Could you build this?
Partial The UI, meeting-platform audio capture, and summary/email generation are vibe-codeable. Accurate on-device transcription across 22 languages and reliable local summarization are harder pieces.
What it would actually take: A real version would be a browser extension capturing tab audio, running a local speech model such as Whisper via WebAssembly or whisper.cpp, and using either a small local LLM or an optional API for summaries. The hard parts are multilingual transcription quality, speaker handling, and performance on consumer hardware, which call for speech and ML engineering experience.
