- Agent workflows: build backstage pipelines connecting intent understanding, retrieval, provider comparison, and recommendation decisions, with explanations a user can check
- Multi-source data and knowledge integration: entity matching across business information, reviews, credentials, and service coverage
- Evaluation and delivery: build evaluation datasets, analyze failure cases and user feedback, improve quality, reliability, and latency, ship and iterate
