+## Overview
+
+GenXAI is an advanced agentic AI framework designed to surpass existing solutions (CrewAI, AutoGen, BeeAI) while incorporating graph-based agent orchestration similar to LangGraph. The framework is built with extensibility in mind, supporting both code-based and no-code interfaces.
+
+### Design Goals
+
+- **Superior Capabilities**: More features than existing frameworks
+- **Graph-Based Orchestration**: Complex agent relationships and workflows
+- **No-Code Support**: Visual studio for non-technical users
+- **Enterprise-Ready**: Scalable, observable, and secure
+- **Extensible**: Plugin architecture for easy customization
+
+---
+
+## Core Architecture Principles
+
+Following Google's design philosophy:
+
+1. **Separation of Concerns**: Clear boundaries between layers
+2. **Interface-Driven Design**: Well-defined interfaces for all components
+3. **Plugin Architecture**: Extensible without core modifications
+4. **Configuration as Code**: YAML/JSON for no-code, Python/TypeScript for code
+5. **Event-Driven**: Asynchronous, scalable, and reactive
+6. **Cloud-Native**: Containerized, distributed, and observable

+## Design Patterns
+
+### 1. Plugin Pattern
+All major components (tools, memory stores, LLM providers) use plugin architecture for extensibility.
+
+### 2. Factory Pattern
+Agents, tools, and graphs are created through factories for consistency.
+
+### 3. Observer Pattern
+Event-driven communication using pub/sub for loose coupling.
+
+### 4. Strategy Pattern
+Interchangeable algorithms for tool selection, memory retrieval, etc.
+
+### 5. Decorator Pattern
+Guardrails, logging, and monitoring wrap core functionality.
