Core Components

1. Bot Orchestrator (/app/api/create-bot): Handles the initialization and configuration of meeting bots.
2. Event Bus (/app/api/webhook): A robust webhook listener that processes real-time events from the bot (joined, left, recording_started).
3. Data Layer (Supabase): Stores bot states, transcripts, and meeting metadata with real-time subscriptions enabled for the frontend.
4. Frontend (Next.js + Tailwind): A modern, dark-themed dashboard for managing bots and viewing insights.
