MARVE Project - Advanced Conversational AI Assistant

Welcome to the MARVE (Mixture of Agents Reasoning and Voice Engine) project - a sophisticated AI assistant system with advanced personality evolution, memory management, and multimodal capabilities.

🗂️ Project Structure Overview

This repository is organized into four main directories for clear separation of concerns:

🚀 Development Directory (development/)

Current Status: Phase 2 Complete - Master Orchestrator Operational 🚀

The main working codebase implementing the conversational AI engine with intelligent action execution.

Structure:

• src/ - Core application code
  • conversational_engine/ - Enhanced AI engine with orchestration integration
  • master_orchestrator/ - Multi-agent coordination system
  • main.py - FastAPI conversational engine (port 8001)
  • orchestrator_main.py - Master orchestrator service (port 8002)
• tests/ - Testing suite, demo scripts, and orchestration tests
• config/ - Configuration templates and examples
• docs/ - Development-specific documentation
• requirements.txt - Python dependencies

Key Features:

✅ Advanced Personality System - Dynamic 4-trait evolution
✅ RAG Memory System - Intelligent context management
✅ Dual-Model Architecture - Llama 3 70B/8B integration
✅ Vector Database - Qdrant with BGE-M3 embeddings
✅ FastAPI Interface - Production-ready REST API
✅ Master Orchestrator - Intent classification & multi-agent coordination
✅ WebSocket Integration - Real-time bidirectional communication
✅ Specialist Agent Framework - Registered agent management system
✅ Security Framework - Authentication hooks & audit logging

Quick Start:

cd development/
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Start conversational engine
python src/main.py
# In another terminal, start master orchestrator  
python src/orchestrator_main.py
