Could you build this?
Partial Capturing system audio on macOS requires low-level CoreAudio/ScreenCaptureKit APIs, and performing performant on-device transcription with accurate speaker diarization requires specialized native systems work.
What it would actually take: Building Speechmark requires a native Swift/Objective-C macOS application utilizing ScreenCaptureKit or virtual audio loopback drivers to capture both mic and internal meeting audio streams. Local transcription and diarization necessitate integrating Whisper (e.g. whisper.cpp via Metal) and a pyannote/CoreML-based diarization model optimized for Apple Silicon neural engines. The hard parts are seamless multi-channel audio loopback capture without kernel extensions and low-latency, low-memory local diarization.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
