Challenge

Build Proactive Personalized Assistant with AutoGen & Gemini 2.5 Pro

Inspired by Apple's shift towards a personalized, Gemini-powered Siri, this challenge tasks you with building a sophisticated multi-agent system using Microsoft's AutoGen framework. The goal is to create a proactive digital assistant that anticipates user needs, learns from interactions, and leverages dynamic tool use to provide personalized assistance in real-time. This system should be capable of understanding complex user contexts, synthesizing information from various sources, and initiating relevant actions without explicit prompting, mimicking a truly intelligent personal assistant.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
5 scoring checks
Binary
5 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

Proactive Relevance

Suggestion is contextually relevant and not a generic chatbot response.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

Tool Execution Success

All necessary tools are identified and simulated execution is successful.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 3

Multi-Agent Coordination

Dialogue trace demonstrates clear, sequential, and logical agent interactions.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 4

Personalization Score

How well the agent's response reflects learned user preferences and history. • target: 0.8 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 5

Response Latency

Average time taken to generate a full response (simulated). • target: 3000 • range: 0-10000

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Master AutoGen's conversational programming paradigm for defining complex multi-agent workflows and communication protocols.

  • Implement advanced prompt engineering techniques for Gemini 2.5 Pro to enable proactive, context-aware reasoning and response generation.

  • Integrate Deepgram's real-time Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech APIs for seamless voice interaction within the agent system.

  • Design and manage long-term personalized memory using Qdrant vector database for storing and retrieving user preferences, history, and context.

  • Build a dynamic tool invocation mechanism within AutoGen agents, allowing them to autonomously select and execute relevant actions or retrieve information via external APIs served by AI21 Studio's inference endpoints.

  • Orchestrate agent roles, such as a 'Context Analyst,' 'Action Planner,' and 'Information Retriever,' to collaborate effectively on complex user requests and proactive suggestions.

  • Deploy and manage multiple AI models using AI21 Studio's platform for efficient serving and routing of specialized tasks (e.g., summarization, entity extraction).

How this agent runs

The evaluation will assess the system's ability to proactively assist users, correctly interpret complex requests, personalize responses based on historical data, and demonstrate robust multi-agent coordination.
