Agentic research tooling

Agentic desk-research tooling that lets UX researchers reason over third-party reports, surveys, and analyst data at scale. Built end to end: ingestion and enrichment pipelines, a multi-step agent orchestrated with the Agent Development Kit (ADK), Gemini for retrieval and synthesis, A2A for delegating subtasks across specialised agents, and an A2UI front-end that streams the agent's reasoning as it works.
