Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic CLI can be vibe-coded, but building a custom multi-session browser multiplexer that cleanly isolates profiles, manages split-pane webviews, and exposes an agentic CLI control protocol is technically demanding.
What it would actually take: This requires a customized Electron or Chromium/CEF shell architecture with low-level IPC controlling isolated browser context sessions, memory management, and custom window tiling. The hardest part is implementing a resilient headless/headful agent RPC protocol (similar to CDP or Playwright bindings) that allows CLI agents to manipulate background sessions without hijacking the active user's focus or state.
