Agentic AI Document Generation Platform
The Challenge
Knowledge workers spend significant time synthesizing information from disparate sources—technical reports, PDFs, presentations—into focused documents. Traditional solutions fall short: basic chatbots can't maintain long conversations, simple RAG systems lack autonomy, and most AI writing tools are glorified autocomplete.
The opportunity was clear: build an agentic AI system that could reason, act autonomously, and deliver production-quality documents. Not a chatbot—a true AI collaborator.
Solution Overview
I designed and built a complete, production-grade web application that transforms document synthesis workflows. The platform combines an interactive frontend, high-performance API backend, and sophisticated AI agent orchestration.
Key Outcomes: - Transforms multi-day manual synthesis into streamlined interactive sessions - Enables autonomous multi-step document creation from high-level commands - Provides secure, multi-user platform with session persistence
Technical Approach
Agentic AI with LangGraph
Traditional LLM applications follow basic request-response patterns that break down for complex, multi-step tasks. I needed the AI to maintain context across conversations, use tools autonomously, and loop through reasoning cycles.
LangGraph provides exactly this through its cyclical, stateful graph architecture. The agent operates as a directed graph with nodes for: - Context initialization: Loading source documents for RAG - Reasoning: LLM with tool-using capability analyzing user intent - Action execution: Autonomous tool invocation with results fed back into state
The key innovation: after each reasoning step, conditional logic determines whether to loop back for more reasoning or return to the user. A single command like "Draft a technical report on X" triggers an autonomous chain—reading sources, drafting sections, refining content—all without manual intervention.
RAG Implementation
I built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipeline handling multiple document formats: - Word documents, PowerPoint, and PDFs processed into clean markdown - Context-aware retrieval enabling the agent to reference source material - Optimized for typical enterprise document collections
