Could you build this?

No The product is a physical Bluetooth desk companion that requires hardware design, electronics, manufacturing, and firmware, which vibe coding cannot produce.

What it would actually take: A real version needs industrial and electronics design, a custom PCB with Bluetooth LE and a motion or tap sensor, a small actuator for the wobble, enclosure tooling, and firmware. Manufacturing, certification (FCC/CE), and supply chain expertise are also required, and the web preview is only a software mock.
