ARA - Advanced Reasoning Agent

Production-grade agentic reasoning system with multi-step problem solving and self-reflection.

ARA is a state-of-the-art agentic reasoning system built on LangGraph. It combines the ReAct (Reason + Act) pattern with a self-reflection loop to solve complex problems with unprecedented accuracy. Powered by OpenRouter, ARA achieves 100% accuracy on GSM8K math reasoning benchmarks.

Key Features

• Multi-Step Reasoning — Implements a robust ReAct loop using LangGraph for structured, step-by-step thinking
• Self-Reflection — A dedicated reflection node critiques the agent's work, catching logical errors before finalizing
• Secure Code Execution — Integrated E2B Cloud Sandbox for safe, real-time Python execution
• Real-Time Search — Hybrid intelligence powered by Tavily API for up-to-the-minute web information
• Tool-Augmented Math — Mandatory calculator usage ensures arithmetic accuracy

Architecture

ARA uses a cyclic graph architecture to manage state and reasoning flow:

graph TD
    Start((Start)) --> Reason[Reasoning Node]
    Reason --> Check{Should Continue?}
    
    Check -- "Tool Call" --> Tools[Tool Execution]
    Tools --> Reason
    
    Check -- "Complex Task" --> Reflect[Self-Reflection]
    Check -- "Final Answer" --> Finish((Finish))
    
    Reflect --> AfterReflect{Needs Correction?}
    AfterReflect -- "Yes" --> Tools
    AfterReflect -- "No" --> Finish
