Could you build this?
Partial The scheduling, reminders, and learning from manual changes are vibe-codeable. Reliable control of external monitors over DDC/CI across varied hardware, plus Windows display APIs, requires low-level hardware knowledge the assistant can't supply reliably.
What it would actually take: The UI, settings, and time-based brightness logic are straightforward Windows app work. The hard part is driving external monitors through DDC/CI and the Windows display stack, which varies by manufacturer and GPU. It needs someone comfortable with Win32/WMI-level APIs and enough hardware testing to cover different displays.
