  • Real-time streaming responses via Server-Sent Events
  • Conversation history and organization
  • Model switching mid-conversation

🏗️ Assistant Architect

  • No-code custom AI assistant builder
  • Visual prompt chain designer
  • Knowledge repository integration
  • Scheduled execution support

📚 Knowledge Repositories

  • Document upload and semantic search
  • PDF, DOCX, TXT support with OCR
  • Vector embeddings via pgvector
  • Chunk-based relevance ranking

📊 Model Compare

  • Side-by-side AI model evaluation
  • Token usage and cost analysis
  • Performance metrics

🏗️ Infrastructure

  • AWS ECS Fargate with Application Load Balancer (HTTP/2 streaming)
  • Aurora Serverless v2 PostgreSQL with auto-pause (dev) and pgvector
  • Multi-AZ VPC with 14+ VPC endpoints for cost optimization
  • AWS CDK Infrastructure as Code with reusable constructs
  • Cognito + NextAuth v5 authentication with Google SSO

  • AI Studio: $7,800/year with GPT-5
  • With mixed models: ~$2,400/year (Gemini + GPT-4 mini)

Additional infrastructure optimizations:

  • Lambda PowerTuning: 66% memory reduction
  • Aurora auto-pause in dev: ~$44/month savings
  • Fargate Spot: 70% savings on non-critical workloads

🔒 Security & Compliance

  • All data processed within district infrastructure (no third-party SaaS)
  • FERPA and COPPA compliance ready
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) with tool-level permissions
  • Tag-based IAM preventing cross-environment access
  • Parameterized SQL queries preventing injection
  • Secrets Manager integration
