🏥 NITDAA: Mobile-First AI Document Analysis Engine
Enterprise-Grade RAG System on a Smartphone Budget
🚀 Live Demo • 📚 Architecture • 🎓 User Guide • 🤝 Contributing
🌟 What is NITDAA?
NITDAA is a cutting-edge, mobile-first AI document analysis platform that brings enterprise-grade capabilities to resource-constrained environments. Originally designed for health insurance policy analysis (NITDAA Base Program), NITDAA now serves as a universal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) engine that can be deployed anywhere—from HuggingFace Spaces to edge devices.
Unlike traditional RAG systems that require expensive GPUs and cloud infrastructure, NITDAA is architected for the HuggingFace Spaces free tier while maintaining:
- ✨ Multi-agent AI reasoning (CrewAI)
- 🔍 Tri-modal hybrid retrieval (Vector + Sparse + Graph)
- 📱 Mobile-first responsive UI
- ⚡ Real-time SSE streaming responses
- 🔐 Enterprise-grade security & guardrails
- 🧠 Zero hallucinations via strict RAG grounding
Now live on HuggingFace! → 🔗 sam-max1-nitdaa.hf.space
🎯 Live Demo & Interactive Features

📊 Comprehensive Feature Breakdown
1. Multi-Agent Intelligence
NITDAA uses CrewAI to orchestrate specialized agents:
- Ingestor Agent - Document loading, format detection, chunking
- Comprehensive Reader - Full-document semantic analysis with KV-cache optimization
- Gatekeeper Agent - Content verification, safety checks, context validation
- Analyst Agent - Answer synthesis, citation generation
2. Hybrid Retrieval Engine
Three search modes working in concert:
- Dense Vector Search - Semantic similarity via embeddings
- Sparse Keyword Search - Exact term matching via BM25
- Graph Traversal - Entity relationship queries via Kuzu
Results are merged, deduplicated, and re-ranked by a Cross-Encoder for maximum precision.
3. Document Format Support
| Format | Extraction Method | Max File Size |
|---|---|---|
| PyMuPDF + OCR fallback | 50MB | |
| DOCX | python-docx | 20MB |
| XLSX | openpyxl | 20MB |
| CSV | pandas | 50MB |
| TXT | Direct read | 50MB |
| Images (PNG, JPG) | pytesseract OCR | 10MB |
4. Concurrent Processing with Safety
- ✅ I/O Concurrency - Thread pool for database queries, network I/O
- ✅ Memory Safety - PyTorch operations serialized via locks (prevents OOM)
- ✅ Resource Limits - Hard cap on vector store (10K chunks), session quotas (5 uploads/session)
- ✅ CPU Throttling - Thread limits to prevent CPU thrashing on HF Spaces
5. Security & Safety
- 🔒 Math CAPTCHA - Blocks automated bot traffic
- 🔒 Rate Limiting - Configurable per-IP request limits
- 🔒 Session Isolation - Cryptographic session tokens
- 🔒 HTTP CSP Headers - XSS & injection attack mitigation
- 🔒 Prompt Injection Guardrails - CrewAI system prompts neutralize jailbreak attempts
- 🔒 Gatekeeper Filtering - Malicious queries rejected before generation
- 🔒 Strict RAG Grounding - Responses generated only from retrieved context
- 🔒 Fallback Protocol - "Context not available" for unsupported questions
6. Mobile-First UI/UX
- 📱 Single-pane vertical layout (no desktop 3-pane complexity)
- 📱 Dynamic inline feedback panel (appears after response generation)
- 📱 Floating action buttons for copy & actions
- 📱 Responsive typography and spacing
- 📱 Touch-friendly buttons and inputs
- 📱 Startup splash screen with NITDAA Base Program overview
7. Dual LLM Routing
Users control the speed vs. reasoning tradeoff via an in-app slider:
- Expert Mode -
google/diffusiongemma-26b-a4b-it(deeper reasoning) - Assistant Mode -
minimaxai/minimax-m3(faster generation)
8. Real-Time Streaming with Resilience
- 🌊 Server-Sent Events (SSE) for unidirectional streaming
- 🌊 Offset recovery for mobile background disconnections
- 🌊 Job ID system allows client to resume interrupted streams
- 🌊 Automatic retry on network failures
9. User Feedback & Telemetry
Users rate responses immediately after generation:
- ⭐ 1-5 star rating
- 👍 Thumbs up/down
- 💬 Optional text feedback
All feedback is logged to nitdaa_summary.json for analysis.
10. Autonomous Dataset Sync
Background thread continuously monitors Sam-max1/he-data:
- 🔄 Detects dataset changes
- 🔄 Auto-purges outdated indices
- 🔄 Rebuilds vector/graph stores
- 🔄 Syncs session logs with remote repository
