Could you build this?

Partial The dashboard UI and navigation of a replica can be vibe-coded quickly, but Profound's core value depends on tracking brand mentions across AI answer engines, which needs live data collection that a UI clone cannot provide.

What it would actually take: A UI-only educational clone with mock or seeded SQLite data is straightforward in Next.js. A functional version would need a scheduled pipeline that runs prompts against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and similar tools, parses and stores citations over time, and handles rate limits, anti-bot measures and possibly proxies. That data-collection and time-series layer is the hard part, and it requires data engineering experience and ongoing operating costs.
