Could you build this?
Partial A web dashboard allowing users to define tasks for AI agents is easy to build, but executing robust, autonomous ops workflows across multiple desktop and enterprise environments with unified cross-platform state requires intricate systems integration.
What it would actually take: Needs a backend workflow engine (like Temporal), headless browser automation (Playwright), and desktop clients (Capacitor/Tauri/Swift) wired into local OS APIs and enterprise SaaS platforms. The difficulty lies in sandboxing code execution, handling arbitrary failures in long-running multi-step tool calls, and maintaining consistent cross-device long-term memory.

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