Could you build this?
Partial Creating basic task automation is trivial, but an AI system that reliably models and mirrors an individual user's nuanced judgment requires custom evaluation loops and preference modeling.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires continuous collection of user implicit/explicit decisions, fine-tuning or DPO (Direct Preference Optimization) pipelines on small local models or dense prompt synthesis, and benchmark evaluators. The hard part is avoiding alignment drift and hallucinations while inferring subjective criteria from sparse human feedback.
