# Welcome to Brainstormer

> Build, deploy, and manage AI-powered agents grounded in your own knowledge.

## What is Brainstormer?

Brainstormer is an AI agent platform that lets you create intelligent conversational agents backed by your own content. Whether you are a creator sharing expertise, a business automating support, or a team building internal tools, Brainstormer gives you everything you need to go from idea to deployed agent in minutes.

Your agents can draw on knowledge bases you build from documents, websites, social media, and more — so every response is grounded in real information, not generic AI output.

## Platform Architecture at a Glance

Brainstormer runs as a set of microservices working together:

| Component             | What It Does                                                           |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Web App**           | The frontend you interact with — built with Next.js                    |
| **API Gateway**       | Routes all requests, handles rate limiting and CORS                    |
| **Auth Service**      | User accounts, JWT authentication, organization management             |
| **Agent Service**     | Agent CRUD, AI chat via LangChain and OpenRouter, prompt configuration |
| **Knowledge Service** | Document processing, vector embeddings, RAG search, knowledge graphs   |

All services communicate through the API Gateway, so your data flows securely between components.
