Rootstory Evidence Agent is live

I built and deployed the first complete evidence-audit workflow for Rootstory.

The agent can now:

  • Audit an entire family tree for unsupported people and missing facts
  • Plan and prioritize independent research tasks
  • Research with Gemini 3.5 Flash and Google Search grounding
  • Preserve progress asynchronously with Cloud Tasks and Firestore
  • Verify sources before creating repair proposals
  • Explain the exact person and field each proposal affects
  • Let the owner review discoveries gradually and apply only selected evidence
  • Restore unfinished audits across browser sessions

The backend is running on Cloud Run, while Rootstory provides the human review experience through Firebase Hosting.

An important design boundary: Gemini researches and proposes, but it cannot directly modify the family tree. The verifier gates the evidence, the family decides, and only approved fields are applied.

Next: finishing the demo video and submission materials for the All Things Agentic Hackathon.
