Description
Shadow is the AI interface for your Mac. It sees your screen, hears your voice, and runs the prompts you build — on a keyboard shortcut, or in your meetings. 🪄 Skills do the work. Quick Reply drafts emails from what you say and what’s on screen. Voice Typing turns talking into clean text, anywhere. Meeting Skills capture every word and screen, then deliver notes and follow-ups the moment you hang up. Build your own — every Skill is a prompt, a context, and an output.

Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping audio transcription and vision models into prompts is standard, continuous background audio loopback capture, active window visual tracking, and meeting detection on macOS require specialized native APIs.
What it would actually take: The app needs a native Swift macOS client leveraging ScreenCaptureKit for selective application window capture and CoreAudio / virtual audio loopback drivers (or AVAudioEngine hooks) to capture both mic and system output without echo. Processing requires a robust local or streamed STT pipeline (e.g., Whisper/Deepgram) with speaker diarization before passing context into LLM agent skills.
