Could you build this?
Partial The LLM agent logic and browser automation orchestration are vibe-codeable, but creating an undetected browser that reliably circumvents enterprise bot-detection (Cloudflare, Akamai, Datadome) requires hard low-level anti-fingerprinting engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture combines headless browser orchestration (Playwright/Puppeteer/CDP), AI task planners, and proxy rotation infrastructure. The hard problem is patching Chromium's C++ source code to alter canvas, WebGL, WebRTC, TLS fingerprinting (JA4/JA3), and timing side-channels to avoid bot mitigation solutions like Kasada, Cloudflare, and DataDome. Developing and continuously updating these low-level patches requires deep reverse engineering of anti-bot heuristics.
