Description
Semwright is an open-source Rust runtime for AI agents working with desktop and professional software. Through structured drivers, agents can interact with application objects and project data, while a shared runtime handles permissions, execution, dependencies, artifact handoffs, and verification. It supports MCP without being limited to a single protocol, model, or agent. Build workflows across applications without rebuilding the same integration infrastructure for each one.

Could you build this?
No Building a systems-level Rust runtime with custom drivers to hook into desktop OS accessibility/API internals, sandboxed process execution, dependency graphs, and secure permission handling requires deep systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Semwright requires deep systems programming in Rust, OS-level API interception, and native accessibility/automation protocol drivers (UI Automation on Windows, Accessibility API on macOS, AT-SPI on Linux). The architecture involves a security sandboxing engine, inter-process communication (IPC) daemon, dependency graph execution engine, and fine-grained capabilities-based permission controls. This demands veteran systems developers experienced with low-level OS internals and security architecture.
