Your desktop has a problem child. MIDAS is an AI character that lives on your
screen — it watches what app you're in, reacts and roasts in real time, walks
and parkours across the edges of your real windows, holds props, talks to your
chat, and remembers you. Poke it, drag it, bonk it back. It can take it.

## What it does

- **It actually lives on your desktop** — a transparent, click-through overlay
  character that walks, sits, perches on your real windows, and parkours between
  them. Not a chatbot in a box.
- **It roasts you (and you can hit back)** — a personality that reacts to what
  you're doing, with a poke/bonk mechanic so it's never the annoying assistant.
- **Built for streamers** — OBS captures it for free; it reads your Twitch chat
  and replies to viewers in character, selectively, with moderation built in.
- **It's yours** — tune the personality from calm cat to chaos gremlin, swap
  characters from an 11-creature roster, and let it remember your running gags.

## Cheap and private by design

The AI is a low-frequency *director* that picks from a pre-authored catalog of
animations and lines — not a generator emitting pixels per frame — so it costs a
few dollars a stream and stays light enough to run alongside a game. Perception
is local-only by default: active app, window titles, geometry — never your
pixels. Screen, webcam, and mic are all opt-in, off by default, each with a
visible indicator and instant mute.

## Availability

MIDAS is in a Windows-first closed beta (bring your own API key, unsigned
installer for now). Join the waitlist below and you'll be first in when it opens.
