# AGIHouse Conversational Analysis Engine (CAE)

A sophisticated system that combines Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) with Large Language Model evaluation to optimize conversation paths across multiple domains.

## Features

- **Multi-Domain Support**: Technical support, sales, education, emotional intelligence
- **MCTS Algorithm**: Advanced conversation path optimization
- **Semantic Caching**: 60-80% performance improvement for similar conversations
- **Resource Management**: Configurable limits and cost controls
- **Production Ready**: Docker deployment, monitoring, security

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites
- Python 3.11+
- PostgreSQL 15+
- Redis 6+
- Docker & Docker Compose

### Installation
```bash
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/MVPandey/CAE.git
cd CAE

# Setup environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your settings

# Run with Docker Compose
docker-compose up -d

Basic Usage

import httpx

# Analyze conversation
response = httpx.post("http://localhost:8000/api/analyze", json={
    "messages": [
        {"role": "user", "content": "I'm having trouble with my computer"},
        {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'd be happy to help. What specific issue are you experiencing?"}
    ],
    "domain": "technical_support",
    "config": {
        "mcts_iterations": 5,
        "branching_factor": 3
    }
})

result = response.json()
print(f"Best response: {result['best_response']}")
print(f"Confidence: {result['confidence_score']}")

API Documentation

Authentication

All API endpoints require authentication. Include your API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer your-api-key-here

Core Endpoints

• POST /api/analyze - Analyze conversation and get optimal response
• GET /api/domains - List available conversation domains
• GET /api/config/domains/{domain} - Get domain configuration template
• GET /health - Health check endpoint

Domain Support

• Technical Support: Helpdesk, troubleshooting, product support
• Sales: Lead qualification, demos, negotiations
• Education: Tutoring, training, knowledge transfer
• Emotional Intelligence: Therapy, counseling, emotional support
• General: Multi-purpose conversation analysis

Architecture

Core Components

• MCTS Algorithm: Optimizes conversation paths using tree search
• Domain Abstraction: Plugin system for different conversation types
• Semantic Cache: Redis-based caching with embedding similarity
• LLM Service: Unified evaluation combining generation, simulation, scoring
• Resource Management: Configurable limits and budget controls

Performance Optimizations

• Unified LLM Evaluation: Reduces API calls by 66%
• Semantic Caching: 60-80% performance improvement
• Progressive Tree Widening: Adaptive resource allocation
• Early Stopping: Convergence-based optimization

Configuration

Environment Variables

# Core Settings
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-key
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/cae
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379

# Resource Limits
MAX_API_CALLS_PER_REQUEST=50
MAX_TOKENS_PER_REQUEST=10000
MAX_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=300

# Security

AUTH_ENABLED=true

Domain Configuration

# Custom domain setup
from app.services.conversation_analysis.domain_registry import domain_registry
from app.services.conversation_analysis.domains.custom import CustomDomain

# Register custom domain
custom_domain = CustomDomain(
    scoring_metrics=["accuracy", "helpfulness", "clarity"],
    mcts_parameters={"exploration_constant": 1.2, "branching_factor": 3}
)
domain_registry.register_domain(custom_domain)

Development

Running Tests

Deployment

Production Deployment

# Build production image
docker build -f Dockerfile.prod -t cae:production .

# Deploy with Docker Compose
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

# Setup SSL certificates
./scripts/setup-ssl.sh yourdomain.com

Monitoring

• Metrics: Prometheus + Grafana dashboards
• Logging: Centralized logging with Loki
• Alerting: Critical issue notifications
• Health Checks: Automated uptime monitoring

Performance

Benchmarks

• Response Time: P95 < 5 seconds for conversation analysis
• Throughput: 100+ concurrent users supported
• Cost Efficiency: 66% reduction in LLM API costs vs naive approach
• Cache Hit Rate: 40%+ for similar conversation patterns

Resource Requirements

• CPU: 2+ cores recommended for production
• Memory: 4GB+ RAM for optimal performance
• Storage: 20GB+ for database and logs
• Network: Stable internet for LLM API calls

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. High LLM Costs: Enable unified evaluation and semantic caching
2. Slow Response Times: Reduce MCTS iterations or use beam search mode
3. Memory Issues: Lower branching factors and implement aggressive pruning
4. API Rate Limits: Implement request batching and exponential backoff

Debug Mode

LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG python -m app.main
