Agentic Shopping
Inspired by recent buzz in agentic shopping initiatives, this challenge involves building a sophisticated multi-agent system using CrewAI. You will orchestrate specialized agents powered by Claude Opus 4.1 to perform product research, comparison, and simulated purchase decisions. A core component will be the integration of external APIs (e.g., product databases, simulated payment gateways like PayPal) using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to ensure secure, context-aware tool access and data exchange. The agents will leverage adaptive thinking budgets to dynamically adjust their reasoning depth based on task complexity and resource constraints.

What you should walk away with
Master CrewAI for defining complex, collaborative agent workflows with distinct roles and tasks.
Implement Model Context Protocol (MCP) for secure, context-aware integration with simulated external APIs (e.g., product search, payment processing).
Design and build A2A protocol communication channels between agents for seamless information exchange and consensus building.
Develop specialized agents (e.g., 'Product Researcher', 'Price Negotiator', 'Review Summarizer') leveraging Claude Opus 4.1's reasoning capabilities.
Integrate RAG techniques to provide agents with up-to-date product information and market data.
Apply adaptive thinking budgets to optimize LLM calls, ensuring deeper reasoning for critical decisions and faster responses for routine queries.
Deploy and test the agent system locally, simulating a user's shopping journey from query to checkout.
How this agent runs
The evaluation will assess the system's ability to accurately research products, make reasonable purchasing decisions, and demonstrate robust tool integration and agent collaboration. Key metrics will include factual...

- Ensure the comparison table is well-formed and contains required fields.
- Verify that the simulated payment gateway (via MCP) was invoked successfully.
- Confirm that the agent's reasoning depth adapted based on complexity or budget (log analysis required).
- Factual Accuracy target: 0.9
