Forum Intelligence: Project Brief & Initial Rollout 1. Executive Summary & Objective Forum Intelligence is a beginning as a localized data retrieval, processing, and archiving system designed to scrape public municipal records and state legislative data for public oversight. The immediate objective is to build a functional, highly resilient prototype focused on the Tri-Cities region (Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena, California). The system will autonomously ingest messy, unstructured municipal data (City Council meeting minutes, agendas, public notices, and legislative PDF text, recorded mp4), clean it, and make it fully searchable and queryable via a localized AI agentic framework. 2. Phase 1 Scope: The Tri-Cities Rollout Th engineer will be responsible for building two primary pillars: A. Resilient Scraper Bots • Target Ingestion: Monitor and pull data from Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena municipal portals and California legislative feeds. • Data Types: Brittle HTML sites, heavily nested tables, public notices, legislative drafts, and massive unstructured PDF archives. • Requirements: The scraping architecture must be exceptionally robust, utilizing intelligent error handling, retry semantics, and pagination tracking to handle frequent municipal website layout changes without breaking the pipeline. B. Ingestion & Vector Pipeline • Parsing: Extracting clean text from poorly formatted documents and scanned PDFs. • Local RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation): Chunking and embedding the data locally into a vector database (e.g., pgvector, Chroma, or Milvus) to enable semantically accurate entity linking and contextual search. 3. Targeted Hardware Stack To ensure maximum data security, strict public oversight integrity, and predictable operational costs, Forum Intelligence is skipping commercial cloud APIs in favor of an on-premise, localized NVIDIA enterprise deployment. The production roadmap aligns precisely with the new computing patterns detailed in NVIDIA’s latest hardware roadmap: • Inference & Token Generation: Running local open-weight frontier models (e.g., Neotron 3 Ultra or Claude/Llama equivalents) optimized for reasoning and long-context tool use. • Compute & Orchestration: The backend infrastructure is architected around NVIDIA’s dedicated agentic architecture, utilizing high-instructions-per-clock (IPC) Vera CPUs paired with Vera Rubin GPUs. • Memory & Storage Processing: Utilizing NVIDIA’s unified memory fabric and data processing units (DPUs) for ultra-low latency context management, KV caching, and fast vector database retrieval. 4. Immediate Milestones for the Engineer 1. Architecture Design: Map out the database schema and local inference ingestion loop. 2. Tri-Cities Scraper Deployment: Write and deploy the initial automated bots for Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena. 3. Local MVP Pipeline: Demonstrate a local RAG pipeline where a user can query the Tri-Cities scraped records and receive grounded answers with exact source attributions. The above was AI generated from months long conversations with Gemini. The goal is to prove the concept then roll out to LA County, state of CA, and then the country.

Summary We're an early-stage AI startup building Hirey — an agent-to-agent marketplace that runs inside various AI tools via a plugin. Think "Upwork for AI agents": your agent finds, vets, and books the right human or agent on your behalf. We're looking for 5 AI agent enthusiasts to install our plugin (OpenClaw, Codex, Opus, Gemini), try it out, and sit for a short 10-15 minute video interview about your experience. The interview will be posted on our hirey.ai site. About 45 minutes of your time total. What you'll do Install the Hirey plugin in Codex. It connects your agent to Hirey's remote MCP server, so there's no local server, Node setup, Claude Desktop, or JSON config edit required. Setup is usually: enable the plugin, restart the AI agent you installed on. Connect to Hirey, run a sample workflow, and check out the hirey.ai page. A 10-15 minute video interview with the founding team. We'll ask about your experience with Hirey and your broader take on the AI agent/MCP ecosystem. Camera on, recorded, and published on hirey.ai — by taking part you're agreeing to be filmed and featured on our site. This project also includes creating a profile on our platform, filling it out completely, and connecting with me within the network. Who we're looking for Someone who has used AI tools in the past, especially for coding or technical tasks. You use Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, or similar AI dev tools regularly. Bonus: you've built or contributed to anything in the AI agent / MCP / LangChain / Claude Code ecosystem. What you get $20 flat, released via Upwork on interview completion. A feature on hirey.ai as an early voice in the AI agent space. Early access to the Hirey AI agent network if you want to keep using it. A direct line to the founding team. Links to include in your profile - Link 2 projects in your profile. - Link your Upwork page. - Link your LinkedIn. To apply, answer these in your proposal Have you used an AI coding tool before? Which one(s)? One sentence on a recent AI/agent project you've worked on or played with. Your timezone and earliest availability this week. Confirm you're comfortable being filmed and featured on hirey.ai. We'll respond within 24 hours and schedule interviews within 2 business days. No long applications, no portfolio review. Optimizing for speed.

I am working on a system using AI to review and respond on Google Drive (Shared Drive) folders of PDF's. Using Gemini as a POC I get responses that sometimes reach outside of my specified folders of content, but sometimes, some PDF files are ignored too. Also, when the response to a prompt come back, the sources are linked. However, the links only bring up the first page of the PDF file wherein the linked source material is, AND NOT THE pdf PAGE of the specific info. I need to have the AI (Gemini, Grok, etc.,) be used to query just.... but all, of the PDF files, within a set of folders in Google Drive (Shared Drive), and to respond with linked content. Said links must open to the PDF PAGE, not just the PDF which houses the specific info. In short, I think I need a viewer, but someone who has experience working with AI and PDF's will likely know the issue I am running into. In the end my system will have a UI attached, so there is a lot of possible side work on this project. First I need to build a better POC. For instance, if I open ONE of the PDF files in Google Drive, I can prompt on that file, and the correct PDF page does come up in the viewer, (While no other files are considered for the queried content.) But when I give Gemini many source PDF's or a folder of PDF's, the links only go to the first page pf the PDF with the information used as the sourcwe.
