Could you build this?
Partial The management dashboard and agent prompts are standard to build, but recreating Managed Agents requires isolated remote execution environments, durable execution workflows, and secure credential handling.
What it would actually take: Building a production self-hosted agent platform requires an orchestration engine like Temporal for durable execution, alongside on-demand microVMs (e.g., Firecracker or container sandboxes) where agents can run bash commands and edit code securely. Significant systems engineering is needed to handle sandbox snapshotting, state restoration, network isolation, and robust error recovery.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
