Hello Dev Family! 👋
This is ❤️🔥 Hemant Katta ⚔️
Today, we’re diving deep 🧠 into the an architectural case study on building a scalable AI workspace with streaming LLMs, project isolation, and document intelligence.
Executive Summary
KimiAI-Pro is a multi-project AI workspace engineered to address structural limitations in conventional chatbot systems.
Core Problems in Typical Chatbot Implementations
- Stateless conversational drift
- Lack of project-level isolation
- No structured document intelligence
- Tight coupling between UI and model calls
Architectural Advancements Introduced :
- Project-scoped memory architecture
- Real-time token streaming
- File-aware contextual prompting
- Modular model abstraction
- Clean separation of orchestration layers
This document presents:
- Current repository architecture
- Production-grade design rationale
- Senior-level upgrade pathways
System Architecture (High-Level)
Architectural Style
Hybrid approach :
- Layered Architecture
- Clean Architecture (boundary separation)
- Stateless Core + Stateful Session Orchestrator
- Streaming-first UI rendering

Project-Scoped Memory Architecture
Problem
Most chatbots operate with a single global message pattern:
messages = []
Consequences:
- Context contamination
- Cross-topic hallucination
- Token explosion
- Loss of isolation
Repository Implementation Pattern
Each project logically maintains:
class ProjectSession:
def __init__(self, name: str, system_prompt: str):
self.name = name
self.system_prompt = system_prompt
self.messages = []
self.uploaded_context = ""
Registry-style mapping::
project_registry = {
"Project-A": ProjectSession("Project-A", system_prompt="You are a Python expert."),
"Project-B": ProjectSession("Project-B", system_prompt="You are a DevOps architect.")
}
Architectural Interpretation
This enforces:
- Context Boundary Enforcement
- Scoped Memory Domains
- Logical isolation between AI workflows
Equivalent to multi-tenant memory domains inside a single runtime.
Prompt Orchestration Engine
LLMs are stateless.
The orchestration layer reconstructs state deterministically per request.
Prompt Assembly Pipeline
User Input
↓
Resolve Active Project
↓
Inject System Prompt
↓
Inject File Context (if present)
↓
Append Historical Messages
↓
Append Current User Input
↓
Dispatch to Streaming Model API
Production-Grade Prompt Builder
def build_prompt(project: ProjectSession, user_input: str):
messages = []
# System prompt
messages.append({
"role": "system",
"content": project.system_prompt
})
# Inject file context if available
if project.uploaded_context:
messages.append({
"role": "system",
"content": f"Project Document Context:\n{project.uploaded_context}"
})
# Conversation history
messages.extend(project.messages)
# New user message
messages.append({
"role": "user",
"content": user_input
})
return messages
This ensures deterministic prompt construction.
Real-Time Streaming Architecture (Token-Level)
Design Motivation
Streaming improves:
- Perceived latency
- Interaction realism
- UX responsiveness
- Cognitive engagement
Streaming Flow
┌───────────────┐
│ User Prompt │
└───────┬───────┘
↓
┌───────────────┐
│ Model API │
│ (stream=True) │
└───────┬───────┘
↓
┌────────────────────────┐
│ Token Generator Yield │
└───────────┬────────────┘
↓
┌────────────────────────┐
│ Incremental UI Render │
└───────────┬────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────┐
│ Final Response Persistence │
└─────────────────────────────┘
Streaming Implementation
def stream_response(model_client, messages):
full_response = ""
for chunk in model_client.chat.completions.create(
messages=messages,
stream=True
):
token = chunk.choices[0].delta.content or ""
full_response += token
yield token
return full_response
UI layer:
response_container = st.empty()
accumulated_text = ""
for token in stream_response(client, prompt):
accumulated_text += token
response_container.markdown(accumulated_text)
This ensures:
- No UI freezing
- Progressive rendering
- Clean final storage
This also prevents blocking UI execution and maintains progressive rendering.
Document Intelligence Layer
Repository File Processing Pipeline
Upload → Parse → Extract → Normalize → Inject → Query
Example implementation:
import PyPDF2
def extract_pdf_text(file):
reader = PyPDF2.PdfReader(file)
text = ""
for page in reader.pages:
text += page.extract_text()
return text
Extracted content is injected into system-level context before model invocation.
Advanced Scalability Pattern (Beyond Current Repo)
This section defines architectural upgrade pathways.
Token Growth Strategy
Problem:
- Linear token accumulation
- Increased latency
- Rising API cost
Upgrade Option A: Sliding Window
def truncate_history(messages, max_messages=10):
if len(messages) > max_messages:
return messages[-max_messages:]
return messages
Upgrade Option B: Semantic Compression
Summarize old conversation
Replace historical messages with summary block
Continue normal accumulation
RAG Upgrade Path
Instead of full injection:
- Chunk document (e.g., 1,000 tokens)
- Generate embeddings
- Store in vector database
- Retrieve relevant chunks per query
Chunk Document
↓
Generate Embeddings
↓
Store in Vector DB
↓
Retrieve Top-K Relevant Chunks
↓
Inject into Prompt
This would convert the architecture into:
Retrieval-Augmented Generation ( RAG ) System
Model Abstraction Boundary
To avoid vendor lock-in:
class BaseModelAdapter:
def generate(self, messages):
raise NotImplementedError
Concrete implementation:
class GroqAdapter(BaseModelAdapter):
def __init__(self, client):
self.client = client
def generate(self, messages):
return self.client.chat.completions.create(
model="llama3-8b",
messages=messages
)
This pattern ensures:
- Vendor portability
- Mock testing
- Swap-in OpenAI/Anthropic integration
- Clean dependency boundaries
Token Growth & Memory Compression Strategy
As conversations scale:
- Token count grows linearly
- API cost increases
- Latency rises
Senior-Level Mitigation Strategy
- Hard truncation (last N messages)
- Semantic summarization
- Sliding context window
- Automatic conversation compression
Example compression pattern:
def truncate_history(messages, max_messages=10):
if len(messages) > max_messages:
return messages[-max_messages:]
return messages
Production-ready systems must anticipate token explosion early.
Clean Architecture Mapping
| Layer | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| UI Layer | Rendering & Interaction |
| Application Layer | Orchestration |
| Domain Layer | Project Session Model |
| Infrastructure Layer | Model APIs & File Parsing |
This separation improves:
- Testability
- Maintainability
- Refactor safety
- Clear responsibility boundaries
- Future horizontal scaling
Production Hardening Roadmap
To elevate to SaaS-grade:
- JWT-based authentication layer
- PostgreSQL-backed project persistence
- Redis session cache
- Background workers (Celery/RQ)
- Structured logging
- Observability metrics (logging, tracing)
- Docker containerization
- CI/CD automation
Performance Analysis
Latency drivers:
- Model compute time
- Token length
- Network RTT
- File injection size
Streaming reduces perceived delay by up to ~40–60% in user experience responsiveness.
What Makes This Senior-Level Architecture?
This system demonstrates:
- Stateful UX over stateless APIs
- Deterministic prompt orchestration
- Domain-isolated memory containers
- Streaming-first architecture
- Model abstraction boundary
- Upgrade path to RAG
- Boundary-driven system design
It’s no longer a chatbot.
It transitions from:
“Chatbot wrapper”
To:
“Structured AI Workspace Engine”
I engineered a modular AI workspace with project-scoped memory isolation, streaming LLM orchestration, and document-aware contextual prompting using clean architectural boundaries.
