Could you build this?
Partial The workbench UI and model-agnostic plumbing are buildable, but credible scientific reproducibility and useful research workflows need domain expertise and validated tooling.
What it would actually take: A local-first version can use a desktop or web shell, a model-provider abstraction layer, notebook or pipeline execution, and versioned storage of experiments and provenance. The hard part is making reproducibility genuine, meaning environment capture, data lineage, and validated domain tools, which requires scientists who understand each field's methods. Building trustworthy analysis modules in specific disciplines takes subject-matter expertise beyond vibe coding.
