Could you build this?

Partial While the UI and LLM integration are easy, low-latency system-level audio capture on macOS (capturing both mic and system audio without a virtual bot) combined with reliable local speaker diarization requires specialized native macOS audio engineering.

What it would actually take: A production version requires a native Swift/macOS app using CoreAudio and ScreenCaptureKit for loopback system audio recording without third-party audio drivers. Audio chunks must be passed to embedded Whisper (via whisper.cpp or MLX) and an on-device diarization model (like PyAnnote converted to CoreML/ONNX). Tuning real-time multi-channel audio synchronization, memory management for local ML models, and macOS permission models represents the main engineering hurdle.
