Partial The UI and OS input injection are vibe-codeable, but turning a proprietary earbud dial into events requires reverse engineering the device's Bluetooth protocol, which AI coding alone won't supply.
What it would actually take: Use a BLE stack per platform (WinRT on Windows, CoreBluetooth on macOS, Android BLE APIs) to connect to the earbuds and map dial gestures. The protocol must be reverse engineered by sniffing the official app's GATT traffic, which requires the hardware and some protocol analysis skill. Then add OS-level input mapping (media keys, volume, custom actions) per platform.
