✅ Modern dark UI with responsive behavior

Quick start 🚀

Prerequisites

• Node.js (>=18) and npm/yarn/pnpm
• Python 3.13+ (backend uses pyproject.toml)
• A GetStream account and API key (for video/chat) — set as env vars (see below)

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USER/YOUR_REPO.git
cd YOUR_REPO

2. Backend (Python)

# Windows (PowerShell)
cd backend
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\activate
# install dependencies (use poetry if you prefer):
# poetry install
pip install -r requirements.txt # if you keep a requirements file
# or install from pyproject (pip should read pyproject metadata):
pip install .
# Run the assistant (example)
python .\main.py

3. Frontend (Next.js)

cd meetpilot
npm install
# Create your .env.local from .env.example (see repo) and add your Stream keys
npm run dev
# Open http://localhost:3000

Environment variables (example)

• backend/.env
  • CALL_ID (optional, random generated if missing)
  • STREAM_API_KEY, STREAM_API_SECRET (as required by your vision_agents/getstream setup)
• meetpilot/.env.local
  • NEXT_PUBLIC_STREAM_API_KEY
  • any other NEXT_PUBLIC_* keys your project expects

Troubleshooting & tips ⚠️

• If you see: "Use client.disconnect() before trying to connect as a different user", check app/hooks/useStreamClients.js — the hook handles safe reconnects.
• Strict Mode (React dev) can run effects twice; the hooks in this repo guard against double joins/disconnects.

Contributing

• Feel free to open issues or PRs — document your changes and keep commits small.
