It’s hard to imagine anyone wanting this to be real more than I do, but this is nowhere close to being ready to do actual work. Photographing real PCBs is hard, there is no fiducial maths, no actual probing is being done. It's just photos of a photo being piped into an agent. If it actually did what it claims, no reasonable person would exclude it from the demo video.

Could an agent no develop a bespoke correction algorithm for the photos of the photo?

Why feed it photos of a photo when you could just feed it the photo that was printed out?
