Could you build this?

No Building an autonomous, multi-tenant AI coworker platform requires complex sandbox environments, persistent agent memory, tool runtimes, and low-latency interactive streaming.

What it would actually take: The architecture demands a secure distributed sandbox manager (e.g., Docker/gVisor/Firecracker) to run arbitrary tools and code for users, durable workflow engines for multi-step agent planning, fine-tuned context compaction techniques, and high-performance WebSocket streaming to replicate interactive collaborative desktop experiences. It requires distributed systems expertise, agentic orchestration architecture, and robust enterprise isolation.
