# 🤖 **GAIA Lite**

## 🌟 **Introduction**

**GAIA Lite** is a small tool-calling agent for learning LangGraph and for the GAIA / Hugging Face Agents Course homework. It keeps a short tool list, a bounded think–act loop, regex answer extraction, and a cached evaluation runner.

## 🚀 **Key Features**

- **🔍 Multi-Modal Search**: Web search, Wikipedia, and arXiv paper search
- **💻 Code Execution**: Support for Python, Bash, SQL, C, and Java
- **🖼️ Image Processing**: Analysis, transformation, OCR, and generation
- **📄 Document Processing**: PDF, CSV, Excel, and text file analysis
- **📁 File Upload Support**: Handle multiple file types with drag-and-drop
- **🧮 Mathematical Operations**: Complete set of mathematical tools
- **💬 Conversational Interface**: Natural chat-based interaction
- **📊 Evaluation System**: Automated benchmark testing and submission

## 🛠️ **Tools (kept small on purpose)**

The agent binds six tools. Extra math/image-generation helpers were removed from the loop so the model spends less time picking the wrong tool.

- `web_search` — Tavily, up to 3 hits
- `wiki_search` — Wikipedia, up to 2 pages
- `execute_python` — calculation, pandas, dates, CSV/Excel via code
- `download_file_from_url` — save a remote file locally
- `read_file` — preview text, CSV, Excel, PDF
- `extract_text_from_image` — Tesseract OCR

Vector-store retrieval is **off by default**. Pass `build_graph(use_retriever=True)` only if you explicitly want similar-question context.

## 🎯 **How to Use**

### **Q&A Chatbot Interface (app.py)**

1. **Start the Chatbot:**
   ```bash
   python app.py
   ```

2. **Access the Interface:**
   - Open `http://localhost:7860` in your browser
   - Upload files (images, documents, CSV, etc.) if needed
   - Ask questions in natural language
   - Get comprehensive answers with tool usage

3. **Supported Interactions:**
   - **Text Questions**: "What is the capital of France?"
   - **Math Problems**: "Calculate the square root of 144"
   - **Code Requests**: "Write a Python function to sort a list"
   - **Image Analysis**: Upload an image and ask "What do you see?"
   - **Data Analysis**: Upload a CSV and ask "What are the trends?"
   - **Web Search**: "What are the latest AI developments?"

### **Evaluation Runner (evaluation_app.py)**

1. **Run the Evaluation:**
   ```bash
   python evaluation_app.py
   ```

2. **Benchmark Testing:**
   - Log in with your Hugging Face account
   - Click "Run Evaluation & Submit All Answers"
   - Monitor progress as the agent processes GAIA benchmark questions
   - View results and scores automatically

## 🔧 **Technical Architecture**

### **LangGraph State Machine**
```
START → maybe_example → assistant ⇄ tools
                          ↑           ↓
                          └───────────┘
```

1. **maybe_example**: no-op unless `use_retriever=True`
2. **assistant**: Groq Qwen with tools; after 8 tool rounds or a repeated identical call, it is forced to emit `FINAL ANSWER`
3. **tools**: `ToolNode` runs the selected Python functions
4. **extract_final_answer**: regex parse + light normalization before scoring submit

Evaluation writes `answers_cache.json`, skips successful tasks on rerun, and submits from cache in a separate button. Attachments use `GET /files/{task_id}`, with an optional Hugging Face GAIA dataset fallback.

### **Vector Database Integration**
- **Supabase Vector Store**: Stores GAIA benchmark Q&A pairs
- **Semantic Search**: Finds similar questions for context
- **HuggingFace Embeddings**: sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2

### **Multi-Modal File Support**
- **Images**: JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP
- **Documents**: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, MD
- **Data**: CSV, Excel, JSON
- **Code**: Python, Bash, SQL, C, Java

## ⚙️ **Installation & Setup**

### Hugging Face Space secrets (most common crash)

If logs say `GROQ_API_KEY` is missing, open the Space → **Settings → Variables and secrets** and add at least:

- `GROQ_API_KEY` — from https://console.groq.com/keys
- `TAVILY_API_KEY` — for web search

Then **Restart** the Space. Do not put keys in public git.

### Local setup

```bash
git clone https://github.com/fisherman611/gaia-agent.git gaia-lite
cd gaia-lite
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Create a `.env` file with your API keys:
```env
SUPABASE_URL=your_supabase_url
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=your_supabase_key
GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key
TAVILY_API_KEY=your_tavily_api_key
HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN=your_hf_token
LANGSMITH_API_KEY=your_langsmith_key

LANGSMITH_TRACING=true
LANGSMITH_PROJECT=gaia-lite
LANGSMITH_ENDPOINT=https://api.smith.langchain.com
```

### **4. Database Setup (Supabase)**
Execute this SQL in your Supabase database:
```sql
-- Enable pgvector extension
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;

-- Create match function for documents2 table
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.match_documents_2(
  query_embedding vector(768)
)
RETURNS TABLE(
  id         bigint,
  content    text,
  metadata   jsonb,
  embedding  vector(768),
  similarity double precision
)
LANGUAGE sql STABLE
AS $$
  SELECT
    id,
    content,
    metadata,
    embedding,
    1 - (embedding <=> query_embedding) AS similarity
  FROM public.documents2
  ORDER BY embedding <=> query_embedding
  LIMIT 10;
$$;

-- Grant permissions
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION public.match_documents_2(vector) TO anon, authenticated;
```
