Could you build this?
Partial The workspace shell, file viewing, and chat are vibe-codeable, but running notebooks securely for many users and supporting scientific file formats at research quality needs serious infrastructure and domain-specific tooling.
What it would actually take: Assemble a web app around JupyterHub or a Jupyter kernel gateway running in per-user sandboxed containers, with collaborative editing (CRDT-based, e.g., Yjs) and an LLM assistant with tool access to the data. The hard parts are secure multi-tenant compute, storage and parsers for scientific formats (HDF5, FITS, genomics files), and research-grade reproducibility, which require infrastructure and domain engineering.
