Could you build this?
Partial While the desktop wrapper and metadata catalog are straightforward, embedding local multimodal AI models to perform performant local video scene indexing and vector search across user libraries is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: The app needs a desktop runtime (Tauri or Electron) orchestrating a local background worker pipeline that samples video keyframes using FFmpeg. It requires running quantized CLIP/SigLIP models via ONNX Runtime or native acceleration (Metal/DirectML) and storing embeddings in an embedded vector database like SQLite-vec or LanceDB, demanding expertise in local ML inference optimization and storage management.
