Could you build this?
No Creating a reliable, secure agentic browser capable of navigating arbitrary authenticated web interfaces, handling dynamic DOMs, and executing stateful workflows surpasses AI coding capability.
What it would actually take: Building Aside requires forking Chromium or building a custom desktop shell (via Tauri/Electron or native Swift/C++) tightly coupled with an automated browser automation runtime (CDP/Playwright). The core challenges are building an autonomous multimodal agent architecture capable of robust ground-truth DOM tree parsing, handling CAPTCHAs, managing anti-bot detection, and maintaining state across non-deterministic web pages while maintaining secure credential isolation. It demands a specialized team in autonomous web agents, browser internals, and computer vision.
