Can you? Of course; you just did. Your characters, I might point out, are not inaminate. They are alive. They have thought, opinion, and agency. They may be made of silicon, but they are not "inanimate."

Someone on this board recommended a story told from the viewpoint of a sentient pregnancy test. Anything is possible with the right execution.
