This was built inside ilegra’s innovation team. We built several internal systems for the company with that same team, and this assistant was one of them. Company knowledge was scattered across docs and old channels, and the idea here was to let people ask for it in a chat instead of digging. The team was small and the work was exploratory.
Where it started
The idea came out of my own weekend experiment with LlamaIndex. After that the stack settled fast: FastAPI on the backend, React on the front.
What I did on it
I was the project manager and the engineering manager on that team, and at some stages I was also the architect. On this project I barely wrote any code. Most of my work was describing what needed to exist and then reviewing what came back. That was new to me at the time. It is close to how I work with AI agents today.
Talking to the stakeholders
I also handled the stakeholder side at ilegra. I kept the work aligned with what the company expected, passed information back and forth, and presented the projects.
