Could you build this?
Partial The website and video generation wrappers are simple, but maintaining a continuous 24/7 low-latency live broadcast feed spliced seamlessly with on-demand generated video is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: Requires a video rendering pipeline connecting generative video APIs (e.g., HeyGen, Runway, or open-source diffusion models) with an automated script-generation pipeline. Splicing newly rendered video spots into a continuous broadcast without stream drops requires an RTMP/HLS streaming server (like FFmpeg workers feeding into an AWS MediaLive or Livepeer ingest). Handling queuing, real-time video concatenation, and zero-downtime livestream playout is the primary infrastructure challenge.
