## Description

This project is a conversational assistant and retrieval-augmented generation system designed to provide technical answers from official documentation and support knowledge bases. It implements a retrieval architecture that routes queries through specialized tools and utilizes a model abstraction layer to switch between different chat and embedding providers without modifying core integration code.

The system employs a graph-based state machine for durable agent execution, enabling state persistence and human-in-the-loop interactions. It features an agentic middleware framework that allows for the incremental addition of guardrails, such as off-topic query filtering and the validation of external web links.

The platform covers a broad range of capabilities including dual-source vector retrieval, intent-based query filtering, and workflow orchestration. It also includes observability tools for tracing tool calls and monitoring execution latency to debug complex agent behaviors.
