Could you build this?
Partial A frontend wrapper around Nous Research's agent is easy to prototype, but the underlying Hermes system combines sandboxed code execution across multiple runtimes, background sub-agent orchestration, and multi-protocol chat gateways.
What it would actually take: Building this platform involves a core agent engine running in Python/Rust that manages persistent memory graphs, task delegation trees, and tool calling across disparate messaging adapters (WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Discord). The hard infrastructure requirement is the sandboxing layer, which provisions and manages secure ephemeral execution runtimes across Docker, SSH, and cloud environments like Modal.

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