Could you build this?
Partial The UI for managing coding agents is vibe-codeable, but running many parallel isolated cloud machines needs real sandboxing and orchestration infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A real version would combine a web and CLI frontend with an orchestration layer that provisions isolated VMs or microVMs such as Firecracker, Fly Machines, or a sandbox provider like E2B. The hard parts are secure multi-tenant isolation, fast boot times, billing, and persistent state across many concurrent sessions, which require infrastructure engineering at scale.
