Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping open-source models like Whisper and Llama.cpp inside an Electron or native UI is feasible, managing cross-platform local hardware acceleration and background system audio capture is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native desktop shell (Swift/Electron/Tauri) bundling ONNX Runtime, llama.cpp, and Whisper.cpp with platform-specific hardware acceleration (Apple Metal / CoreML / DirectML). Hard parts include low-latency OS-level accessibility/audio capture hooks and memory/thermal management when running concurrent generative models locally.

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