Could you build this?

Partial A Postgres extension that wraps vector indexing can be prototyped with AI help, but a production version requires C-level Postgres internals, index correctness, and concurrency safety. Those need specialized database engineering.

What it would actually take: The stack would be C against the PostgreSQL extension API, likely building on pgvector-style ANN indexes such as HNSW or IVF. The hard parts are WAL and crash-safe index writes, concurrent access, and performance tuning, which need experienced database internals engineers and extensive testing.
