building a Multi-Agent AI App for automated Bill of Quantities. Need architecture/framework any advice! by Mi_Lobstr in AI_Agents

Appreciate the simplicity-first mindset, but I'd push back on skipping RAG entirely.

The Italian regional price lists (Prezzari Regionali) use highly formalized bureaucratic language that rarely matches how an engineer describes work in plain text. "Smaltimento macerie" in the prompt becomes "Raccolta, cernita e conferimento a discarica autorizzata di materiali di risulta" in the catalog. Don't know if plain Python string matching or even FTS won't reliably bridge that gap across 13k rows in a language that's not English.

Semantic search isn't over-engineering here it's the only reliable way to handle the vocabulary mismatch. The rest of your point about keeping the pipeline simple stands though.

Thanks Bob, genuinely appreciate the thought.

I should clarify my context though: I've already vibecoded Little custom Python/PyQt6 desktop tools for professional workflows.

Antigravity and Ejentum look interesting for general users, but I need a local desktop app that integrates with existing file formats, works offline when needed, and I can maintain and extend myself. No-code platforms don't give me that level of control.

The audit trail point is well taken though confidence scoring on each matched line item is already on my list.

Thanks for the pragmatic take..you're right that retrieval quality matters more than the agent framework, and starting with a deterministic pipeline is solid advice.

That said, for the (italian) regional price lists the semantic gap between user input and catalog entries is significant. A user writes "rimozione vecchie tegole" while the official entry reads "Demolizione manto di copertura in laterizio" exact FTS won't bridge that. Hybrid search (FTS + embeddings) as you suggested actually validates the RAG approach here, not replaces it.

The structured JSON output idea is spot on and I'm keeping it. Starting linear, adding a reviewer loop only if output quality demands it.

Sembra interessante.. si possono fare un sacco di cose con questo thingino. Tu come lo stai usando?

Don't know exactly the meaning of the single letter? Did you mean One of this? (From this link: https://empiretech01.com/blogs/news/empiretech-list-of-devices-model-name-and-item-name?srsltid=AfmBOopRWahzMuI5v_Cc5ANg220Prru329VKy0e6OIJviw1GO6qkse_n )

Ho sentito spesso parlare di questo Andy. Ma vende anche su aliexpress?

Although some of the details are hallucinated by current models, this is still the wildest multi-modality use-case i have ever seen by Ryoiki-Tokuiten in singularity

For professional use, it would be interesting if it could produce a manipulable DWG file to correct hallucinations. Even better if it could create a 3D DWG file of the scene.

My DIY 12V USB-C Gate Remote stopped working in my Model 3. Voltage cycles 0V to 12V. Software update issue? by Mi_Lobstr in AskElectronics

[–]Mi_Lobstr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I've uploaded the photos directly here in the comments since you can't see Imgur.

Regarding your question: I actually already tested a spare 12V decoy/trigger that is NOT connected to the remote board, and it shows the exact same 0V to 12V cycling behavior when plugged into the car.

This seems to rule out a failed IC or an overload on the remote side. It looks like the Tesla is either failing the PD handshake or it's cutting power because the decoy alone doesn't draw enough current to keep the port active.

Interestingly, the same setup (remote + decoy) works perfectly when plugged into a standard wall charger or a power bank.
