Could you build this?
Partial The LLM task routing and voice transcription APIs are standard, but building a seamless native macOS notch overlay with system-level automation requires platform-specific Swift/macOS development.
What it would actually take: Requires a native Swift application using AppKit/SwiftUI that positions an NSWindow directly over the MacBook notch region, integrates with Whisper/Apple Speech recognition, and invokes macOS Accessibility APIs, NSWorkspace, and AppleScript/JXA for application automation. The main challenge is managing native OS permissions, sandboxing, and notch geometry across different Mac models.
