HR Policy Agent Architecture
The Platform, Specialized for Policy Q&A
The HR Policy Agent runs on the same base Vervelo Agents Platform architecture as every other agent — here, the streaming runtime answers questions live, a durable runtime ingests and indexes your documents, and the connected tools are the document, HRIS, and ticketing systems policy Q&A depends on.
Context Engineering
Engineered Context, Every Turn
Reliable agents aren't a single clever prompt — they're the product of context engineering: assembling exactly the right information into the model's context window on every turn. It's the discipline we build every Vervelo agent around. Here's what the HR Policy Agent works from on each turn, and how we engineer it.
HR Policy Agent context window
Assembled fresh on every turnSystem Instructions
The policy persona and guardrails — answer only from approved documents, always cite, and refuse or escalate when unsure.
Tool Definitions
Document search, HRIS lookup, and ticketing tools with schemas so answers and escalations are precise.
Memory & User State
The employee's context — location, department, and employment type — so answers reflect the policies that apply to them.
Conversation History
The Q&A thread so far, so follow-up questions resolve against earlier context.
Retrieved Knowledge
Policy vectors — the handbook, SOPs, and regional addenda — retrieved as the grounded source for every answer.
Environment Results
Search hits with source passages, HRIS lookups, and any 'not found' results that trigger a cited fallback or handoff.
