You mentioned that "Everything beneath the Grace Cathedral experience is built on open source foundations." How feasible is it for a novice to build such an experience. Say I wanted one for my own house (should be MUCH less challenging)

Conductor is a LLM agnostic framework for building sophisticated AI applications using a subagent architecture. It provides a robust platform for orchestrating multiple specialized AI agents to accomplish complex tasks, with features like LLM-based planning, memory persistence, and dynamic tool use.
It provides a robust and flexible platform for orchestrating multiple specialized AI agents to accomplish complex tasks. This project is inspired by the concepts outlined in "The Rise of Subagents" by Phil Schmid at https://www.philschmid.de/the-rise-of-subagents and it aims to provide a practical implementation of this powerful architectural pattern.
So, I decided to build a practical implementation of this system with a central Orchestrator that manages a fleet of implicit or explicit Subagents. Each subagent is a specialized, isolated AI agent designed to perform a specific subtask. More details in the repo README at https://github.com/skanga/conductor
But GenAI is a major upheaval. In most those, a massive amount of initial capital is invested, but the payoff happens slowly - only over decades. But the payoffs are huge.
Think about electricity. Building out the grid was HUGELY expensive. But then benefits are derived for decades. Same for the highway system, railway system, etc.
There is not team that is 100% bad so you don't need a full rewrite of 100% of the code base.
