- duo121 7mo agotmux is a human-oriented terminal multiplexer, it cannot programmatically control host terminals like iTerm2/Windows Terminal natively via API like TermHub, nor can it provide hack-free native terminal automation for AI Agents. tmux can read content but only from a buffer with unstructured text and unstable parsing, while TermHub delivers real-time, structured, AI-native terminal output natively.
