Orchestrating Critical Mineral Supply Chain Resilience
As global trade accounts for over 60% of critical mineral demand, supply chain managers face unprecedented volatility from regulatory shifts like Chile's Codelco-SQM deal and the US NEPA overhaul. This challenge requires building an autonomous multi-agent system designed to monitor, analyze, and mitigate supply chain risks. You will leverage the Grok-2 model for reasoning and the CrewAI framework to orchestrate specialized agents focusing on geopolitical risk, regulatory compliance, and market logistics. Participants will implement a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture using Pinecone to store and query real-time commodity data and policy updates. The system must process disparate data sources—ranging from mining project capital intensity reports to environmental impact legislative changes—to produce actionable risk mitigation strategies. The final output will be a resilient supply chain dashboard that predicts potential bottlenecks in battery metal procurement.

What you should walk away with
Master agentic workflows by defining specific roles, goals, and backstories for CrewAI agents tailored to mining logistics.
Implement a Pinecone vector database index to manage high-dimensional embeddings of mineral trade reports and NEPA legal documents.
Design a recursive task hierarchy where a 'Geopolitical Analyst' agent feeds findings into a 'Logistics Optimizer' agent.
Build a custom toolset in Python that allows agents to query external commodity APIs (e.g., LME, Quandl) for real-time battery metal pricing.
