Multi-Agent Document-Generation Platform

Problem:

Turn a single prompt into a well-researched, structured and cited document, while keeping the user in control: every stage can be reviewed, corrected or revisited before the system moves on.

Architecture:

A multi-agent system orchestrated by a central controller. More than 20 specialised pydantic-ai subagents (understanding, structuring, planning, research, writing, assembly, cross-reference check, glossary, citation, reference table and more) pass results forward through a shared plan persisted in Postgres (asyncpg); a runner layer dispatches each task by name to its agent, and mechanical steps such as formatting, table of contents and list of figures are deterministic code instead of LLM calls. Provider (Anthropic or OpenAI) is a configuration setting, and responses stream over Server-Sent Events.

Hosting & Infrastructure:

Stateless container run as a Scaleway Serverless Container on a private network with managed PostgreSQL, object storage for finished documents and assets, and centralized log shipping (Loki / Scaleway Cockpit), provisioned with OpenTofu modules and deployed through GitLab CI; usage is metered per API key.

My Contribution & Key Decisions:

• Central decision controller: a satisfaction classifier turns the user's free-text feedback into a verdict (keep working, advance, cancel or revise an earlier task), and a middleware applies it to the plan. Plan progression supports jumping back to earlier tasks and re-running the stages after them.
• Research and writing fan-out: planning produces a plan from which a research-design agent generates individual research tasks and a writing-design agent generates individual writing tasks, each linked to the research it needs. Every task runs in its own dedicated agent with its own conversation history.
• Self-review and human-in-the-loop: after each step a critical-thinking agent reviews the output; the user can accept, refine, or ask questions about a critique before the plan advances.
• MCP integrations: two remote MCP servers, web search and internal document search, connected through pydantic-ai with retries and long-running tool-call timeouts. Classifier agents decide per task whether web search is needed, and a small model condenses raw search results into structured findings before they reach the writing agents.

Usage Metering:

Clients authenticate with an API key validated against a key-management service; consumption is charged in credits calculated from token usage per model plus a markup, and exhausted quota is answered with HTTP 429.

Task:

• Complete and continuously update a tool evaluation matrix based on PoC results
• Support team knowledge building through clear documentation of the approach and results in Confluence
