Core Components

🎯 Main Agent & Orchestration

  • Supervisor Agent: Central orchestrator that receives user queries and routes them to appropriate specialized agents
  • BrightAgent API: Primary interface for user interactions and system communication
  • Query Processing: Natural language understanding and intent classification

🤖 Specialized Agent Ecosystem

Data Processing Agents

  • Retrieval Agent: Implements RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) for intelligent data fetching
  • Engineering Agent: Handles data transformation, dbt code generation, and data pipeline management
  • Analytics Agent: Performs statistical analysis and generates Jupyter notebooks with insights
  • Visualization Agent: Creates interactive charts, dashboards, and visual representations

Intelligence & Governance

  • Governance Agent: Ensures data quality, compliance, and security across all operations
  • TEI Agent: Text Embedding Interface for semantic understanding and vector operations
  • Context Management: Maintains session state and cross-agent communication

🗄️ Data Infrastructure

Knowledge Systems

  • Knowledge Graph: Structured representation of relationships and metadata
  • Data Catalog: Comprehensive inventory of available data assets and their properties
  • Vector Store: Semantic search and embedding storage for intelligent retrieval

External Integrations

  • Data Sources: Databases, APIs, file systems, and streaming platforms
  • Warehouse Integration: Connection to modern data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, etc.)
  • Third-party Tools: Integration with existing data stack components

Data Flow Architecture

1. Query Initiation

2. Agent Coordination

  • Parallel Processing: Multiple agents can work simultaneously on different aspects
  • Context Sharing: Agents share relevant context and intermediate results
  • Quality Assurance: Built-in validation and review processes

3. Response Generation

  • Multimodal Output: Jupyter notebooks, visualizations, code, and text responses
  • Interactive Elements: Dashboards with real-time data connections
  • Actionable Insights: Recommendations and next steps for users

Key Architectural Principles

🔄 Event-Driven Design

  • Asynchronous agent communication
  • Real-time data processing capabilities
  • Scalable message handling

🛡️ Security & Governance

  • Role-based access control across all agents
  • Data lineage tracking throughout the pipeline
  • Automated compliance monitoring

⚡ Performance Optimization

  • Intelligent caching strategies
  • Resource pooling and load balancing
  • Optimized query execution paths

🔌 Extensibility

  • Plugin architecture for custom agents
  • API-first design for external integrations
  • Configurable workflows and business rules

Agent Interaction Patterns

Sequential Processing

Some workflows require step-by-step execution: e.g. RetrievalEngineeringAnalyticsVisualization

Parallel Processing

Other tasks can be handled simultaneously: e.g. Data Quality Checks (Governance) + Data Retrieval + Visualization Prep

Feedback Loops

Continuous improvement through:
  • Quality feedback from Governance Agent to other agents
  • Performance metrics influencing future query routing
  • User feedback refining agent responses

Deployment Architecture

Cloud-Native Design

  • Containerized agent deployment
  • Auto-scaling based on workload
  • Multi-zone availability

Edge Computing

  • Local processing for sensitive data
  • Reduced latency for real-time analytics
  • Hybrid cloud-edge orchestration
This architecture enables BrightAgent to function as a comprehensive “data team in a box,” providing expert-level capabilities across the entire data lifecycle while maintaining security, performance, and ease of use.
