Design Document: BharatSeva AI

1. System Overview

BharatSeva AI is a multi-agent orchestration system built on AWS using Amazon Bedrock Agents with Claude 3.5 Sonnet as the foundation model. The system deploys 10 AI agents (1 Master Orchestrator + 9 Specialist Agents) to assist India's informal sector workers in navigating government schemes across three domains: PM Vishwakarma (artisan credit), PMFBY (crop insurance), and BOCW (construction worker welfare).

1.1 Design Principles

  • Voice-First: Prioritize voice interaction over text for accessibility
  • Proactive Intelligence: Monitor external data sources and trigger alerts automatically
  • Alternative Verification: Use digital footprints (UPI transactions, GPS, photos) instead of traditional documentation
  • Anti-Corruption: Educate users that services are free and collect evidence of bribery
  • Audit-Proof: Maintain immutable 7-year audit trails for regulatory compliance
  • Offline Resilience: Provide SMS fallback when internet is unavailable

1.2 Architecture Style

  • Event-Driven: AWS EventBridge for scheduled polling and event triggers
  • Serverless: AWS Lambda for all compute, no EC2 instances
  • Multi-Agent: Amazon Bedrock Agents for domain-specific intelligence
  • Microservices: Each agent has dedicated action groups (Lambda functions)
