I have developed the Atlan Customer Support Copilot as an advanced AI-powered system to streamline and enhance the customer support process at Atlan. Throughout this project, I leveraged state-of-the-art language models and implemented a comprehensive Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline. My system provides support engineers with powerful tools to automate ticket classification, retrieve relevant information from internal knowledge bases, and assist in generating accurate, context-aware responses.

I built the copilot around seven main functional pillars that I carefully designed and implemented, all now fully operational:
When I implemented the ticket classification system, I ensured that upon receiving any new support ticket (whether from a user query in the chat interface or from a database), my system automatically classifies it based on three key criteria that I identified as most important:
- Topic: I designed this to identify the primary subject of the ticket (e.g.,
Connector,Lineage,API/SDK). - Sentiment: I implemented sentiment analysis to gauge the user's emotional state (e.g.,
Frustrated,Curious). - Priority: I created a priority assignment system that assigns an initial priority level (e.g.,
P0 (High),P1 (Medium)) based on the urgency and potential impact described in the ticket.
Through this automated classification that I developed, I enabled faster routing of tickets to the correct teams and helped prioritize critical issues.
For queries that require factual information, I implemented a powerful RAG pipeline that I'm particularly proud of. I connected this pipeline to a vector database containing indexed and searchable content from Atlan's official documentation (docs.atlan.com) and developer portal (developer.atlan.com).
When a user asks a question, my RAG agent follows this process that I designed:
- I generate an embedding of the user's query using Google's Gemini embedding models.
- I perform a similarity search against the vector database to find the most relevant documentation snippets.
- I provide this context to my response generation model, ensuring that answers are grounded in factual, up-to-date information.
The final component I implemented is a response generation agent that synthesizes the information retrieved by my RAG pipeline into a coherent, human-readable answer. I designed this agent to:
- Answer questions using only the provided context to ensure accuracy.
- Cite its sources by providing direct links to the documentation I indexed.
- Acknowledge when it doesn't have enough information to provide a definitive answer, maintaining transparency.
I implemented a comprehensive unified data persistence layer that stores all ticket data in a single MongoDB collection with rich metadata and advanced analytical capabilities:
- Unified Ticket Schema: All tickets are stored in a single
ticketscollection with aprocessedboolean field. Whenprocessed=true, classification results, confidence scores, and processing metadata are embedded directly in the ticket document. - Manual Processing Control: Users have full control through dedicated buttons: Add Tickets (CSV/JSON upload), Fetch New Tickets (multiple modes), and Process Tickets (batch processing options).
- Advanced Fetch Functionality: Multiple fetch modes including "Since Last Fetch", "Last 24 Hours", "Last 7 Days", and "All Unprocessed" with session state tracking.
- Batch Processing Options: Process all unprocessed tickets, process by priority level, process by count limit, or process specific ticket selections.
- Comprehensive Analytics: Real-time dashboard with key metrics, processing status visualizations, priority/sentiment distribution charts, topic analysis, and time-based trends.
- Advanced Filtering: Multi-select filters for priority and sentiment, date range filtering, and text search with database-level queries.
- Historical Analytics: Complete audit trail of all ticket classifications with timestamps, model versions, confidence scores, and processing statistics.
I implemented a comprehensive ticket management system with advanced features:
- Clickable Tickets: Each ticket card is clickable and opens a detailed view
- Multipage Navigation: Seamless navigation between tickets view and detailed ticket pages
- AI-Powered Resolution: Automated ticket resolution using RAG for eligible topics
- Team Routing: Intelligent routing to appropriate teams for non-RAG topics
- Detailed Analysis Display: Complete AI analysis with confidence scores and metadata

- Dashboard: Analytics and batch processing capabilities
- Tickets View: Card-based layout with advanced filtering
- Ticket Detail View: 4-tab comprehensive ticket analysis
- Chat Interface: Real-time AI conversations with citations
- Responsive Design: Works seamlessly across devices
I integrated multiple knowledge sources for comprehensive coverage:

The following technologies were used to build the application, as specified in the initial project brief:
- Backend Language: Python 3.11+
- AI Orchestration: LangGraph
- Large Language Models (LLM): Google Gemini Family
gemini-2.5-flash: Used for fast and efficient tasks like ticket classification.models/text-embedding-004: Used for generating text embeddings.
- Frontend Framework: Streamlit
- Vector Database: Qdrant
- Primary Database: MongoDB Atlas
- Web Scraping:

motor
Decision: The core logic was structured as a multi-agent system orchestrated by LangGraph, rather than a monolithic chain.
Rationale:
- Specialization: This allows for creating specialized agents (
ClassificationAgent,RAGAgent,ResponseAgent) that are experts at a single task. This improves accuracy and makes the system easier to debug and maintain. - Modularity: Each agent can be developed, tested, and improved independently. For example, the RAG agent's search logic can be enhanced without affecting the classification agent.
- Explicit State Management: LangGraph's
StateGraphprovides a clear, typedCopilotStatedictionary that tracks the progress of a query through the system. This makes the data flow transparent and predictable.
Trade-off: This approach introduces slightly more complexity upfront compared to a simple LLM chain, as it requires defining the graph structure, nodes, and edges. However, this pays off in scalability and maintainability.
Decision: The application implements explicit delays (asyncio.sleep) to handle API rate limits, particularly in the UI dashboard and the agent orchestrator.
Rationale:
- During testing, concurrent API calls to the Gemini free tier resulted in
429rate limit errors. - The most robust solution in the given environment was to process API-dependent tasks sequentially with a delay, ensuring that the application remains within the free tier's requests-per-minute quota.
- A centralized delay node was added to the LangGraph orchestrator to manage the timing between calls to different models (
flashvs.pro), which may have separate rate limit pools.
Trade-off: This significantly increases the processing time for batch operations (like classifying all tickets in the dashboard) and the response time for the chat interface. A production system with a paid API plan could use more sophisticated, concurrent processing with a proper rate-limiting library.
Decision: The data ingestion pipeline (scraping, processing, embedding) is implemented as a separate, runnable script (scripts/scrape_and_embed.py).
Rationale:
- Populating the vector database is a heavy, one-time or periodic task. Decoupling it from the main application runtime prevents it from blocking the UI or API.
- It allows for the ingestion pipeline to be run on a schedule (e.g., a nightly cron job) to keep the knowledge base up-to-date without redeploying the main application.
Trade-off: This means the knowledge base is not updated in real-time. There will be a delay between when documentation is published and when it becomes available to the RAG agent.
Decision: Implemented a comprehensive single-collection MongoDB architecture with embedded processing data, advanced analytics, and enterprise-grade features.
Rationale:
- Unified Schema: Single collection eliminates complexity and data synchronization issues, providing a clean, maintainable architecture.
- Manual Processing Control: Users have complete control over ticket processing through an intuitive button-based interface, preventing unwanted automatic processing.
- Embedded Classification Data: Classification results embedded directly in ticket documents maintain data locality and enable complex queries.
- Advanced Fetch Functionality: Multiple fetch modes with session state tracking enable efficient ticket discovery and management.
- Batch Processing Options: Flexible processing modes (all, by priority, by count limit) improve workflow efficiency for different use cases.
- Comprehensive Analytics: Real-time statistics, interactive charts, and advanced filtering provide deep insights into ticket processing patterns.
- File Upload System: Robust CSV/JSON import with validation and preview ensures data quality and user experience.
- Proper Tag Definitions: AI classification now uses structured tag definitions for accurate, meaningful categorization.
- Audit Trail: Complete processing history with timestamps, confidence scores, and metadata enables compliance and debugging.
Implementation Details:
- Schema Structure:
processedboolean field with embedded classification, confidence scores, and processing metadata. - Query Optimization: Efficient MongoDB queries for filtering, searching, and analytics.
- Session Management: Streamlit session state for tracking user interactions and fetch history.
- Caching Strategy: Smart caching with TTL for analytics and manual refresh capabilities.
- Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling with user-friendly feedback and graceful degradation.
Trade-off: Slightly larger document sizes for processed tickets, but provides superior data consistency, query performance, and user experience. The unified approach significantly simplifies the codebase while delivering enterprise-grade functionality.
Decision: Implemented a multipage Streamlit application with specialized views for different user workflows.
Rationale:
- User Experience: Separate pages for dashboard analytics, ticket browsing, and detailed views provide better organization and performance

- Session State: Proper state management for ticket selection and navigation
Trade-off: Increased complexity in state management, but provides superior user experience and maintainability.
Decision: Designed a responsive card-based layout for ticket display with visual status indicators and pill-style tags.
Rationale:
- Visual Hierarchy: Cards provide clear visual separation and organized information display
- Status Indicators: Color-coded priority badges and status pills enable quick assessment
- Responsive Design: Grid layout that adapts to different screen sizes
- Interactive Elements: Clickable cards with hover effects and clear call-to-actions
