Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron or Tauri desktop UI with local LLM integration is vibe-codeable, building a reliable Chief of Staff that passively captures, indexes, and contextually recalls cross-application OS activity requires low-level system hooks and memory management.
What it would actually take: A full version requires background OS-level activity tracking (accessibility APIs, screen/window OCR, active application monitoring on macOS/Windows) feeding an efficient local SQLite/vector store like SQLite-vec. The hard parts are maintaining low CPU/battery consumption during continuous background indexing and writing robust retrieval algorithms over diverse work context streams without leaking privacy or causing hallucinations.
