About AAR Agent

Transform critical incidents into strategic learning opportunities

What is the AAR Agent?

The AAR (After-Action Review) Agent is an AI-powered platform that helps organizations transform critical incidents into strategic learning opportunities. Using advanced artificial intelligence and principles from the Agile Symbiosis framework from Michael Janzen's forthcoming book "Agile Symbiosis: The Rise of the Poly-Shaped Professional in the Era of AI", we analyze your incidents to generate comprehensive strategic response roadmaps.

Rather than simply documenting what went wrong, our AI helps you understand the deeper implications, identify systemic improvements, and create actionable plans that prevent future occurrences while strengthening your organization's resilience.

Built with Replit in 6 Hours

This entire application was rapid-prototyped and developed using Replit's AI-powered development environment in just 6 hours. The speed of development demonstrates the power of modern AI-assisted coding combined with cloud-native infrastructure.

Core Technology Stack: Python Flask backend with OpenAI GPT-4o integration, Bootstrap-powered responsive frontend, and intelligent content chunking for handling large incident reports. The application leverages Replit's built-in PostgreSQL database and seamless deployment pipeline.

The sections below provide detailed technical architecture and implementation details for developers interested in understanding the system's design patterns and technology choices.

How It Works

1. Input Incident Details

Describe your incident, affected systems, and business impact in our structured form.

2. AI Analysis

Our AI processes your data using the Agile Symbiosis methodology for comprehensive analysis.

3. Strategic Roadmap

Receive prioritized recommendations, action matrices, and communication templates.

4. Implementation

Use our structured reports to guide your team's response and prevention efforts.

Agentic Data Processing Pipeline: The system employs multiple AI agents (highlighted in orange borders) that intelligently process incident data through smart chunking, dynamic prompt engineering, strategic analysis, and output formatting. Each agent makes autonomous decisions to optimize the analysis quality and handle complex incident scenarios.
