Could you build this?

Partial A floating desktop bar that feeds vision models is feasible, but real-time computer-use agents (CUA) requiring high-reliability macOS accessibility APIs and low-latency verify loops require significant systems work.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native macOS app (Swift/Objective-C) or Electron/Tauri bridge utilizing the macOS Accessibility (AXUIElement) APIs, CGWindowList screen capture, and native input injection (CGEvent). The difficult aspect is building an accurate, low-latency observe-act-verify feedback loop that reliably grounds UI elements without getting stuck or hallucinating clicks. It requires specialized engineering in native macOS accessibility internals and robust agentic orchestration.
