Could you build this?

Partial The UI, payments, and upload flow are easy to vibe-code, but producing faithful restorations and natural colorization that preserve faces depends on model quality and tuning that AI coding alone won't deliver.

What it would actually take: A practical build would chain existing restoration and colorization models (for example GFPGAN-style face restoration with a scratch-removal and colorization model) behind a web upload pipeline with GPU hosting. The hard part is tuning the pipeline so faces stay unchanged and colors look natural, which requires ML expertise and a curated evaluation set.
