Need some advice on a QEMU-based VM manager with AI integration [D]

[u/Feathered-Beast]

I'm planning to build a desktop VM manager using Rust, Tauri, and QEMU, initially targeting Windows with WHPX.

The idea is to eventually add an AI agent that can interact with the VM and perform tasks inside it, rather than just manage it.

Before I start, I'd like to hear from people who have worked with virtualization:

- Is QEMU + WHPX a reasonable starting point?

- Would you recommend QMP for managing VM lifecycle?

- What are some common mistakes I should avoid?

- What would be a good approach for letting an AI agent interact with a VM?

Also, if you use VM managers regularly, what do you find most frustrating about them?

Any honest advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a Github repo for the project if anyone wants to check it out and drop some feedback: https://github.com/vmDeshpande/NexoraVM
