Could you build this?

Partial The core agent loop (LLM tool-calling, web search, browser and shell tools, chat UI) is vibe-codeable, and open-source Manus clones already exist. A reliable, secure product needs hard sandboxing and orchestration infrastructure, plus agent-quality work that a solo builder can't get from vibe coding alone.

What it would actually take: Build a web frontend with a Python or Node backend that calls a frontier LLM with function calling. Each task runs in an isolated Docker or Firecracker sandbox with a headless browser, shell, and file system, streamed back to the UI. The hard parts are securely isolating untrusted code execution, keeping multi-step agent plans reliable, and scaling sandbox lifecycle and cost. That takes backend and security engineering, plus evaluation work to tune agent behavior.
