QUOTE OF THE DAY

SHIPPED CODE

DONE

ReAct Agent Architecture

Multi-step ReAct loop in app/routes/agent.py. LLM decides which tools to call, server executes, loops until answer (max 6 steps). Strict JSON output prompting prevents DeepSeek from hallucinating tool results. _normalize_tool_call() handles format variants (function/name/action, params/args/parameters). PARAM_ALIASES maps common LLM parameter mismatches.
life-dashboard · agent
DONE

39 Agent Tools

app/agent_tools.py: 12 data, 8 social, 9 reading, 5 action, 5 knowledge tools. All direct DB queries -- replaced 5 broken HTTP proxies during tool audit. Tools organized by cognitive intent (immediate/vertical/horizontal), not API surface.
life-dashboard · agent
DONE

Social Intelligence Page

New /social page: 11-section analytics dashboard (posting frequency, engagement trends, audience growth, top posts, content themes, optimal times, hashtag performance, network analysis). 22 new threads-analysis proxy endpoints, bringing total to 64.
life-dashboard · social
DONE

Prefetch Engine

Activates on first chat message, not page load -- zero cost until user engages. Preloads today stats, current reading, recent highlights. Paragraph observer on reading page refreshes LoB connections every 15s. Fixed observer leak on page navigation.
life-dashboard · performance

TESTS & QUALITY

DONE

Tool Audit -- 5 Broken Tools Fixed

5 agent tools silently returned empty results or 404s because they proxied through broken HTTP endpoints. Replaced all with direct asyncpg queries. Every tool now returns real data.
life-dashboard · agent
DONE

3-Agent Code Review

Architecture agent: extracted _safe_payload(), moved imports. Performance agent: fixed IntersectionObserver leak, sanitized prefetch params, capped context at 1500 chars. Security agent: parameter validation, injection prevention. Also added audiomarks column to daily_summary materialized view.
life-dashboard · quality
DONE

Navigation Recovery

Pending agent requests survive page changes. Cross-page conversation memory via sessionStorage + PostgreSQL logging. Bot remembers what you were discussing when navigating between pages.
life-dashboard · ux

LEARNINGS

Three Cognitive Axes

User questions map to three cost levels: Immediate (page context, free), Vertical (one tool call into one data source, fast), Horizontal (multi-tool synthesis across sources, expensive). Design tools around this progression, not your API surface. Users naturally escalate from immediate to horizontal.
technical · agent-design

LLMs Don't Follow Your Schema

DeepSeek V4 Flash uses function/name/action interchangeably for tool names, params/args/parameters for arguments, and title/book_title/search for the same parameter. You need a normalization layer and alias map. Strict JSON prompting drops hallucinated tool results from 40% to under 5%.
technical · llm

Prefetch on Engagement, Not Load

Loading agent data on page load wastes resources -- most users never open the chat. Trigger prefetch on first message. Zero cost until engagement. The reading companion paragraph observer (15s refresh) only runs when the bot panel is open.
technical · performance

Conversation Logs as Training Data

Every agent conversation logged as agent_chat events in PostgreSQL: question, answer, tools used, reading passage snapshot. Gets embedded by the same background worker. The fine-tuning dataset builds itself through normal usage. 73K events and growing.

DOCS & STRATEGY

DONE

Blackboard: ReAct Agent Architecture

Technical post covering ReAct pattern, progressive disclosure across three cognitive axes, tool call normalization for unreliable LLMs, prefetch engine design, and the enterprise architecture transfer. Published at /chalk/react-agent-architecture-personal-data.

DONE

Whiteboard: Agent Architecture Session

Dev log covering the full arc: broken selector to research to full agent architecture to reading companion to prefetch engine. 18 commits, 39 tools, Social Intelligence page. Published at /docs/wei-bot-agent-architecture-session.
bythewei.dev · whiteboard

NEXT

Fine-Tune on Life-Dashboard Dataset

73K+ events as training corpus. Agent conversation logs (question + tools + answer + passage context) are the richest subset. Could fine-tune a small LLM specifically for personal data queries, replacing DeepSeek V4 Flash.
life-dashboard · next session

Social Page Panel Refinement

Some social analytics panels need data format tweaking. Engagement trend charts, audience growth visualization, and network analysis all have raw data but need frontend polish.
life-dashboard · next session

Enterprise Agent Product Exploration

The ReAct architecture transfers directly to enterprise: swap data layer, keep the loop. Personal dashboard agent is structurally identical to Sprinklr/Intercom Fin/GitHub Copilot agents. Worth exploring as a product.

The Reading Companion

The most interesting thing that shipped wasn't the agent loop -- it was the reading companion. The bot sees a 5-paragraph window around what you're actively hearing, snapshots passages into conversation history, and can search 8,600 books for thematic connections in real time. Ask 'what does this remind you of?' while listening to God Emperor of Dune, and it finds parallels across your entire library. The personal data agent is most powerful when it's aware of what you're doing right now, not just what you've done before.
