Publication number: 20260141264Abstract: A system generates domain-expert agents for a particular domain. The system generates a hierarchy of topics for the domain by forming structured query inputs and requesting a machine learning-based language model to produce topics and associated sets of search terms. A knowledge store is built for the domain by identifying, for each topic, facts represented symbolically and/or in natural language. For at least one topic, programs comprising instructions for executing domain-specific procedures are generated and stored as symbolic and/or natural language programs. The knowledge store is evaluated to determine an expertise level for a domain-expert agent. If the knowledge store meets a threshold of knowledge, a deployment package is created comprising the knowledge store, and the domain-expert agent is deployed. The deployed agent utilizes the knowledge store together with a machine learning language model to address and solve problems specific to the domain.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2025Publication date: May 21, 2026Inventors: Christopher Nguyen, Manh-Nguyen Nguyen, Hong An Phan, Zooey Nhu-Quynh Nguyen, The-Vinh Luong, Elise Nhu-Y Nguyen, Thomas Rasmussen, Anh Hai Ha, Phi-Hung Vo, Xuan-Sang Dinh, Hyu-Thuan Bui, Anh-Quoc Dang
