- Async/await pattern throughout
- Comprehensive error handling and logging
Test Results:
python test_vision_ocr.py
# All tests passed! β
# Agent availability - PASSED
# VisionOCRAgent initialized successfully
3. Workflow Integration
Modified Files:
A. DocumentAnalysisAgent (/home/mhamdan/SPARKNET/src/agents/scenario1/document_analysis_agent.py)
Changes:
- Added
vision_ocr_agentparameter to__init__() - Created
_extract_with_ocr()method (foundation for future PDFβimageβOCR pipeline) - Added TODO comments for full OCR pipeline implementation
- Graceful fallback if OCR agent not available
Integration Points:
def __init__(self, llm_client, memory_agent=None, vision_ocr_agent=None):
self.vision_ocr_agent = vision_ocr_agent
# VisionOCRAgent ready for enhanced text extraction
B. SparknetWorkflow (/home/mhamdan/SPARKNET/src/workflow/langgraph_workflow.py)
Changes:
- Added
vision_ocr_agentparameter to__init__() - Updated
create_workflow()factory function - Passes VisionOCRAgent to DocumentAnalysisAgent during execution
Enhanced Logging:
if vision_ocr_agent:
logger.info("Initialized SparknetWorkflow with VisionOCR support")
C. Backend API (/home/mhamdan/SPARKNET/api/main.py)
Changes:
- Import VisionOCRAgent
- Initialize on startup with availability checking
- Pass to workflow creation
- Graceful degradation if model unavailable
Startup Sequence:
# 1. Initialize VisionOCR agent
vision_ocr = VisionOCRAgent(model_name="llava:7b")
# 2. Check availability
if vision_ocr.is_available():
app_state["vision_ocr"] = vision_ocr
logger.success("β
VisionOCR agent initialized with llava:7b")
# 3. Pass to workflow
app_state["workflow"] = create_workflow(
llm_client=llm_client,
vision_ocr_agent=app_state.get("vision_ocr"),
...
)

9. Troubleshooting
If OCR not working:
Check Ollama running on GPU1:
ps aux | grep ollama # Should show CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1Verify llava model:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 ollama list | grep llava # Should show llava:7bTest VisionOCRAgent:
source sparknet/bin/activate && python test_vision_ocr.pyCheck backend logs:
- Look for: "β VisionOCR agent initialized with llava:7b"
- Warning if model unavailable: "β οΈ llava:7b model not available"

- Model not found: Run
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 ollama pull llava:7b - Import error: Ensure virtual environment activated
