Could you build this?
No Building a native macOS background agent that continuously captures screen frames, interprets UI hierarchies via Accessibility APIs, and reliably automates arbitrary desktop applications requires advanced native OS systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/Objective-C integration with macOS Accessibility (AXUIElement), ScreenCaptureKit, CoreGraphics event posting, and IPC. The core difficulties are low-latency multimodal screen processing, OS permissions management, and robust computer-use agent execution across dynamic GUI layouts, requiring deep macOS platform internals experience.
