Could you build this?
No Building a cross-platform autonomous computer-use agent across desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) and mobile (iOS) requires platform-level accessibility hooks, OS permission sandboxing, and real-time vision-to-action control.
What it would actually take: The system requires native OS accessibility drivers, platform-specific automation APIs (e.g., AppleScript/Accessibility APIs on macOS, UI Automation on Windows, X11/Wayland event injectors, and iOS WebDriverAgent/jailbreak daemons), paired with an LLM vision-action policy loop. Achieving low latency, resilient coordinate grounding across varying screen resolutions, and bypassing mobile sandbox limitations requires extensive systems engineering.
