Could you build this?
Partial The command palette and workspace interfaces are vibe-codeable, but robust macOS system integrations—including low-level window management, accessibility hooks, and local MLX execution—present significant systems-level hurdles.
What it would actually take: Building a reliable version requires a native Swift application interfacing with Quartz Event Services and macOS Accessibility APIs for window manipulation across spaces and multi-monitor setups. It also requires integrating Apple's MLX Swift runtime and Whisper models directly with optimized memory management for Apple Silicon unified memory. The hard parts are navigating fragile macOS accessibility permissions, handling edge cases across OS updates, and orchestrating local model lifecycles without leaking memory.

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