The challenge

The problem statement

01

Limited reasoning in traditional search

Conventional search systems retrieved isolated documents but failed to interpret query intent, synthesize insights, or group related findings.

02

Inconsistent metadata

Incomplete or missing tags for authors, publish dates, and research types made filtering and retrieval unreliable.

03

Inability to handle varied query types

From author-specific lookups to recency-sensitive insights, the system struggled to adapt responses to different research needs.

04

The approach

How Lyzr solved it

HFS partnered with Lyzr to design a multi-agent architecture that classified queries, routed them to the right knowledge base, and generated precise, cited responses.

Intent-based routing

Classified whether a query required a summary, deep dive, or author-specific lookup.

Specialized knowledge bases

Metadata & Summary KB: For quick filtering and contextual summaries Full Research KB: For deep semantic retrieval Author-Document Map KB: For accurate author-based lookups Offset KB: For organizational and support questions

Metadata Generator Agent

Parsed 4,000+ documents, auto-tagged 29 parameters, and fixed missing fields in a weekend.

Layered retrieval

Combined freshness scoring with semantic matching to balance recent and relevant results.

Results
