- Configuration: Environment-based config management
2.2 Workflow Management System
Core business logic engine for document processing and AI agent coordination:
- Document Processing: Multi-format document handling
- AI Agent Coordination: Orchestrates multiple AI agents
- State Management: Maintains workflow state and progress
- Method Integration: Connects to external services and tools
2.3 AI Integration Layer
Unified interface for multiple AI providers:
- OpenAI Integration: GPT models via API
- Anthropic Integration: Claude models via API
- Neutralization: Data anonymization and security
- Prompt Management: Centralized prompt templates
