We’re building Helix, an AI platform where autonomous coding agents work in cloud sandboxes. Users need to watch their AI assistants work. Think “screen share, but the thing being shared is a robot writing code.”
Oh, they are all about useless tech. Why would you need to watch an agent code at 1080P 60fps using 40Mbps?
I think they took https://justuse.org/curl/ a bit too serious.

People are paying them for it, so it’s useful enough apparently.
Thanks, I was confused about why the helix editor might need screen sharing. Haha.
I was thinking the mattress company. Totally different vibes if they are needing to send video…
Yup, crazy. I record all my coding screencasts at 15 fps and it looks fine while the video file is tiny.
