Intelligent query classification routes simple queries directly to LLM:
- Greetings ("hi", "hello") → Direct response (~50 tokens)
- Identity questions ("who are you?") → Cached response
- Complex queries → Full RAG pipeline (~1,450 tokens)
Dynamic document fetching based on query complexity:
Query: "hi" → k=0 (no retrieval)
Query: "what dataset?" → k=3 (simple query)
Query: "explain X in Y" → k=7 (complex query)Multi-layer validation system:
- Confidence Scoring: LLM rates its own certainty (0.0-1.0)
- Quote Verification: Ensures sources exist in context
- Gap Detection: Flags unanswerable queries
- Audit Logging: Tracks all low-confidence responses
AI-powered insight generation:
- Clusters failed queries into topics
- Suggests specific documents to upload
- Prioritizes by frequency and impact
- Filters out spam/irrelevant queries
Example Insight:
{
"topic": "Pricing Information",
"count": 12,
"advice": "Add a document explaining pricing tiers and payment options",
"priority": "high"

[Zero-Token Detection] → Bengali identified via regex
↓
[Translate to English] → "What is the dataset?"
↓
[RAG Search] → Searches English knowledge base
↓
[Translate Back] → "ABIDE I dataset ta use kora hoyeche."
