What are the main components of ZBrain Builder's architecture?

ZBrain Builder’s architecture consists of seven interconnected layers:

  • Data integration and ingestion – Unifies structured and unstructured data from enterprise and external sources via connectors; supports real-time and scheduled ETL and OCR/document AI to normalize content securely into a queryable format.

  • Knowledge base – Manages structured and unstructured information using vector stores, chunking and knowledge graphs.

  • LLM orchestration layer – Enables integration with public, private or open-weight models (e.g., GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama).

  • Builder engine – The low-code orchestration core for developing and managing AI workflows, business logic and integrations.

  • Agents layer – Enables teams to create and run autonomous agents and multi-agent crews (with MCP/tooling support) to execute reasoning and actions across systems.

  • Tuning layer – Ensures continuous optimization through monitoring, evaluation, guardrails and human feedback.

  • Interface and integration layer – Offers APIs, SDKs and collaboration integrations for deployment across enterprise environments.

Each layer can operate and evolve independently, allowing enterprises to customize, extend or replace components without disrupting the entire system.
