Could you build this?
Partial The notch UI and AI-generated mini-apps are vibe-codeable in Swift, but deep macOS system integration, notch positioning and meeting audio capture need native platform expertise.
What it would actually take: The stack is a native Swift/SwiftUI macOS app with a window anchored to the notch area, system audio and calendar access, and an on-device or cloud LLM for voice Q&A. The hard parts are reliable notch and system-level APIs, meeting audio capture and permissions, and sandboxed execution of user-described mini-apps, which requires macOS platform engineering experience.
