Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping browser automation (Playwright/Puppeteer) with LLM prompts is accessible, creating an ultrafast, reliable autonomous browser agent that avoids bot detection and handles dynamic DOMs requires specialized engineering.
What it would actually take: Building a reliable, fast browser agent requires Playwright/Puppeteer orchestration coupled with visual grounding models, DOM tree distillation algorithms, and anti-bot fingerprint spoofing. The core difficulty is maintaining sub-second interaction loops, handling complex SPAs/canvas elements, and implementing robust error-recovery loops when DOM structures mutate unexpectedly.

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