Could you build this?
Partial The UI and summary/action-item workflow are buildable, but a robust offline version needs reliable on-device transcription and summarization plus cross-platform system audio capture, which are harder than typical vibe-coded work.
What it would actually take: Build a desktop app (Electron, Tauri, or native) that captures microphone and system audio and runs on-device speech-to-text such as whisper.cpp or faster-whisper. Add a local LLM (llama.cpp or similar) for summaries, with optional cloud AI behind a toggle. Engineering effort goes into performance tuning on consumer hardware, audio capture across OSes, and handling speaker separation.
