Modular Agent Intelligence Stack
The Modular Agent Intelligence Stack is the core design philosophy that powers Brainloom’s AI agents. Each agent is built from discrete, interoperable components that together form a self-contained, adaptive, and upgradeable intelligence unit. This modular design supports customization, composability, reuse, and scalability — enabling developers, creators, and businesses to build complex, domain-specific agents without rebuilding core functionalities.
Stack Composition
The stack is composed of six core layers, each representing a critical function of the agent lifecycle — from data ingestion and decision-making to interfacing with users and external systems.
1. Cognition Layer
Defines the agent’s core reasoning, decision-making, and learning processes.
LLM Core Modules: Integrates large language models (e.g., GPT, Claude, Mixtral, fine-tuned open-source models)
Inference Engines: Encapsulate contextual memory, reasoning, and prompt adaptation
Learning Subsystems: Enable online learning, few-shot updates, and RAG (retrieval-augmented generation)
Agent Persona Memory: Persistent memory embeddings tailored to individual agent behavior
2. Perception Layer
Interfaces with the world to receive structured and unstructured inputs.
NLP Interfaces: Process natural language commands and extract semantic meaning
Vision Modules: Process images, video, or visual context (OCR, object detection, segmentation)
Audio & Speech Recognition: Converts spoken inputs to structured text for further processing
Sensor Streams (optional): Accepts data from external IoT or edge devices
3. Execution Layer
Responsible for task planning, action sequencing, and interaction orchestration.
Task Planner: Breaks down high-level goals into sequenced sub-tasks
Flow Controller: Executes logic trees, scripts, or adaptive behaviors
Tool Integration Manager: Connects with external tools and APIs (e.g., Notion, Slack, Dune)
Plugin/Skill Manager: Dynamically loads agent-specific plugins or skills
4. Interaction Layer
Enables communication with users and systems across modalities.
Conversational Interface: Handles context-aware chat and dialogue
UI Components: Renders results, dashboards, or data visualizations when embedded
Voice Interface (Optional): Text-to-speech and speech synthesis for auditory output
API Gateway: Communicates with external apps via REST/GraphQL/WebSocket
5. Control Layer
Governs configuration, access, safety, and ethical constraints.
Rules Engine: Domain-specific policies, restrictions, and behavioral constraints
Access Controls: Role-based access to capabilities and data
Execution Boundaries: Limits on compute intensity, runtime, or environment exposure
Explainability Interface: Outputs interpretable reasoning when required
6. Runtime & Container Layer
Provides the infrastructure abstraction and deployment framework.
Lightweight Runtime Environment: Isolated containers for secure and reproducible execution
Agent Container Spec (ACS): Brainloom-standardized packaging of agents for compute compatibility
State Management: Persistent storage of agent state, variables, and metadata
Multitenancy Support: Run multiple agents per node securely with resource throttling
Modularity Benefits
Composable Agents
Developers can build agents by combining pre-built modules or capabilities
Custom Extensions
Easily add new tools, APIs, or models via plugin architecture
Performance Optimization
Lightweight agents can be deployed for simple tasks; heavyweight agents can scale
Security Isolation
Individual modules can be sandboxed or audited independently
Rapid Iteration
Swap or upgrade components without affecting the full agent
Agent Blueprint Templates
Brainloom provides starter blueprints that define how modules are arranged for different domains:
Conversational Agent Blueprint: Focused on dialogue, memory, and sentiment
Data Intelligence Agent Blueprint: Includes analytics tools, data connectors, and dashboard renderers
Creative Agent Blueprint: Emphasizes text/image generation, style transfer, or content creation
DevOps Agent Blueprint: Uses code interpreters, CI/CD tools, and cloud APIs
Autonomous Workflow Agent: Designed for recurring tasks, multi-step automation, and scheduling
Each blueprint uses the same underlying stack, ensuring interoperability across agents.
Upgradability & Versioning
Agents are continuously evolvable without service interruption.
Modular Updates: Swap individual modules (e.g., new LLM, planning engine) at runtime
Versioning Registry: Every agent version is stored on-chain with semantic version tags
Rollback Support: Roll back to a known-good configuration when necessary
Dependency Management: Ensures compatibility between agent components and plugins
Federation & Collaboration
Agents can work collaboratively using shared protocol standards:
Federated Memory Sync: Share relevant embeddings across agents
Task Handoff Protocol: Agents pass tasks to specialized sub-agents with feedback routing
Knowledge Graph Sharing: Agents contribute to and query a shared multi-agent graph
Modular by Design, Powerful by Composition
The Modular Agent Intelligence Stack is the foundation of Brainloom's vision for scalable AI ecosystems. By allowing individual components to be developed, upgraded, and governed independently, Brainloom enables:
Fine-grained control over AI behavior
Rapid development of specialized agents
Safe experimentation and composable intelligence
Future-proof, chain-agnostic infrastructure for the agent economy.
