Could you build this?
Partial A chat interface wrapping LLM APIs across platforms is vibe-codeable. The computer-use agent, design and slide generation, and polished multi-platform clients take substantial engineering and reliability work beyond prompting.
What it would actually take: The chat layer is a standard LLM wrapper, but computer-use requires a sandboxed agent that controls the OS through screenshots and input events, with permission and safety handling. Design and slide features need a rendering engine that produces editable layouts, not just images. Shipping native Mac, Windows, Linux, and iPhone clients with reliable agent behavior requires experienced systems and desktop engineering.
