About the developer
Chanda Charan Reddy
AI & Automation Engineer · Bangalore, India
I’m an AI engineer who ships production LLM systems — from a Springer-published model that reads chest X-rays well enough for a radiologist to take seriously, to document pipelines that quietly run themselves. Before any of that, I wrote real-time control code for jet engines at DRDO, where a millisecond of lag isn’t a bug — it’s a flameout.
Synthesis is what happens when you point that instinct — don’t trust output you can’t trace — at language models. Most agent demos look like magic in a notebook and fall apart the moment a claim needs a source. This one shows its work: you watch it plan, search, cross-check, and verify every line before it commits.
This is one project. There are 18 more (and a few jet engines) over at charanreddy.dev. Go pull a few threads.
What I learned building this
- 01
Concurrency was the real product.
A planner fanning out to parallel researchers, each streaming onto its own lane, all draining through one event bus — getting that ordering right over SSE was harder than any single agent prompt. The visualization only feels alive because the plumbing underneath is honest about what's happening when.
- 02
“Cited” means nothing without verification.
It's trivial to make a model append [3] to a sentence. It's the critic loop — re-reading each claim against the passages it cites and labelling the confidence — that turns citations from decoration into evidence.
- 03
Offline-first kept me honest.
Every external dependency has a fallback: mock LLM, fixture search, in-memory vectors. The whole multi-agent pipeline runs with no keys and no containers. That constraint forced clean seams between the agents and the infrastructure.
- 04
Streaming is a design problem, not a transport one.
Tokens arriving in real time is the easy part. Deciding what a person should watch while five agents work in parallel — that's where most of the UI thinking went.
- 05
The boring states are the ones that sell it.
Empty, loading, error, reduced-motion. Nobody screenshots them, but they're the difference between a demo and something that feels built to last.
