Could you build this?
Partial The search API and frontend are standard to build. The value lies in a large, curated dataset of verified story arcs and timestamped scene citations, and that curation is labor-intensive and hard for a newcomer to replicate.
What it would actually take: The stack is a typical search API, such as a vector index plus a relational store, with embeddings for semantic retrieval. The hard part is building and verifying the data: aggregating metadata from many sources, creating timestamped scene citations, and validating story arcs. That requires a sustained curation effort, probably with editors or annotators, plus data-licensing arrangements.
