Could you build this?
Partial The user-facing prompt-to-scraper interface is straightforward, but the autonomous maintenance engine that continuously detects DOM mutations and repairs scraping scripts across arbitrary anti-bot protected sites requires robust crawler infra.
What it would actually take: Building this requires an automated LLM feedback loop running against headless browser farms (Playwright/Puppeteer with stealth plugins) and proxy rotation networks. The hardest technical piece is the self-healing heuristic engine: running synthetic cron jobs, diffing DOM changes when extractions fail, and re-synthesizing robust CSS/XPath/Cheerio extraction logic without human intervention. This requires specialized web-scraping infrastructure and reverse-engineering experience with bot-mitigation systems.

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