Could you build this?

No A Postgres extension requires C and PostgreSQL internals expertise plus a high-performance vector search engine, which vibe coding cannot reliably produce or debug.

What it would actually take: Build a native Postgres extension in C using the PGXS and hooks for index access methods, backed by an ANN index such as HNSW or a custom IVF/graph implementation. The hard parts are crash-safe on-disk index storage, WAL integration, concurrency, and tuning recall against latency. This takes experienced database internals engineers and substantial testing.
