Could you build this?

Partial A launcher UI and camera grid are vibe-codeable as an Android TV app, but Netflix, HBO, and YouTube rows depend on platform partner APIs, and AI picks need a model or recommendation backend.

What it would actually take: This would be an Android TV app using the Leanback library and the TV Channels/Watch Next APIs, an RTSP/ONVIF player for cameras, and an LLM-backed recommendation service. The hard parts are official streaming-app integrations, which are restricted to partners, and DRM-protected content, which cannot be pulled into a custom home screen.
