Could you build this?
Partial The photo upload, chat, and explanation UI are vibe-codeable with a vision model. Reliable authentication, however, depends on large proprietary reference libraries of authentic items and expert judgment that a generic model lacks.
What it would actually take: The app needs a vision-language pipeline plus a curated, continuously updated reference database of authentic stitching, logos, fonts, materials, and serial formats for each brand. It also needs authentication expertise to validate outputs and calibrate false positives, since a wrong 'real' call has real financial cost. The hard part is the data and expert review, not the app shell.
