Could you build this?
Partial While the desktop shell and UI are vibe-codeable, building a robust, fully local audio recording, diarization, and embedded model inference pipeline is technically demanding.
What it would actually take: A production version requires Tauri or Electron with a native backend (Rust/C++) bundling whisper.cpp, a local LLM runner like llama.cpp, and an ONNX-based speaker diarization pipeline (such as pyannote). The hardest parts are cross-platform system audio loopback capture without administrative permission friction and managing memory/CPU constraints when running STT, diarization, and LLM inference locally on consumer machines.
