01 / Vāda on Teams

Multi-agent deliberation, packaged as callable teams.

Vāda is the first product built on the Atta engine. It packages multi-agent deliberation into callable teams: Reviewers, Crucible, Sparring, War Room, and more. Each team is a YAML configuration the engine compiles into a runnable plan.

Use Vāda from the web app, or via MCP from Claude.ai, Cursor, and other AI assistants.

Published teams

Crucible

Sparring

Reviewers

Reviewers + Synthesis

War Room

Vendor-diverse review — Gemini · GPT · Grok · Claude. Auditable deliberation transcripts.

02 / Atta Engine

YAML-driven deliberation.

The Atta engine is a runtime for multi-agent deliberation. It compiles YAML team configurations into executable plans, runs them through a LangGraph state machine, and routes per-turn calls through a cognitive router — intent classification, tool filtering, budget enforcement, cost tracking.

The engine has zero branches on workflow type. Every variation between deliberations — number of agents, rounds, audit configuration, synthesis behavior — lives in YAML. Adding a new deliberation pattern is creating a YAML file, not changing engine code.

One substrate. Different surfaces.

Architecture layers

YAML Config

Team definitions compiled into executable plans

Plan Compiler

Validates structure, builds the execution graph

LangGraph

State machine executes the compiled plan

Cognitive Router

Intent · tool filtering · budget · cost per turn

Audit Trail

Structured conclusions with full deliberation transcript

Bring your models. Deliberate across them. Keep what matters.

03 / Ecosystem

The Atta Ecosystem

Atta is an ecosystem of AI products. Each product has a Pāli name; tools that plug in have English names. Vāda is the first; others are sequenced after it.

Vāda

From Pāli: Deliberation

Multi-agent deliberation engine. The first product.

Herald

Pluggable MCP tool

Forensic CV-to-job-description match tool. English name — plugs in to Atta.

Vitakka

From Pāli: Directed thought

Personal AI thinking partner. Resumes after Vāda revenue milestone.

Paused

Sati

From Pāli: Mindfulness

Cross-provider memory layer. Builds downstream of Vitakka.

Conceptual

Cetana

From Pāli: Intention

Deliberation-guided execution. Long-horizon.

Future

AttaLabs is the workshop.

AttaLabs is where Atta is being built in public. Each component ships when it's useful and remains part of the lab. Vāda is in active use. Vitakka is in scaffold. Atta will eventually move to its own home as the composed product matures.

The lab stays. The product is what comes out of it.

Why Pāli?

Each Pāli term is a precise concept from a tradition that thought carefully about minds. Vāda is debate. Vitakka is directed thought. Atta is the self that continues. Names that already mean what we want them to mean.

Pāli name = built by Atta. Anything else plugs in.

Vāda is live today.
