Could you build this?
Partial Building a custom macOS notch overlay and orchestrating background CLI processes with real-time bidirectional terminal streaming requires specialized native macOS API programming.
What it would actually take: The software relies on Swift and AppKit with custom `NSWindow` / `NSPanel` manipulation specifically calibrated to sit flush against the hardware MacBook camera housing (`NSScreen.auxiliaryTopLeftArea` / `auxiliaryTopRightArea`). The core challenge lies in building robust pseudo-terminal (PTY) wrappers and sub-process lifecycle managers that hook into 14+ disparate CLI tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to capture ANSI streams, inspect structured tool invocations, and intercept STDIN for approval gates without hanging. It requires an experienced macOS native systems developer familiar with Cocoa windowing quirks and UNIX IPC.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
