R&D Team for Specialized AI Model Definition

Orchestrate a multi-agent team using CrewAI to simulate an R&D department tasked with defining the requirements and preliminary architecture for a highly specialized AI model, such as one for automating heavy construction equipment. This challenge requires defining distinct roles (e.g., AI Researcher, Robotics Engineer, Project Manager), assigning specific goals, and enabling collaborative problem-solving. Agents must leverage external tools for information gathering and document generation, ultimately producing a comprehensive R&D report detailing the model's purpose, key features, data needs, and architectural considerations. The focus is on complex task decomposition and inter-agent communication facilitated by a shared memory and structured output.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

The evaluation will assess the CrewAI team's ability to collaboratively generate a comprehensive R&D report for a specialized AI model, checking for completeness, coherence, factual accuracy, and architectural soundness. Inter-agent communication efficiency will also be considered.

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

Report Completeness

Checks if all required sections of the R&D report are present and non-empty.

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

Coherence and Readability

Verifies that the report is well-structured and easy to understand.

Binary check

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

Dimension 3

Tool Utilization Trace

Confirms that agents demonstrably used external tools (e.g., web search, Milvus) during their process via LangSmith traces.

Binary check

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

Dimension 4

Factual Accuracy Score

Measures the correctness of technical details and factual statements within the report (0-1). • target: 0.9 • range: 0.7-1

Binary check

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

Dimension 5

Architectural Soundness

Evaluates the feasibility and robustness of the proposed architectural overview (0-1). • target: 0.85 • range: 0.6-1

Binary check

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

Dimension 6

Inter-Agent Communication Effectiveness

Assesses the quality and relevance of messages exchanged between agents (0-1), derived from LangSmith traces. • target: 0.9 • range: 0.7-1

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 the CrewAI framework for defining agents with specific roles, backstories, goals, and associated tools.

  • Implement advanced task decomposition and delegation strategies within a CrewAI workflow, ensuring agents collaborate effectively.

  • Integrate a vector database like Milvus to serve as a shared knowledge repository for agents, allowing them to store and retrieve research findings.

  • Develop custom tools for agents, such as a web search tool (e.g., using Serper API) for external information gathering and a document generation tool.

  • Leverage the Gemini 2.5 Pro model for individual agent intelligence, focusing on its advanced reasoning and problem-solving capabilities.

  • Utilize LangSmith for comprehensive tracing, debugging, and evaluation of multi-agent interactions, identifying bottlenecks and improving collaboration patterns.

  • Design a robust output mechanism for the CrewAI team to synthesize their findings into a structured R&D report, potentially using Pydantic for schema validation.
