Could you build this?

Partial The 71 utilities and the in-browser UI are vibe-codeable by wrapping libraries like pdf-lib, PDF.js and WASM tools, but true stream-level redaction across seven legal regimes and local AI on WebGPU are harder to get right.

What it would actually take: Use a client-side stack: pdf-lib or MuPDF compiled to WebAssembly for manipulation, PDF.js for rendering, Tesseract.js for OCR, and WebGPU runtimes for local models. The hard part is real redaction, which must remove underlying text, image and metadata streams rather than overlay boxes, and must be verified. Jurisdiction-specific claims (GDPR, HIPAA, DPDP, FOIA) need legal and security review, plus extensive testing against adversarial PDFs.
