Could you build this?
Partial Building a CLI wrapper is easy, but integrating multimodal embeddings, local vector index caching, and fast multimodal chunking/search across media formats requires specialized ML/search pipelines.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires local or API-backed vision-language embedding models (such as CLIP or SigLIP) with an embedded vector index (like SQLite-vec or Faiss) running locally. It requires building fast multithreaded directory traversers, multimodal content extractors (handling images, PDFs, audio, code), and efficient vector similarity search routines in Rust or Python.
