Could you build this?
Partial The iOS app shell, scheduled calls, and chat UI are vibe-codeable by wrapping realtime voice AI APIs, but a convincing product depends on natural-sounding Korean conversation and persona quality that generic prompting may not deliver.
What it would actually take: Build a native iOS app (Swift) with scheduled local or push-triggered calls, using a realtime speech-to-speech model API for conversation. The hard part is tuning Korean and English code-switching, latency, and a consistent culturally specific persona, which requires native-speaker evaluation and iterative prompt/voice work. Native-speaker QA and some fine-tuning or curated conversation data are needed for quality.
