Hi Isaac,
This is a hard problem and an area of active research. Search for
"program synthesis" [1] to see a selection of work in this field.
Generally programs are built from descriptions in formal languages which
are much more structured than Org-mode, although some have also tried to
automatically write programs from man pages [2].
Armando Solar-Lezama's work [3] is related if we are including code
snippets in Org-mode code blocks, namely "program sketching" [4] which
attempts to build programs from incomplete program-language sketches and
test cases.
Best,
