📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to debug and enhance various components of an AI-powered document drafting workflow, focusing on OpenAI API interactions, JSON parsing, state management, and AI output tracking.

Key Activities

  • Debugged OpenAI API Call Failure: Identified and fixed issues related to function arguments and response handling.
  • Fixed JSON Parsing in summarize_research Function: Resolved parsing errors and improved error handling and logging.
  • Implemented Tools for Efficient Workflow Tracking: Explored tools like pandas, rich, httpx, pdb, and json for better debugging and state tracking.
  • Designed a State Class for Workflow Management: Planned and implemented a class to track workflow states, enhancing debugging capabilities.
  • Enhanced BookDraftingState: Added debugging utilities and logging features.
  • Rehydrated AddableValuesDict: Converted dictionary back to BookDraftingState, ensuring Pydantic compatibility.
  • Refactored ChunkHandler: Improved AI output tracking and debugging.
  • Fixed expand_concept() Function: Addressed missing argument issues and updated error handling.
  • Managed Chunk Lineage in LangGraph: Implemented tracking of chunk origins and relationships.

Achievements

  • Enhanced debugging and logging capabilities across the workflow.
  • Improved error handling and state management.
  • Refactored components for better AI output tracking.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing of the enhanced components in a production environment to ensure stability and performance.
