Hannibal Conversational AI Agent System Design

Architecture and Implementation Specification​

Version 1.0 | February 2026

🚀 STATUS: DESIGN PHASE

This document outlines the architecture for a world-class conversational AI agent system that enables natural language interaction with the Hannibal platform.

Executive Summary​

The Hannibal AI Agent System enables users to interact with the platform using natural language through a sophisticated multi-channel interface. The system leverages cutting-edge 2025/2026 AI architecture patterns including:

  • Generative UI (GenUI): AI generates interactive React components, not just text
  • Function Calling/Tool Use: LLM executes typed actions via tool definitions
  • A2UI Protocol: Google's December 2025 standard for agent-driven interfaces
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol): Anthropic's universal tool integration standard
  • Multi-Channel Support: Web chat, Telegram bot, and future integrations

Key User Capabilities:

  • "Show me all India matches in the next week"
  • "Show me my winning bets this month"
  • "Place a 1000 point back bet on Mumbai at 2.50"
  • "Give 5000 points to user john_doe"
  • "Show me the top soccer matches today"
  • "What's my current balance?"

1. Design Philosophy​

1.1 Why Generative UI Over Text-Only?​

Traditional chatbots return text. Generative UI returns interactive components.

ApproachUser Says: "Show India matches"User Experience
Text-OnlyReturns: "India vs Pakistan, Feb 10, 2.50 odds..."User reads text, must navigate away to bet
NavigationOpens /sports/cricket?team=india pageContext lost, disruptive
Generative UIRenders <MatchCard> components with BET buttons inlineActions without leaving chat!

Our Approach: Generative UI with inline actions - the user can bet, navigate, or get more info without leaving the conversation.

2. System Architecture​

2.1 High-Level Architecture Diagram​

2.2 Request Flow Example​

User says: "Show me India matches this week"

3. Core Components​

3.1 Agent Orchestrator​

The brain of the system - receives user messages and coordinates tool execution.

interface AgentOrchestrator {
  // Process incoming message and return response with optional UI
  processMessage(input: AgentInput): Promise<AgentResponse>;

  // Available tools for the LLM
  tools: Tool[];

  // Conversation history for context
  conversationContext: ConversationContext;
}

interface AgentInput {
  message: string;
  userId: string;
  channel: 'web' | 'telegram' | 'mobile';
  conversationId?: string;
  metadata?: Record<string, unknown>;
}

interface AgentResponse {
  text: string;                    // Natural language response
  ui?: UIComponent[];              // Generative UI components
  actions?: QuickAction[];         // Suggested follow-up actions
  toolsUsed?: ToolExecution[];     // For transparency/debugging
}

3.2 Tool Registry (MCP Compatible)​

Tools are defined following the Model Context Protocol standard:

interface Tool {
  name: string;
  description: string;
  inputSchema: JSONSchema;
  execute: (input: unknown, context: ToolContext) => Promise<ToolResult>;
}

interface ToolContext {
  userId: string;
  userRole: 'user' | 'agent' | 'admin';
  permissions: string[];
}

interface ToolResult {
  success: boolean;
  data?: unknown;
  error?: string;
  uiHint?: 'list' | 'card' | 'table' | 'chart' | 'confirmation';
}

3.3 Generative UI Engine​

Transforms tool results into renderable UI components:

interface UIGenerator {
  // Generate UI based on tool result and context
  generate(toolResult: ToolResult, context: UIContext): UIComponent;
}

interface UIComponent {
  type: string;                    // Component type: 'MatchCard', 'BetSlip', etc.
  props: Record<string, unknown>;  // Component props
  actions?: UIAction[];            // Interactive actions
  children?: UIComponent[];        // Nested components
}

interface UIAction {
  label: string;
  action: 'navigate' | 'execute' | 'confirm';
  payload: unknown;
}

  }
};

5. Generative UI Components​

5.1 Component Definitions​

These React components render in the chat interface:

// Match Card - displays a single match with betting options
interface MatchCardProps {
  matchId: string;
  homeTeam: string;
  awayTeam: string;
  competition: string;
  startTime: string;
  status: 'scheduled' | 'live' | 'finished';
  odds?: {
    home: number;
    draw?: number;
    away: number;
  };
  actions: {
    onBetClick: (selection: string) => void;
    onDetailsClick: () => void;
  };
}

// Match List - displays multiple matches
interface MatchListProps {
  title: string;
  matches: MatchCardProps[];
  showMoreAction?: () => void;
}

// Bet Slip - shows bet about to be placed
interface BetSlipProps {
  match: string;
  selection: string;
  betType: 'back' | 'lay';
  stake: number;
  odds: number;
  potentialReturn: number;
  onConfirm: () => void;
  onCancel: () => void;
}

// Bet History Table
interface BetHistoryProps {
  bets: {
    id: string;
    match: string;
    selection: string;
    stake: number;
    odds: number;
    status: 'open' | 'won' | 'lost' | 'void';
    pnl?: number;
  }[];
  summary?: {
    totalBets: number;
    won: number;
    lost: number;
    netPnL: number;
  };
}

// Balance Card
interface BalanceCardProps {
  available: number;
  exposure: number;
  total: number;
  currency: string;
}

// Confirmation Dialog
interface ConfirmationProps {
  title: string;
  message: string;
  details: Record<string, string | number>;
  onConfirm: () => void;
  onCancel: () => void;
  confirmLabel?: string;
  cancelLabel?: string;
  variant?: 'default' | 'warning' | 'danger';
}

5.2 A2UI Portable Format​

For cross-platform rendering (Web/Telegram/Mobile), we use a portable format:

// Portable UI Definition (renders differently per platform)
interface A2UIComponent {
  $type: string;           // Component type
  $id: string;             // Unique ID for actions
  $props: unknown;         // Platform-specific props
  $actions?: A2UIAction[]; // Interactive actions
  $children?: A2UIComponent[];
}

// Example: Match Card in A2UI format
const matchCardA2UI: A2UIComponent = {
  $type: 'card',
  $id: 'match-123',
  $props: {
    title: 'India vs Pakistan',
    subtitle: 'ICC World Cup • Feb 10, 14:30',
    status: { label: 'LIVE', color: 'green' }
  },
  $actions: [
    { id: 'bet-india', label: 'India @ 2.50', action: 'BET', payload: { sel: 'india' } },
    { id: 'bet-pak', label: 'Pakistan @ 1.80', action: 'BET', payload: { sel: 'pakistan' } },
    { id: 'details', label: 'More Markets', action: 'NAVIGATE', payload: { url: '/fixture/123' } }
  ]
};

Your capabilities:
- Search and display sports matches (soccer, cricket, horse racing)
- Show user's betting history and filter by status (won/lost/open)
- Display account balance and information
- Help users place bets (with confirmation)
- Navigate users to specific pages
- For admins/agents: manage users and transfer points

Guidelines:
- Always be helpful, concise, and accurate
- When showing matches, use the getMatches tool
- When user asks about their bets, use getBets tool
- For betting actions, ALWAYS show confirmation before executing
- If you're not sure about something, ask for clarification
- Keep responses focused on the user's request

7.2 Telegram UI Renderer​

// backend/src/services/telegram/uiRenderer.ts

import { InlineKeyboard } from 'grammy';

export class TelegramUIRenderer {
  async render(ctx: Context, response: AgentResponse) {
    // Text-only response

          JSON.stringify({ action: 'BET', matchId: props.matchId, selection: 'home' }))
        .text(`${props.awayTeam} @ ${props.odds.away}`,
          JSON.stringify({ action: 'BET', matchId: props.matchId, selection: 'away' }));

      `🏆 ${props.competition}\n` +
      `📅 ${props.startTime}`;

    await ctx.reply(message, {

      reply_markup: keyboard
    });
  }

  private async renderMatchList(ctx: Context, props: MatchListProps) {

8. UX Design Patterns​

8.1 Conversation Examples​

Example 1: Finding Matches

User: Show me all India cricket matches
AI: 🏏 Found 3 upcoming India matches:

[MatchCard: India vs Pakistan - ICC World Cup - Feb 10]
[MatchCard: India vs Australia - ICC World Cup - Feb 15]
[MatchCard: India vs England - ICC World Cup - Feb 20]

Would you like to see odds for any of these?

Example 2: Checking Bets

User: Show me my winning bets this month
AI: 🎉 Great month! Here are your winning bets:

[BetHistoryTable]
| Match              | Selection | Stake | Odds | Won    |
|--------------------|-----------|-------|------|--------|
| India vs Pakistan  | India     | 500   | 2.10 | +550   |
| Mumbai vs Chennai  | Mumbai    | 1000  | 1.85 | +850   |
| ...               |           |       |      |        |

Summary: 8 winning bets, Total profit: +4,250 pts

User: What about my losses?
AI: 📊 Here are your losing bets this month:
[Shows losing bets, maintains context]

Example 3: Placing a Bet

User: Bet 500 on India to win
AI: 🎲 I found India vs Pakistan (Feb 10).

[BetSlip]
Match: India vs Pakistan
Selection: India to win
Type: BACK
Stake: 500 pts
Odds: 2.10
Potential Return: 1,050 pts

[Confirm] [Cancel]

User: [Clicks Confirm]
AI: ✅ Bet placed successfully!
Your bet ID: BET-12345
Good luck! 🍀

Example 4: Admin Action

Admin: Give 5000 points to john_doe
AI: ⚠️ Confirm Point Transfer

[ConfirmationCard]
To: john_doe
Amount: 5,000 pts
Reason: Manual transfer

[Confirm Transfer] [Cancel]

Admin: [Confirms]
AI: ✅ Successfully transferred 5,000 pts to john_doe
New balance for john_doe: 12,500 pts

8.2 Quick Actions​

After each response, suggest relevant follow-up actions:

interface QuickAction {
  label: string;
  message: string;  // Pre-filled message to send
}

// Example quick actions after showing matches:
const matchQuickActions: QuickAction[] = [
  { label: '📊 Show odds', message: 'Show me the odds for this match' },
  { label: '🎲 Place a bet', message: 'I want to bet on this match' },
  { label: '📺 View match', message: 'Show me match details' },
  { label: '🔙 Back', message: 'Show me other matches' }
];

8.3 Error Handling UX​

// Graceful error messages
const errorMessages = {
  notFound: (entity: string) =>
    `I couldn't find any ${entity}. Try different search terms?`,

  unauthorized: (action: string) =>
    `You don't have permission to ${action}. Please contact support if you think this is an error.`,

  insufficientBalance: (required: number, available: number) =>
    `Insufficient balance. You need ${required} pts but only have ${available} pts available.`,

  marketClosed: () =>
    `This market is currently closed. I can show you other available markets if you'd like.`,

  generic: () =>
    `Something went wrong. Please try again or rephrase your request.`
};

9. Security and Authorization​

9.1 Authentication Flow​

9.2 Permission Model​

ToolUserAgentAdmin
getMatches✅✅✅
getMatchDetails✅✅✅
getBets (own)✅✅✅
getBets (any user)❌✅✅
getBalance (own)✅✅✅
getBalance (any user)❌✅✅
placeBet✅✅✅
givePoints❌✅ (to own users)✅
getUser❌✅ (own users)✅
getAllUsers❌❌✅
navigateTo✅✅✅

9.3 Action Confirmation​

Critical actions require explicit confirmation:

const criticalActions = [
  'placeBet',      // Always confirm before placing a bet
  'givePoints',    // Always confirm point transfers
  'cancelBet',     // Confirm bet cancellation
  'updateUser'     // Confirm user modifications
];

// Confirmation flow:
// 1. AI generates confirmation UI with action details
// 2. User clicks "Confirm" button
// 3. Frontend sends confirmation to /api/ai/execute
// 4. Backend verifies action matches pending confirmation
// 5. Execute and return result

9.4 Rate Limiting​

const rateLimits = {
  // Per user rate limits
  messagesPerMinute: 20,
  messagesPerHour: 200,
  betsPerMinute: 5,
  pointTransfersPerHour: 10,

  // Global limits
  totalMessagesPerMinute: 1000,

  // Telegram specific
  telegramMessagesPerMinute: 30
};

9.5 Audit Logging​

All AI interactions are logged for security and compliance:

interface AIAuditLog {
  id: string;
  timestamp: Date;
  userId: string;
  channel: 'web' | 'telegram';
  conversationId: string;

  // Request
  userMessage: string;

  // Processing
  intentClassified: string;
  toolsUsed: string[];

  // Response
  responseText: string;
  uiComponentsRendered: string[];

  // Actions
  actionsRequested?: {
    type: string;
    status: 'pending' | 'confirmed' | 'cancelled' | 'executed';
    details: unknown;
  }[];

  // Security
  permissionChecks: {
    tool: string;
    allowed: boolean;
    reason?: string;
  }[];
}

9.6 Content Safety​

// Input validation and sanitization
const contentSafety = {
  // Max message length
  maxMessageLength: 1000,

  // Forbidden patterns (injection attempts)
  forbiddenPatterns: [
    /ignore previous instructions/i,
    /system prompt/i,
    /bypass/i,
    /<script>/i
  ],

  // PII detection (don't expose in logs)
  piiPatterns: [
    /\b\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}\b/, // Credit cards
    /\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z|a-z]{2,}\b/ // Emails
  ]
};

12. Maintaining Tool Synchronization with Hannibal Features​

As Hannibal evolves—with new features added, existing features modified, or deprecated functionality removed—the AI Agent system must stay in sync. This section defines the strategies and patterns for ensuring the AI always reflects the current state of the platform.

12.1 Auto-Generated Tool Definitions from API Schema​

Tool definitions are auto-generated from the backend's TypeScript types and route definitions, ensuring the AI always has access to the latest capabilities.

// backend/src/ai/toolGenerator.ts

import { z } from 'zod';
import { apiRoutes } from '../routes';

/**
 * Generates MCP-compatible tool definitions from backend route schemas.
 * Run this during build or on server startup.
 */
export function generateToolsFromAPI(): Tool[] {
  const tools: Tool[] = [];

  for (const route of apiRoutes) {
    if (!route.aiEnabled) continue; // Only expose AI-enabled routes

    tools.push({
      name: route.aiToolName || route.name,
      description: route.aiDescription || route.description,
      inputSchema: zodToJsonSchema(route.inputSchema),
      execute: async (input, context) => {
        // Validate input against schema
        const validated = route.inputSchema.parse(input);
        // Call the actual route handler
        return route.handler(validated, context);
      }
    });
  }

  return tools;
}

// Example route definition with AI metadata
export const getMatchesRoute = {
  name: 'getMatches',
  path: '/api/fixtures',
  method: 'GET',
  aiEnabled: true,
  aiToolName: 'getMatches',
  aiDescription: 'Get sports matches/fixtures. Can filter by sport, team, competition, time.',
  inputSchema: z.object({
    sportId: z.string().optional().describe('Sport ID (1=Soccer, 27=Cricket, 7=Horse Racing)'),
    team: z.string().optional().describe('Team name to filter by'),
    competition: z.string().optional().describe('Competition name'),
    timeFilter: z.enum(['live', 'today', 'tomorrow', 'next7days', 'next30days']).optional(),
    limit: z.number().default(10).describe('Max results to return')
  }),
  handler: fixturesService.getFixtures
};

Benefits:

  • Single source of truth: API schema defines both REST validation and AI tool schema
  • New endpoints automatically become AI tools when aiEnabled: true is set
  • Type safety guaranteed across API and AI layers

12.2 Feature Flag Integration​

Tools check feature flags at runtime, ensuring the AI gracefully handles disabled features:

// backend/src/ai/tools/featureAwareTools.ts

import { featureFlags } from '../services/featureFlags';

export function wrapToolWithFeatureCheck(tool: Tool, featureKey: string): Tool {
  return {
    ...tool,
    execute: async (input, context) => {
      // Check if feature is enabled
      if (!featureFlags.isEnabled(featureKey)) {
        return {
          success: false,
          error: `This feature (${tool.name}) is currently unavailable.`,
          suggestion: 'Please try again later or contact support.'
        };
      }

      // Check if feature is enabled for this user's tier/role
      if (!featureFlags.isEnabledForUser(featureKey, context.userId)) {
        return {
          success: false,
          error: `This feature requires a different account type.`,
          suggestion: 'Contact your agent for access.'
        };
      }

      return tool.execute(input, context);
    }
  };
}

// Feature flag configuration
export const FEATURE_TOOL_MAPPING: Record<string, string[]> = {
  'cricket_betting': ['getMatches', 'placeBet'], // When cricket is disabled
  'horse_racing': ['getMatches', 'placeBet'],
  'live_betting': ['placeBet'],
  'point_transfers': ['givePoints'],
  'telegram_bot': ['telegramLink'],
};

12.3 Dynamic System Prompt Generation​

The AI's system prompt is dynamically generated based on current platform state:

// backend/src/ai/systemPromptGenerator.ts

import { featureFlags } from '../services/featureFlags';
import { getSupportedSports } from '../services/sports';
import { getToolRegistry } from './toolRegistry';

export async function generateSystemPrompt(context: ToolContext): Promise<string> {
  const enabledFeatures = await featureFlags.getEnabledFeatures();
  const activeSports = await getSupportedSports();
  const availableTools = getToolRegistry().getToolsForRole(context.userRole);

  return `You are Hannibal AI, an intelligent assistant for the Hannibal betting platform.

## Currently Available Features
${enabledFeatures.map(f => `- ${f.name}: ${f.description}`).join('\n')}

## Supported Sports
${activeSports.map(s => `- ${s.name} (ID: ${s.id})`).join('\n')}

## Your Available Tools
${availableTools.map(t => `- ${t.name}: ${t.description}`).join('\n')}

## Important Notes
${enabledFeatures.some(f => f.name === 'live_betting') ? '' : '- Live betting is currently disabled\n'}
${context.userRole === 'user' ? '- You cannot access other users\' information\n' : ''}

## Guidelines
- Always be helpful, concise, and accurate
- For betting actions, ALWAYS show confirmation before executing
- If a feature is unavailable, explain alternatives
- Keep responses focused on the user's request

Current user: ${context.userId}
User role: ${context.userRole}`;
}

12.4 Graceful Deprecation Handling​

When features are deprecated or removed, the AI handles them gracefully:

// backend/src/ai/deprecation.ts

interface DeprecatedTool {
  oldName: string;
  newName?: string;          // Replacement tool, if any
  removalDate: Date;
  migrationMessage: string;
}

export const DEPRECATED_TOOLS: DeprecatedTool[] = [
  {
    oldName: 'getOldMatches',
    newName: 'getMatches',
    removalDate: new Date('2026-06-01'),
    migrationMessage: 'This tool has been renamed. Using getMatches instead.'
  },
  {
    oldName: 'legacyBetPlace',
    newName: 'placeBet',
    removalDate: new Date('2026-04-01'),
    migrationMessage: 'Please use the new placeBet tool for improved functionality.'
  }
];

export function handleDeprecatedTool(toolName: string): ToolResult | null {
  const deprecated = DEPRECATED_TOOLS.find(d => d.oldName === toolName);

  if (!deprecated) return null;

  if (new Date() > deprecated.removalDate) {
    // Tool has been removed
    return {
      success: false,
      error: `The ${toolName} tool has been removed.`,
      suggestion: deprecated.newName
        ? `Please use "${deprecated.newName}" instead.`
        : 'This functionality is no longer available.'
    };
  }

  // Tool is deprecated but still works - log warning
  console.warn(`Deprecated tool "${toolName}" used. ${deprecated.migrationMessage}`);
  return null; // Continue with execution
}

12.5 Tool Registry Pattern​

A centralized registry manages all tools and their lifecycle:

// backend/src/ai/toolRegistry.ts

export class ToolRegistry {
  private tools: Map<string, Tool> = new Map();
  private toolMetadata: Map<string, ToolMetadata> = new Map();

  register(tool: Tool, metadata: ToolMetadata): void {
    this.tools.set(tool.name, tool);
    this.toolMetadata.set(tool.name, metadata);
  }

  unregister(toolName: string): void {
    this.tools.delete(toolName);
    this.toolMetadata.delete(toolName);
  }

  getToolsForRole(role: string): Tool[] {
    return Array.from(this.tools.values()).filter(tool => {
      const meta = this.toolMetadata.get(tool.name);
      return meta?.allowedRoles.includes(role);
    });
  }

  getActiveTools(): Tool[] {
    return Array.from(this.tools.values()).filter(tool => {
      const meta = this.toolMetadata.get(tool.name);
      return meta?.status === 'active';
    });
  }

  // Called on feature flag changes
  onFeatureFlagChange(flagName: string, enabled: boolean): void {
    const affectedTools = FEATURE_TOOL_MAPPING[flagName] || [];
    for (const toolName of affectedTools) {
      const meta = this.toolMetadata.get(toolName);
      if (meta) {
        meta.status = enabled ? 'active' : 'disabled';
      }
    }
  }
}

interface ToolMetadata {
  allowedRoles: string[];
  status: 'active' | 'disabled' | 'deprecated';
  featureFlag?: string;
  addedVersion: string;
  deprecatedVersion?: string;
}

12.6 Testing Strategy for Tool Synchronization​

Automated tests ensure AI tools match actual API capabilities:

// backend/src/ai/__tests__/toolSync.test.ts

import { generateToolsFromAPI } from '../toolGenerator';
import { apiRoutes } from '../../routes';

describe('AI Tool Synchronization', () => {
  test('all AI-enabled routes have corresponding tools', () => {
    const tools = generateToolsFromAPI();
    const aiEnabledRoutes = apiRoutes.filter(r => r.aiEnabled);

    for (const route of aiEnabledRoutes) {
      const tool = tools.find(t => t.name === route.aiToolName);
      expect(tool).toBeDefined();
      expect(tool?.description).toBeTruthy();
    }
  });

  test('tool input schemas match API input schemas', () => {
    const tools = generateToolsFromAPI();

    for (const tool of tools) {
      const route = apiRoutes.find(r => r.aiToolName === tool.name);
      expect(tool.inputSchema).toMatchObject(
        zodToJsonSchema(route!.inputSchema)
      );

12.8 Summary: Adding a New Feature​

When adding a new feature to Hannibal that should be accessible via AI:

  1. Create the API route with aiEnabled: true and proper schema
  2. Add feature flag (optional) for gradual rollout
  3. Run tests to verify tool generation
  4. Update system prompt if needed (automatic for most cases)
  5. Deploy - AI automatically has access to new functionality

When removing a feature:

  1. Add to DEPRECATED_TOOLS list with migration message
  2. Set removal date (typically 30-60 days out)
  3. Disable via feature flag first (soft removal)
  4. Remove route after deprecation period
  5. Remove from DEPRECATED_TOOLS after full removal

13. Testing and Evaluation Strategy​

Testing an AI system with infinite possible inputs requires a multi-layered approach combining traditional software testing with AI-specific evaluation techniques.

13.1 Evaluation Datasets (Evals)​

Pre-built test cases with expected outcomes form the foundation of AI testing:
