Usage

Basic Initialization

// Initialize AI controller
let ai_controller = AIMasterController::initialize(config).await?;

// Register subsystems
ai_controller.register_subsystem(
    "query_optimizer",
    Box::new(IntelligentQueryOptimizer::new(&config, knowledge_base.clone()).await?)

let ai_config = AIConfig::default();
let ai_controller = AIMasterController::initialize(ai_config).await?;

// Start AI control loop
tokio::spawn(async move {
    ai_controller.run_control_loop().await?;
