Could you build this?
No OpenVector builds a low-bandwidth, high-speed Vision-Language-Action (VLA) engine running on live edge camera streams to trigger complex robotic/desktop UI automations. Edge video stream ingestion, low-latency VLA model inference, and cross-platform desktop automation require specialized embedded and physical AI engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture involves an on-premise edge RTSP stream processor, hardware-accelerated VLM inference (e.g., TensorRT-LLM on Jetson or local servers), event classification pipelines, and a resilient agent execution engine (RPA/OS automation via accessibility APIs or custom vision-driven desktop drivers). Building this requires computer vision research, edge ML systems engineering, and robust real-time streaming protocols.
