Chapter 1

Signal Ingestion Mesh

Streams telemetry from resumes, job boards, HRIS, and user interactions through an event backbone with schema evolution and PII classifiers.

Kafka + Redpanda backbone
Edge sanitization
Latency budget < 80ms

Chapter 2

Reasoning Fabric

Orchestrates Gemini, GPT-4.1, and in-house models through a policy-aware router that selects optimal context, temperature, and cost envelope per task.

Declarative prompt registry
Safety rails + audit log
Memory graph sync every 5 min

Chapter 3

Action Layer

Automates follow-ups, learning plan updates, and executive dashboards with approval checkpoints and human-in-the-loop overrides.

Service mesh w/ retries
Fine-grained RBAC
Composable playbooks

Chapter 4

Continuous Intelligence Loop

Feedback signals retrain ranking models nightly while anomaly detectors surface drift and bias directly into observability boards.

Realtime feature store
Model drift monitors
Explainability snapshots

Operating loop

Sense → Think → Act flow

Every surface follows the same arc: capture signal, reason over it, then act with guardrails and learn from the result.

API + webhook ingestion
Streaming ETL + enrichment
Edge privacy screening
Think
Model router + context store
Toolformer-style planning
Evaluator ensemble
Act

Data & API architecture

The persistence and interface contracts: a Prisma relational schema, MongoDB analytics collections, and both REST and GraphQL surfaces.

Prisma schema design

schema.prismaprisma
// User Management
model User {
  id            String   @id @default(cuid())
  email         String   @unique
  passwordHash  String
  profile       Profile?
  subscriptions Subscription[]
  sessions      Session[]
  createdAt     DateTime @default(now())
  updatedAt     DateTime @updatedAt
}

// Learning System

  title       String
  description String
  modules     Module[]
  difficulty  Difficulty
  estimatedHours Int
  tags        Tag[]
  createdAt   DateTime @default(now())
}

MongoDB collections

User Analytics Collection

{
  "_id": ObjectId(),
  "userId": "cuid_user_id",
  "events": [{
    "type": "tool_usage",
    "toolId": "interview_coach",

Latency strategy

Blueprint · vision

Multi-layer caching strategy

Three cooperating cache tiers — browser, CDN edge, and Redis — keep responses fast and the origin cool.

L1 — Browser Cache

Service Worker caching

LocalStorage for user preferences

IndexedDB for offline data

HTTP cache headers (1-24h TTL)

L2 — CDN Cache

CloudFlare edge caching

Static asset optimization

Image transformations

Geographic distribution

L3 — Redis Cache

Session management

API response caching

User-specific data

Real-time analytics
