Could you build this?

Partial The upload, review, and export UI is standard, but accurate PII detection across PDFs, images, audio, and Office files plus true content removal (not just overlays) is technically hard.

What it would actually take: The stack would combine an NER/PII model (or a cloud API), OCR for scanned documents, and file-format libraries that actually strip text from PDF content streams and scrub metadata. Audio redaction needs speech-to-text with timestamps. The hard parts are recall on PII and verifiable true removal, which call for document-processing and security expertise and extensive testing.
