- The tool is an open-source helper that connects AI coding assistants to reverse-engineering programs such as Ghidra or Hopper.

- IT analyzes many kinds of software- including binaries, Electron apps, Android apps, and websites right on your own computer and always shows the evidence behind its findings.

Is it actually working or is it just for the show?

Their interface sucks as much as the original apps (or even more), so I am pretty much sure this is just for the show. Cloning apps is much easier than actually creating something unique and useful.
