Multi-Agent Policy Impact Analysis

Develop an advanced multi-agent system using AutoGen, powered by GPT-5, to monitor and analyze public policy changes (e.g., government announcements, regulatory updates) and assess their potential impact on specific stakeholders (e.g., journalists, businesses, citizens). This system should identify subtle shifts, interpret complex legal or political language, and generate detailed impact reports or proactive alerts. The challenge requires implementing a hierarchical agent structure with specialized agents for policy monitoring, legal interpretation, stakeholder impact assessment, and report generation. Crucially, the agents must communicate securely using an A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol and integrate external tools via an MCP (Multi-Agent Coordination Protocol) for accessing official government databases, news feeds, and social media. Adaptive reasoning budgets should be employed by GPT-5 to allocate more processing power for ambiguous or high-stakes policy changes.
