AI Agent Challenge

An autonomous coding agent that generates custom parsers for bank statement PDFs using AI-powered code generation and self-debugging capabilities.

🚀 Overview

This project demonstrates an intelligent agent that can automatically analyze bank statement PDFs, understand their structure, and generate working Python parsers to extract transaction data. The agent follows a "plan → generate → test → fix" loop pattern and can work with multiple LLM providers.

✨ Key Features

• 🤖 Autonomous Code Generation: AI-powered parser creation without manual intervention
• 🔄 Self-Debugging: Automatic error analysis and code refinement (up to 3 attempts)
• 📊 Multi-Format Support: Handles various bank statement formats
• 🧪 Built-in Testing: Automatic validation against expected CSV outputs
• 🔧 Provider Agnostic: Supports multiple LLM providers (Google Gemini, Groq)
• 📝 Production Ready: Type-safe code with comprehensive documentation

🏗️ Architecture

Core Components

1. Agent Loop (agent.py & agent_demo.py)

   • State management with AgentState class
   • Autonomous planning and code generation
   • Self-debugging with error recovery
   • Rich console output with progress tracking

2. Parser Generator (ParserGenerator class)

   • PDF structure analysis
   • CSV schema analysis
   • LLM-powered code generation
   • Automatic testing and validation

3. Generated Parsers (custom_parsers/)

   • Type-safe Python code with full documentation
   • Handles date parsing, number formatting, text extraction
   • Error handling and validation
   • Matches expected CSV schema exactly

4. Test Suite (tests/ & test_parser.py)

   • Automated validation against expected CSV
   • DataFrame equality checking
   • Simple CLI testing without pytest dependency

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• pip package manager

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd ai-agent-challenge

2. Install dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the demo (No API keys required)

   python demo.py

Basic Usage

Demo Mode (No API Keys Required)

# Run the complete demo workflow
python agent_demo.py --target icici

# Test the generated parser
python test_parser.py icici

Full LLM Mode (Requires API Key)

# Set your API key
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-google-api-key"
# or
export GROQ_API_KEY="your-groq-api-key"

# Run with LLM provider
python agent.py --target icici --provider google

Custom Bank Statement

# Add your own bank statement data
python agent.py --target your-bank --pdf your-statement.pdf --csv your-sample.csv

🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables

• GOOGLE_API_KEY: Google Gemini API key
• GROQ_API_KEY: Groq API key
• OPENAI_API_KEY: OpenAI API key (if supported)

Supported LLM Providers

• Google Gemini: --provider google
• Groq: --provider groq
• Template Mode: No API key required (demo mode)

📊 Supported Banks

Currently supports:

• ICICI Bank: Complete implementation with sample data

Easily extensible for:

• SBI (State Bank of India)
• HDFC Bank
• Axis Bank
• And other banks with similar statement formats

🧪 Testing

Run Tests

# Test specific parser
python test_parser.py icici

# Run all tests
python -m pytest tests/

Test Validation

The test framework automatically:

• Validates generated parsers against expected CSV outputs
• Performs DataFrame equality checking
• Reports detailed error information
• Ensures cross-platform compatibility

🔍 How It Works

1. Analysis Phase

• Analyzes PDF structure and content
• Examines expected CSV schema
• Identifies data patterns and formats

2. Generation Phase

• Uses LLM to generate parser code
• Implements proper error handling
• Ensures type safety and documentation

3. Testing Phase

• Dynamically imports generated parser
• Executes against sample data
• Validates output against expected results

4. Debugging Phase

• Analyzes test failures
• Generates fixes and improvements
• Repeats up to 3 times for optimal results
