Could you build this?

Partial While the desktop UI and standard BYOK LLM calling are simple, building high-speed on-device local semantic search and robust deterministic provenance citation across heterogeneous files requires non-trivial local search infra.

What it would actually take: The stack typically uses Electron or Tauri with SQLite (sqlite-vec) or LanceDB running local ONNX embedding models (e.g., MiniLM via ONNX Runtime). The hard part is local multi-modal file parsing (complex PDFs, spreadsheets) and deterministic claim-to-source citation alignment without server-side compute.
