🤖 Building a Smart Job Search Assistant: A Journey into Multi-Agent AI Systems

Hey there! 👋 Welcome to the behind-the-scenes look at our Job Search Assistant. Whether you're a developer, AI enthusiast, or just curious about how AI can help with job hunting, this guide will walk you through our system in a friendly, easy-to-understand way.

🎯 What We're Building

Imagine having a team of AI assistants working 24/7 to help you find your dream job:

  • One assistant constantly scanning job boards for perfect matches
  • Another analyzing job descriptions and extracting key information
  • A third handling all your email communications
  • And a fourth managing your interview schedule

That's exactly what we've built! Let's dive into how it all works.

🧠 The Brain of the System: Multi-Agent Architecture

What's a Multi-Agent System?

Think of it like a team of specialists working together. Just like you might have different doctors in a hospital (each with their specialty), we have different AI agents, each expert in their specific task.

Here's our dream team:

1. 🕵️‍♂️ Job Scout (Data Collection Agent)

  • Mission: Find the perfect job matches
  • Tools:
  • Special Power: Can search multiple job boards simultaneously

2. 🔍 Data Detective (Information Extraction Agent)

  • Mission: Extract and organize job information
  • Tools:
    • OpenAI's GPT-4 for understanding job descriptions
    • Custom pattern matching for key information
  • Special Power: Understands complex job requirements and company culture hints

3. 📧 Email Expert (Communication Agent)

  • Mission: Handle all email communications
  • Tools:
    • Gmail API for email management
    • GPT-4 for email composition
  • Special Power: Writes personalized, professional emails

4. 📅 Schedule Master (Scheduler Agent)

  • Mission: Manage interview scheduling
  • Tools:
  • Special Power: Finds perfect interview slots that work for everyone

🛠️ The Tech Stack We're Using

  1. Core Framework: Phidata

    • Why? It's perfect for building AI agents and makes them work together smoothly
    • Handles the complex stuff so we can focus on making our agents smarter

  2. Brain Power: OpenAI's GPT-4

    • Powers our agents' understanding and decision-making
    • Helps write natural-sounding emails and analyze job descriptions

  3. Data Storage: PostgreSQL

    • Keeps track of all jobs, applications, and communications
    • Think of it as our system's memory

  4. Job Search Tools:

🎨 Design Decisions: Why We Built It This Way

1. Why Multiple Agents Instead of One Big AI?

  • Specialization: Each agent can be really good at its specific task
  • Scalability: We can improve each agent independently
  • Reliability: If one agent has issues, others keep working

2. Why Phidata?

  • Built specifically for AI agent orchestration
  • Great documentation and active community
  • Easy to extend and customize

3. Web Service Architecture
