Bot Orchestration
Workflow Integration
Bots work together in automated workflows:
- Document Upload → PDF Analysis Bot
- If Relevant → Indexing Bot → Entity Extraction Bot
- If Not Relevant → Moved to trash
- After Indexing → Cross-Reference Bot + Timeline Bot
- On Request → Search Bot, Summarization Bot, Fact-Checking Bot
Configuration
See config/orchestration.yml for workflow configuration.
