Partial The agent orchestration and open-source publishing workflow is buildable with AI tools, but reliably reproducing a commercial app's core features and keeping them maintained requires real reverse-engineering and ongoing quality control.
What it would actually take: The platform needs a pipeline of coding agents that take a target app's spec or behavior, generate and test replacement code, and publish releases. The hard parts are behavior capture of closed-source apps (possibly via reverse-engineering APIs and clients), legal review of clean-room implementations, and test infrastructure to validate parity and keep it running continuously.
