Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does the defense-in-depth approach improve RAG reliability?
The suite implements multiple verification layers including intent routing, HyDE expansion, BM25/dense hybrid retrieval, and deterministic citation matching – significantly reducing hallucination risks.
What makes the multi-agent architecture unique?
Applications like Interviewer use specialized agent chains (JD Parser → Resume Analyzer → Gap Analysis → etc.) with strict schemas rather than monolithic prompts, improving reliability.
How does the suite handle data privacy?
Furina ML embeds all preprocessing in scikit-learn Pipeline artifacts, while DivinityAI processes sensitive queries against static canonical corpora without external API calls.
What deployment options are available?
The suite supports web (React), desktop (Electron), embedded Rust (Axum), and service worker implementations, with unified API gateways.
