Challenge

Recommender Multi-Agent for Complex Suggestions

This challenge tasks you with building a cutting-edge multi-agent recommendation system using CrewAI. Your system will leverage GPT-5 for highly creative and nuanced recommendation generation, supported by Claude Sonnet 4 for robust information retrieval and synthesis. Agents will collaborate to understand complex user intent, retrieve obscure related data via RAG, and generate highly personalized, multi-faceted recommendations for music or other domains. A critical component is the integration of MCP-enabled tools to access external data sources (e.g., music catalogs, user preference databases, external reviews) to enrich the recommendation process and provide context beyond the LLM's initial training data. The system must demonstrate advanced extended thinking capabilities, adapting its reasoning budget based on recommendation complexity.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

The evaluation will assess the recommendation system's ability to handle complex queries, retrieve obscure information, generate creative and relevant recommendations, and demonstrate effective agent collaboration and tool usage. Focus on relevance, creativity, factual accuracy, and the depth of reasoning.

Workflow tasks

  1. Task 1

    Input: { "user_profile": { "age": 30, "mood": "reflective", "fav_genres": ["indie folk", "ambient electronic"], "recent_activities": ["reading philosophy", "stargazing"] }, "query": "I'm looking for a new album that combines introspective lyrics with atmospheric soundscapes, something that pairs well with late-night contemplation and has a subtle nod to early 2000s indie electronica, perhaps from an artist not widely known." }

    Output: { "recommendation_title": "string", "artist": "string", "genre_tags": ["string"], "reasoning": "string (detailed explanation of why this recommendation fits the query, referencing obscure elements and user profile)", "external_sources_used": [{"tool_name": "string", "data_retrieved": "string"}] }
