Phase 2.5: Main Pipeline Integration (Week 2.5)

2.5.1 Integrate Agentic RAG into Main Document Processing Pipeline

• Integrate agentic RAG into documentProcessingService to allow selection and execution of the agentic RAG strategy.
• Refactor unifiedDocumentProcessor to support multiple processing strategies, including agentic RAG, chunking, and classic RAG.
• Ensure seamless handoff between document upload, processing, and agentic RAG execution.

2.5.2 Strategy Selection Logic

• Implement strategy selection logic based on environment variables, feature flags, user roles, or document characteristics.

2.7.2 API Documentation and Error Handling

• Update OpenAPI/Swagger documentation to include new endpoints and parameters.
• Ensure robust error handling and clear error messages for all agentic RAG API operations.
• Add tests for all new and updated endpoints.

---

Phase 2.8: Frontend Integration (Week 2.5)

2.8.1 UI Enhancements for Agentic RAG

• Add agentic RAG processing options to the document upload and processing UI.

    // Disable agentic RAG
    process.env.AGENTIC_RAG_ENABLED = 'false';
    
    // Switch to chunking strategy
    process.env.PROCESSING_STRATEGY = 'chunking';
    
    // Send alert

Risk Mitigation

Technical Risks

1. LLM API failures: Implement circuit breakers and fallback strategies
2. Performance degradation: Monitor and auto-rollback
3. Data consistency issues: Implement validation and retry logic
4. Cost overruns: Set strict limits and monitoring

Operational Risks

1. Deployment issues: Use canary deployment and feature flags
2. Monitoring gaps: Comprehensive logging and alerting
3. User adoption: Gradual rollout with feedback collection
4. Support burden: Extensive documentation and training
