Could you build this?

Partial The voice and photo UI is vibe-codeable, but running a capable language model fully offline on both iPhone and Android requires on-device inference optimization and a model that is accurate on home repair. Getting that quality is harder than the app shell.

What it would actually take: Use an on-device runtime such as llama.cpp, MLX, MediaPipe LLM Inference, or Core ML with a quantized small open model, plus native speech-to-text and text-to-speech and a camera-based image input. The hard part is output quality and safety: making a small model give correct, step-by-step repair diagnostics requires curated repair knowledge, evaluation sets, and fine-tuning or retrieval, which needs ML engineering and domain-vetted content.
