Could you build this?
No The product depends on computer-vision models trained on proprietary utility-infrastructure video data, plus domain and safety expertise for power-line vegetation management, none of which vibe coding can provide.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a trained detection and segmentation pipeline for vegetation near conductors, which requires a large labeled dataset of utility footage and ML engineers to train and validate it. It also needs domain experts to meet utility safety standards and to integrate with inspection workflows. The hard parts are data and model accuracy, not the front end.
