Partial A basic browser automation agent with an LLM and local Chrome driver is vibe-codeable, but operating reliably across protected platforms like TikTok and Instagram requires resilient anti-bot and cloud infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A production version requires an orchestration backend managing pools of headless browser sandboxes (using Playwright or CDP), residential proxy rotation, and sophisticated fingerprint masking to bypass Cloudflare and Datadome. The AI loop requires robust multimodal grounding and error-recovery algorithms to prevent agent hallucinations during dynamic, multi-step browser interactions.
