Could you build this?

Partial The upload-and-result UI is vibe-codeable, but matching a face or photo to the correct Chiikawa character needs a trained vision model and a curated character image dataset that vibe coding alone won't produce.

What it would actually take: The core is an image-to-character classifier or embedding matcher, which requires a labeled dataset of Chiikawa character art and fine-tuning or training a vision model. On-device processing means the model must run efficiently in the browser or on a phone. The UI, transformation animation, and share cards can be built with AI-assisted front-end work, but the matching model needs ML expertise and data.
