Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic chat workspace are straightforward, but provisioning isolated dedicated cloud machines per user with private self-hosted LLM runtimes requires non-trivial infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The system requires an orchestration backend (e.g., Nomad, Kubernetes, or Firecracker microVMs on Hetzner/OVH in Finland) that dynamically spins up isolated single-tenant containers with dedicated compute and vector storage. Each sandbox must run a localized model server (vLLM or Ollama) and an encrypted persistent volume. Implementing secure tenant isolation, GPU scheduling, and strict zero-knowledge networking requires dedicated cloud DevOps expertise.
