Could you build this?
Partial The UI and coaching-against-principles logic are vibe-codeable, but a local Mac app that captures and transcribes meeting audio with speaker separation and runs a local model needs native audio and ML work that is harder to get right.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a native macOS app (Swift) using ScreenCaptureKit or audio taps, an on-device speech model such as Whisper.cpp with speaker diarization, and a local or user-supplied LLM for feedback. The hard parts are reliable system-audio capture and diarization accuracy, which need audio/ML engineering, and privacy-preserving local inference that performs well on consumer hardware.
