Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron or native UI wrapper is accessible, executing fully local multimodal voice-to-action on Apple Silicon—integrating local Whisper, local vision LLMs, and native macOS Accessibility/AppleScript automation—requires complex local system engineering.
What it would actually take: The app requires a native Swift/macOS architecture integrating ScreenCaptureKit for screen frame grabbing, Apple's Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement) and AppleScript for OS automation, alongside optimized on-device inference runtimes (e.g., whisper.cpp and llama.cpp/MLX) utilizing Apple Silicon Neural Engine/Metal for real-time latency. The primary challenge is reliable OS UI tree parsing, latency minimization, and robust local action execution without hallucinated misclicks.
