Partial The Windows app shell, settings UI and local noise suppression can be vibe-coded using existing audio ML models. Controlling AirPods (noise modes, ear detection, battery) depends on Apple's proprietary Bluetooth protocol, which must be reverse-engineered.
What it would actually take: Use Windows Bluetooth APIs and reverse-engineered AAP (Apple Accessory Protocol) packets to read battery, ear detection and set ANC modes; open-source projects like LibrePods show the approach. Mic noise suppression can use an open model such as RNNoise or DeepFilterNet running locally. The hard part is protocol reverse engineering across AirPods models and Windows Bluetooth stack quirks, which needs low-level Bluetooth and audio expertise.
