MuZip: agentic image compression

Sending a photo normally means compressing all of it the same way, without knowing what the person on the other end needs to see. On a weak connection that either fails or arrives too blurry to be useful. MuZip turns compression around. It sends a tiny sketch of the photo as plain text, and the AI on the other end decides which parts it needs to see and how sharply. The phone crops just those parts from its full photo and sends them back, round after round, until the AI is sure of its answer. The photo itself never leaves the phone, and the whole exchange usually takes 5–7 KB, where WhatsApp would send 200–650 KB.
