Could you build this?
Partial Basic UI and API integration for desktop automation is feasible, but robust OS-level GUI agent control on Windows requires low-level accessibility APIs and reliable screen-to-action grounding.
What it would actually take: Requires an agent loop leveraging Windows UI Automation (UIA) APIs, Win32 hooks, and visual grounding models (e.g., OmniParser or vision-LLMs). The hardest parts are handling asynchronous UI state changes, focus stealing, high-DPI scaling, and multi-monitor setups without brittle coordinate drift. Requires specialized experience in Windows systems programming and multimodal desktop automation.

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