-## 📞 Agent Communication & Storage
+## 🎯 What This Project Achieves
+
+**This is a sophisticated exploration of multi-agent AI systems** that demonstrates:
 
-## 👥 Agent Roles
+### 🏗️ **Advanced Architecture**
 
-Two core agents form the backbone of this system:
+- **Dual-Agent Coordination**: Brown (orchestrator) and Bayko (generator) with distinct roles
+- **LlamaIndex Workflows**: Custom event-driven workflows with `ComicGeneratedEvent`, `CritiqueStartEvent`, `WorkflowPauseEvent`
+- **ReAct Agent Pattern**: Visible Thought/Action/Observation cycles for transparent reasoning
+- **Async/Sync Integration**: Complex Modal function calls within async LlamaIndex workflows
 
-- 🤖 **Agent Brown** – The front-facing orchestrator. It receives the user’s prompt, tags the style, validates inputs, and packages the story plan for execution.
-- 🧠 **Agent Bayko** – The creative engine. It handles image, audio, and subtitle generation based on the structured story plan from Brown.
+### 🧠 **Technical Innovation**
 
-Each agent operates in isolation but contributes to the shared goal of generating cohesive, stylized comic outputs.
+- **Custom Event System**: Built sophisticated workflow control beyond basic LlamaIndex patterns
+- **Multi-Modal Processing**: GPT-4o for image analysis, SDXL for generation, Mistral for enhancement
+- **Memory Management**: Persistent conversation history across agent interactions
+- **Error Handling**: Robust fallback systems and rate limit management
 
-### Agent Brown
+### 🎨 **Creative AI Pipeline**
 
-- 🔹 Input validator, formatter, and storyboard author
-- ✨ Adds style tags ("Ghibli", "tragedy", etc.)
-- 📦 Writes JSON packages for Bayko
-- 🛡️ Includes moderation tools, profanity filter
+- **Prompt Enhancement**: Brown intelligently expands user prompts with narrative structure
+- **Style-Aware Generation**: Automatic tagging and style consistency across panels
+- **Quality Assessment**: Brown critiques Bayko's output with approval/refinement cycles
+- **Multi-Format Output**: Images, subtitles, and interactive code generation
 
-### Agent Bayko
+## 🚧 **Hackathon Reality Check**
 
-- 🧠 Reads storyboard.json and routes via MCP
-- 🛠️ Toolchain orchestration (SDXL, TTS, Subtitler)
-- 🎞️ Output assembly logic
-- 🔄 Writes final output + metadata
+**What Works:**
 
-Brown and Bayko operate in a feedback loop, refining outputs collaboratively across multiple turns, simulating human editorial workflows.
+- ✅ Complete agent architecture and workflow design
+- ✅ LlamaIndex integration with custom events and memory
+- ✅ Gradio interface with real-time progress updates
+- ✅ Modal function definitions for SDXL and code execution
+- ✅ Comprehensive error handling and fallback systems
 
-## 🔁 Agent Feedback Loop
+**Current Challenges:**
 
-This system features a multi-turn agent interaction flow, where Brown and Bayko collaborate via structured JSON messaging.
+- ⚠️ Modal deployment complexity in hackathon timeframe
+- ⚠️ OpenAI rate limiting (3 requests/minute) affecting workflow
+- ⚠️ LlamaIndex workflow async/sync integration edge cases
+- ⚠️ Infrastructure coordination between multiple cloud services
 
-### Step-by-Step Collaboration
+**The Achievement:** Building a working multi-agent system with this level of sophistication in a hackathon timeframe represents significant technical accomplishment, even with deployment challenges.
 
-1. **User submits prompt via WebUI**  
-   → Brown tags style, checks profanity, and prepares a `storyboard.json`.
+## 📸 Example Prompt
 
-2. **Brown sends JSON to Bayko via shared storage**  
-   → Includes panel count, style tags, narration request, and subtitles config.
+> “A moody K-pop idol finds a puppy. Studio Ghibli style. 4 panels.”
 
-3. **Bayko processes each panel sequentially**  
-   → For each, it generates:
+**What happens:**
 
-   - `panel_X.png` (image)
-   - `panel_X.mp3` (narration)
-   - `panel_X.vtt` (subtitles)
+1. Brown validates the prompt and tags it with style metadata.
+2. Brown uses LlamaIndex tools to call Bayko.
+3. Bayko generates 4 images + optional(future) TTS/subtitles.
+4. Brown reviews and decides to approve/refine.
+5. Output is saved in `storyboard/session_xxx/`.
 
-4. **Brown reviews Bayko’s output against the prompt**
+---
 
-   - If all panels match: compile final comic.
-   - If mismatch: returns annotated JSON with `refinement_request`.
+## 🧱 Agent Roles
 
-5. **UI reflects agent decisions**  
-   → Shows messages like “Waiting on Bayko…” or “Refining… hang tight!”
+### 🤖 Agent Brown
 
-This feedback loop allows for **multi-turn refinement**, **moderation hooks**, and extensibility (like emotion tagging or memory-based rejections).
+- Built with `LlamaIndex ReActAgent`
+- Calls tools like `validate_input`, `process_request`, `review_output`
+- Uses GPT-4 or GPT-4V for reasoning
+- Controls the flow: validation → generation → quality review
 
-### User Interaction
+### 🎨 Agent Bayko
 
-- When the user submits a prompt, the system enters a "processing" state.
-- If Brown flags an issue, the UI displays a message such as “Refining content… please wait.”
-- This feedback loop can be extended for multi-turn interactions, allowing further refinement for higher-quality outputs.
+- Deterministic generation engine
+- Uses Modal to run SDXL (via Hugging Face Diffusers)
+- Can generate: images, TTS audio, subtitles
+- Responds to structured messages only – no LLM inside
 
-This modular design not only demonstrates the agentic behavior of the system but also allows for future expansions such as incorporating memory and adaptive feedback over multiple turns.
+---
 
-## ⚙️ Example Prompt
+## 🧠 LlamaIndex Memory & Workflow Highlights
 
-```text
-Prompt: “A moody K-pop idol finds a puppy on the street. It changes everything.”
-Style: 4-panel, Studio Ghibli, whisper-soft lighting
-Language: Korean with English subtitles
-Extras: Narration + backing music
-```
+This project integrates **LlamaIndex** to power both agent memory and the ReAct workflow. Brown and Bayko share a persistent memory buffer so decisions can be reviewed across multiple iterations. LlamaIndex also provides the FunctionTool and workflow abstractions that make the agent interactions transparent and replayable. The [`memory_handling.md`](./memory_handling.md) document covers the integration in detail and shows how messages are stored and evaluated.
 
-For detailed multi-turn logic and JSON schemas, see [Feedback Loop Implementation](./tech_specs.md#-multi-turn-agent-communication).
+Additional highlights:
+
+- **Multi-modal GPT-4o** is used by Brown for image analysis and tool calling.
+- **ReActAgent** drives Bayko's creative process with visible Thought/Action/Observation steps.
+- **Modal** functions run heavy generation jobs (SDXL image creation, Codestral code execution) on serverless GPUs.
+- A **unified memory** service combines in-memory chat logs with SQLite persistence for easy debugging and replay.
+- Comprehensive tests under `tests/` demonstrate LLM integration, session management and end-to-end generation.
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Use Cases
+
+The system is designed for quick story prototyping and creative experiments.
+Typical scenarios include:
+
+- Generating short comics from a single prompt with automatic style tagging.
+- Running demo stories such as _"K-pop Idol & Puppy"_ via `run_pipeline.py`.
+- Creating custom panels with narration and subtitles for accessibility.
+- Experimenting with the `tools/fries.py` script for fun ASCII art or code generation using Mistral Codestral.

+
+### Integration with Existing Agents
+
+**Update Brown's memory (api/agents/brown.py):**
+
+```python
+# Replace the LlamaIndexMemoryStub with real memory

+### Integration with Brown
+
+```python
+# Update Brown's review_output method
+from services.simple_evaluator import SimpleEvaluator
+
+class AgentBrown:
+    def __init__(self, max_iterations: int = 3):
+        # ... existing code
+        self.evaluator = SimpleEvaluator()
+
+    def review_output(self, bayko_response: Dict[str, Any], original_request: StoryboardRequest):

+
+        print(f"🤖 Brown reviewing Bayko's output...")
+
+        # Use simple evaluator
+        evaluation = self.evaluator.evaluate(
+            bayko_response,
+            original_request.prompt
+        )
+
+        # Log to memory
+        self.memory.add_message(

+            print(f"✅ Brown approved: {evaluation['reason']}")
+            return self._create_approval_message(bayko_response, evaluation)
+

+
+## 🚀 Implementation Steps
+
+### Day 1: Memory Integration
+
+1. **Install LlamaIndex**: `pip install llama-index`
+2. **Create `services/agent_memory.py`** with the Memory wrapper above
+3. **Update Brown and Bayko** to use real memory instead of stubs
+4. **Test**: Verify agents can store and retrieve conversation history
+
+### Day 2: Evaluation Logic
+
+1. **Create `services/simple_evaluator.py`** with the evaluation class above
+2. **Update Brown's `review_output` method** to use SimpleEvaluator
+3. **Test**: Verify 3-attempt limit and rejection rules work
+4. **Optional**: Add memory sync to SQLite for persistence
+
+### Day 3: Testing & Polish
+
+1. **End-to-end testing** with various prompts
+2. **Console logging** to show evaluation decisions
+3. **Bug fixes** and edge case handling
+4. **Demo preparation**
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] **Memory Works**: Agents store multi-turn conversations using LlamaIndex
+- [ ] **Evaluation Works**: Brown makes approve/reject/refine decisions
+- [ ] **3-Attempt Limit**: System stops after original + 2 revisions
+- [ ] **Auto-Rejection**: Dialogue-in-images and incoherent stories are rejected
+- [ ] **End-to-End**: Complete user prompt → comic generation → evaluation cycle
+
