Could you build this?
Partial The search, citation, and API surface is vibe-codeable, but making videos queryable to the second requires a transcription and multimodal indexing pipeline. That pipeline needs real engineering at scale.
What it would actually take: A real version would combine speech-to-text with timestamps, frame sampling or a multimodal model for visual content, and a vector or hybrid index that maps results back to exact timecodes. Channel monitoring needs ingestion jobs and queueing. The hard parts are cost and latency at scale and retrieval quality, which need people experienced in media pipelines and search infrastructure.
