AI Architect

What it does

The AI Architect (Workspace) is a chat-style assistant tuned for network design tasks: address planning, BGP/EVPN review, BoM generation, runbook drafting, and post-mortem analysis. It runs on Lovable AI Gateway with multiple model tiers.

Required inputs

  • A mode — Architect, Reviewer, Operator, or Chat.
  • A goal sentence — what you want produced.
  • Constraints — scale, vendor, redundancy, budget, compliance.
  • Output shape — bullets, table, config snippet, JSON.
  • Optional grounding — paste configs, topology JSON, or BoM.

Example output

Prompt:

> Design a leaf-spine fabric for 96 dual-homed servers with EVPN-VXLAN. 2 spines, MLAG leaves, underlay from 10.10.0.0/16. Output as a checklist.

Answer (truncated):

```

  • 4× leaves (2× MLAG pairs), 2× spines
  • Loopbacks: 10.10.0.0/24 → /32 per device
  • P2P fabric: 10.10.1.0/24 → /31 per link
  • BGP: eBGP underlay, AS 65000 (spines), 65001-65004 (leaves)
  • EVPN: iBGP overlay over loopbacks, RR on spines

```
