Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping STT and LLM rewrite APIs is trivial, reliable cross-app screen context reading and text injection on macOS require fragile, low-level operating system hooks.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a native Swift macOS app leveraging ScreenCaptureKit, Quartz Event Taps, and the macOS Accessibility framework (AXUIElement). The primary challenge is handling diverse, non-standard accessibility trees across third-party apps (especially Electron and web wrappers) and managing low-latency streaming audio transcription. It demands specialized macOS desktop engineering and deep familiarity with Apple's security sandboxing and accessibility APIs.

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