🏗️ Patent Architect AI v2 - True Agentic Workflow

An AI-powered system that uses a team of collaborating agents to transform a raw idea into a strategized patent draft.

This application demonstrates a true multi-agent system where different AI agents, each with a specific role, negotiate and collaborate to produce a comprehensive patent application. It includes live prior art searches and multiple forms of AI-generated visual aids.

🎯 Key Features

🤖 True Agentic Collaboration

A team of specialized AI agents work together, with the output of one agent influencing the actions of the next.

Prior Art Detective: Performs live web searches on Google Patents and Wikipedia to find relevant prior art.
Chief Strategist: Analyzes the prior art and formulates a defensible patenting strategy.
Technical Writer, Claims Drafter, Figure Drafter: Generate the core sections of the patent, all adhering to the Chief Strategist's mandate.
Conceptual Artist: Generates a high-quality conceptual image of the invention using the Segmind Ideogram API.

🎨 Dual Visual Outputs

The system generates two distinct, real images to aid understanding:

Conceptual Image: A photorealistic image from the Segmind API that helps visualize the invention's marketing potential.
Technical Figure: A patent-style drawing rendered from real LaTeX/TikZ code, which is essential for the patent document itself.

💡 From First Principles

This application is built with a focus on robust, elegant design. It handles errors gracefully and makes agent interactions transparent, demonstrating a resilient and well-architected system.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Install Dependencies

Ensure you have Python 3.8+ installed, then run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set Up API Keys (Crucial Step)

This application requires API keys to function. Your keys are not stored or shared.

For Local Development:

Create a .env file in the main project directory.
Copy the text below into your .env file.

Add your secret keys in place of the placeholder text.

# .env file for Patent Architect AI v2

# Required for the core language model agents (Strategist, Writer, etc.)
# Get a key from Google AI Studio: https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey
GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY_HERE"

# Required for the PriorArtDetective agent to perform live web searches.
# Get a free key from SerpApi: https://serpapi.com/
SERPAPI_API_KEY="YOUR_SERPAPI_API_KEY_HERE"

# Required for the ConceptualArtist agent to generate high-quality images.
# Get a free key from Segmind: https://segmind.com/
SEGMIND_API_KEY="YOUR_SEGMIND_API_KEY_HERE"

For Hugging Face Spaces Deployment:

Do not upload your .env file.
In your Space settings, go to the "Secrets" section.
Add each of the three keys (GEMINI_API_KEY, SERPAPI_API_KEY, SEGMIND_API_KEY) as a separate secret.

3. Run the Application

Once your API keys are configured, run the app: ```
