Could you build this?
Partial A desktop GUI for LLMs is simple, but an invisible overlay that avoids screen-capture detection (e.g., during video calls or proctoring) requires low-level OS windowing and graphics API manipulation.
What it would actually take: This requires native desktop development (C++/Swift/Rust) leveraging OS-specific window flags (like `SetWindowDisplayAffinity` on Windows or `NSWindowCollectionBehavior` on macOS) to exclude windows from screen captures. It also requires low-level global hotkey hooks, stealth process naming, and minimal memory footprint to prevent detection by anticheat or monitoring software.
