Could you build this?

Partial The UI, encrypted SQLite memory store, and Web Audio teleprinter are vibe-codeable, but running local neural inference well on Apple Silicon requires performance-tuned model runtimes and native macOS work.

What it would actually take: The stack would be a native Swift/SwiftUI app wrapping an on-device runtime such as MLX or Core ML/llama.cpp with Metal acceleration. The hard parts are efficient quantized model inference, a graph-memory retrieval design, and secure local storage. This needs ML-systems and macOS performance expertise.
