Could you build this?
Partial The app shell, transcription pipeline, and retrieval-augmented Q&A with citations are vibe-codeable. Keeping everything on the user's own devices and syncing across them is the harder part.
What it would actually take: Architecture would be an on-device speech-to-text model (e.g. Whisper variants), speaker diarization, and a local or hybrid embedding store with citation-linked retrieval over transcripts. The hard parts are running multilingual transcription and LLM inference efficiently on consumer hardware and making encrypted cross-device sync work without a server that sees the data. That needs ML/inference engineering and security expertise.
