Could you build this?
Partial The AI orchestration software is straightforward to vibe-code, but coordinating Bluetooth Low Energy HID peripheral emulation on an ESP32-S3 microcontroller requires embedded systems expertise.
What it would actually take: The system requires an ESP-IDF or Arduino firmware running on an ESP32-S3 to simulate a BLE Human Interface Device (mouse/keyboard) along with custom GPIO pin control. A host application (iOS/macOS) runs an LLM agent that interprets screen state and translates actions into low-latency BLE HID packets, requiring both embedded firmware development and hardware validation.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a hardware & robotics tool for Fintech yet.
