Pickem is a camera for the things you notice. Press and hold an object in the live camera view to take it as a Piece. Give it a name, carry it in your Pocket, and bring it into a new photo. Arrange Pieces yourself: move, resize, and layer them to make a new image. Or choose Make to create an AI-assisted composition from your destination photo, the Pieces you select, and your written idea. Make sends only those chosen inputs for processing when you request it.

Could you build this?
Partial The camera capture, pocketing, and layout canvas are standard mobile work. Real-time object lifting from the live camera feed and quality AI image generation depend on on-device segmentation and generative models that need tuning.
What it would actually take: The stack would be native iOS with AVFoundation for the camera and Apple's Vision framework for subject segmentation, plus a compositing canvas. The hard part is clean, low-latency object extraction from live video and believable blending when pieces are combined. Generative 'Make' features can call hosted image models, but polished results need an engineer experienced with on-device ML and image compositing.
