Description
Inkling is an AI answer engine that puts the source beside every sentence. Ask in Quick, Pro, or Research depth, get a second opinion, set watches that keep searching, translate whole files, and save it all to notes and to-dos that keep their citations.

Could you build this?
Partial While the interface, note-taking, and standard LLM wrapper features are vibe-codeable, building a reliable multi-depth search engine with accurate sentence-level citations requires sophisticated retrieval, reranking, and citation-attribution pipelines.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine Next.js, vector search (e.g., Pinecone/Qdrant), web search APIs (Brave/Tavily), and an LLM orchestration layer. The core difficulty is the attribution engine: breaking retrieved documents into discrete passages, dynamically aligning them with LLM output tokens without hallucinated references, and running recurring scheduled background workers for live watches.
