Could you build this?
No Running remote, low-latency interactive Android instances in the cloud for AI agents requires substantial virtualization, GPU acceleration, and streaming infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Requires orchestration of containerized Android OS (Anbox or Redroid) on bare-metal cloud servers with hardware GPU passthrough. You need low-latency WebRTC video/input streaming, ADB bridge management, and resilient agent automation drivers at multi-tenant scale.
