Could you build this?

Partial A chat app wrapping an on-device model is feasible, but efficient local inference across phones and computers and token-level uncertainty visualization require ML engineering depth.

What it would actually take: A real version would bundle a quantized open model with a runtime such as llama.cpp, MLX, or ONNX/Core ML, plus an encrypted local store for chats. The hard parts are getting acceptable speed and memory on consumer devices and exposing per-token logprobs to highlight uncertain words and offer alternatives. An offline knowledge bundle for the Wikipedia feature adds data-pipeline work.
