Agora

Executable marketing in the age of AI — audience and message worlds, immutable runs, evidence with provenance, reviewable plans, and lineage you can defend for compliance and audit.

Background

In ancient Athens, the agora was the public square: debate, evidence, and decisions under scrutiny. This project applies that idea to software — a place where marketing work is not only creative but traceable, structured, and inspectable.

Agora is Castalia’s platform for that vision. It implements the architecture described for the Mag.AI-Marketing program: teaching and production share the same primitives, so what you learn matches what you ship.

The open repository holds schemas, examples, and validation today; services, SDKs, and integrations land here as they are built. The curriculum and degree framing live in Mag.AI-Marketing; this site is the technical home for the executable platform.

Platform primitives

Core concepts map directly to artifacts and APIs — from world models through to audit-ready lineage.

Technologies

What you can rely on in the repo and on the roadmap:

Artifacts
JSON Schema (draft 2020-12) for Plan and Evidence — stable $id URLs on main, with minimal JSON examples validated in CI.
Site
Astro static build, hosted on GitHub Pages from /docs (custom domain agora.castalia.institute).
Quality
check-jsonschema in GitHub Actions on every push and PR — schemas and examples stay in lockstep.
Infra & DNS
Optional AWS helpers and IAM policies under custodian/ (e.g. Route 53 CNAME for the public site). Documented in-repo.
Roadmap
Phased delivery: evidence store and MCP read paths, schema-valid planner output, gated tools, policy and audit for high-blast-radius actions — aligned with Mag.AI PLATFORM.md.
