Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron or native wrapper capturing screenshots and querying a vision-language model is vibe-codeable, reliable multi-step GUI grounding and autonomous OS-level mouse control remain notoriously brittle.
What it would actually take: A real version requires OS accessibility APIs (like macOS AXUIElement), low-latency screen capture pipelines, and specialized vision-action models (e.g., OSWorld/ShowUI-style models fine-tuned on GUI interaction). Precision bounding-box detection across dynamic resolutions and multi-step error recovery require substantial testing and custom agent orchestration beyond simple prompt wrappers.
