02Could AI build it for you?

The core job: Record screen/webcam, combine tracks, trim, render, upload, and generate a clean share page.

What a working version needs:

browser MediaRecorder or desktop capture
ffmpeg for rendering
object storage
small hosted app

More attainable than Loom; good 'yes but you lose polish' entry.

03What you'd give up

beautiful layouts
browser extension/native polish
templates
team sharing
reliable video hosting

They pay because they want a video that looks good without editing or deployment chores.
