Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic LLM wrapper are vibe-codeable, but robust paper search, academic citation graph parsing, and accurate citation verification require specialized data pipelines.
What it would actually take: The system requires an Electron or Tauri desktop shell connecting to academic APIs (Semantic Scholar, Crossref, arXiv) and vector databases. The difficult parts are building high-precision PDF parsing for academic layouts, hallucination-resistant RAG, and citation graph traversal. This demands expertise in document AI, citation network data engineering, and agent evaluation frameworks.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
