ARCHITECTURE

A high-level overview of how the AKIOS control plane orchestrates agents, tools, and guardrails to ensure deterministic behavior.

SYSTEM_OVERVIEW#

AKIOS sits between your application and the LLM providers. It acts as a Governance Layer that intercepts every prompt and completion to ensure safety, auditability, and correctness.

REQUEST_LIFECYCLE#

01_AUTH_AND_RATE_LIMITING

The request hits the API. We validate the API key and check rate limits associated with the tenant.

02_ORCHESTRATION

The Orchestrator determines which Agent or Tool needs to be invoked based on the user's intent.

03_EXECUTION

The selected Agent executes its loop: Observation, Reasoning, Action. Tools are called as needed.

DEPLOYMENT_AND_SCALABILITY#

AKIOS is designed to be stateless at the compute layer. All state is offloaded to external stores (Redis/Postgres), making it easy to scale horizontally.

COMPUTE_(NODE/EDGE)

Run the agent loop. Can be deployed on Vercel, AWS Lambda, or Docker. No sticky sessions required.

STATE_STORE_(REDIS)

Stores conversation history and tool outputs. Critical for "Human-in-the-loop" pauses where an agent might sleep for days.
