• Handling of simple and complex requests through natural conversation

Architecture and Technologies

ArchiBot uses a multi-agent architecture: multiple artificial intelligence models collaborate to interpret the question, consult the knowledge base, and compose the response. The system includes:

• Document ingestion and automatic organization into a structured knowledge base
• Orchestration software that assigns tasks to the different AI agents
• Research agents that retrieve information from the archive
• Composition agents that combine data and sources into a coherent response

The interface combines chat and document consultation, facilitating the verification of information.

Advantages

• Answers based on verified sources, without invented content (no AI hallucination state)
• Ability to quickly analyze complex archives with thousands of documents
• Greater accuracy compared to general-purpose chatbots
• Flexibility and adaptability to different archival structures
• Faster and more reliable consultation thanks to integrated document navigation

Use Cases

• Free search within the archive
• Comparison between documents or between authors, works, and periods
• Verification and control of metadata
• Production of thematic texts based on archive documents
• Support for researchers, archivists, and scholars in daily consultation
