Could you build this?

Partial Connecting an agent to macOS Accessibility APIs is straightforward, but reliably mapping dynamic, complex desktop UI accessibility trees to structured execution without computer vision fails across non-standard applications.

What it would actually take: The system requires a native Swift/Objective-C or Python wrapper interfacing with macOS `AXUIElement` APIs to scrape the UI hierarchy and trigger simulated mouse/keyboard events. The major challenge is parsing incomplete, inconsistent, or heavily nested AX trees (especially in web apps, Electron, and games) and translating high-level natural language instructions reliably into deterministic element actions. Expertise in macOS system programming and robust semantic element-tree parsing is essential.
