Could you build this?

Partial The chat UI, bot management, and multi-platform clients are vibe-codeable, but per-bot isolated computers and self-hosted deployment require real sandboxing and infrastructure work.

What it would actually take: Build a web frontend plus a backend that orchestrates LLM calls through provider APIs or OpenAI-compatible endpoints, with a shared conversation store. Each bot's isolated computer would need containers or microVMs (Docker, Firecracker, or gVisor) with secure tool execution, resource limits, and network policies. Native desktop and mobile apps add packaging and release work, and a solid security review is needed before running untrusted agent code.
