Could you build this?
Partial The product is a managed agent running in persistent cloud sandboxes with messaging and deployment hooks. A thin version is buildable by wrapping existing sandbox and agent APIs, but reliable persistent VMs at scale under flat unlimited pricing needs serious infrastructure work.
What it would actually take: A real version needs isolated, persistent VM or container sandboxes per user, such as Firecracker-based or hosted sandbox providers, with snapshotting and resource quotas. It also needs an agent loop built on a frontier model, plus messaging and deployment integrations. The hard part is cost control and reliability at scale under unlimited-usage pricing, which needs infrastructure engineers.
