### Usage
#### Web Interface (Recommended)
1. **Start the backend API** (required for the demo UI)
```bash
python -m uvicorn --app-dir src server.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
/status and /process_file endpoints used by the UI.# Set the backend URL if needed # PowerShell: $env:BACKEND_URL='http://127.0.0.1:8000' # bash/zsh: export BACKEND_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000 python launch_gradio.py
http://localhost:7860 (or a free port) Class: Algebra II
Subject: Mathematics
Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 13
Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides
2x = 8
Step 2: Divide by 2
x = 4
```
2. Run the grading system
# Enhanced agentic workflow (recommended) python src/main_agentic.py # Alternative: MCP server mode python src/main_agentic.py mcp # Run tests python tests/test_specialized_processors.py

Use the helper scripts to visualize the agentic workflow graph:
# From the repo root # Simplified graph (quick overview) python simple_graph_viz.py # outputs simple_workflow.png # Detailed graph (full node/edge view) python visualize_graph.py # outputs workflow_graph.png # Combined demo (runs multiple visualizations) python test_graph_visualization.py
The system includes comprehensive LangSmith tracing for monitoring and debugging:
Enable tracing by setting LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true in your .env file.
Copy the example file:
cp .env.example .env
Edit .env and add your API keys (set the ones you use):
# Required for default setup GROQ_API_KEY=your_actual_groq_api_key_here # Optional providers (enable in YAML and set keys) OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key_here
Edit src/core/paths.py to customize:
ASSIGNMENTS_FOLDER = "Assignments" PLAGIARISM_REPORTS_FOLDER = "plagiarism_reports" SUMMARY_CSV_PATH = "output/summary.csv" GRAPH_OUTPUT_PATH = "graph.png"
The multi‑LLM providers and priority are configured in config/llm_config.yaml.
Key settings:
provider_priority: order in which providers are attemptedproviders.*.enabled: set to true for providers you’ve set API keys forproviders.*.models.default: default model names per providerfailover: circuit breaker thresholds/timeoutsExample:
provider_priority: 1: groq 2: openai 3: anthropic 4: gemini providers: groq: enabled: true models: default: llama-3.1-8b-instant openai: enabled: false models: default: gpt-4o-mini anthropic: enabled: false models: default: claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 gemini: enabled: true models: default: gemini-1.5-pro

To avoid dependency conflicts and keep the UI fast, run the Demo UI (Gradio) and Backend (FastAPI + LangChain + spaCy) in separate virtual environments.
Windows PowerShell quickstart:
# 1) Demo UI (Gradio) .\\scripts\\setup-demo.ps1 .\\.venv-demo\\Scripts\\Activate.ps1 # 2) Backend (FastAPI + LangChain + spaCy) .\\scripts\\setup-backend.ps1 .\\venv\\Scripts\\Activate.ps1
Start the backend (in backend env):
.\\venv\\Scripts\\Activate.ps1 python -m uvicorn --app-dir src server.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
Launch the demo UI (in demo env):
.\\.venv-demo\\Scripts\\Activate.ps1 $env:BACKEND_URL='http://127.0.0.1:8000' # Optional: choose a port or auto-pick a free one $env:GRADIO_SERVER_PORT='0' # or '7861' # Optional: public share link (enabled by default here) # $env:GRADIO_SHARE='true' python launch_gradio.py
Notes
Environment variables
BACKEND_URL: FastAPI URL for the demo UI, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8000.GRADIO_SERVER_PORT: UI port; use 0 (or auto) to auto-pick a free port.GRADIO_SERVER_NAME: UI host bind (default 127.0.0.1).GRADIO_SHARE: true to create a shareable link (default true in this repo).DEMO_INBROWSER: true to auto-open the browser.Visualize the agentic workflow
