Enhanced FAQ Handler with Web Search for Organizational Queries

#97

Overview

This implementation fulfills the feature request for an enhanced FAQ Handler that leverages web search to answer general, high-level questions about the Devr.AI organization. The system provides dynamic, up-to-date information by searching official sources and synthesizing comprehensive responses.

Features Implemented

🌟 Core Capabilities

  1. Intelligent Query Classification: Automatically detects whether a question is about organizational information or technical support
  2. Dynamic Web Search: Performs targeted web searches for organizational queries using official sources
  3. LLM-Enhanced Synthesis: Uses AI to synthesize search results into comprehensive, accurate answers
  4. Source Attribution: Provides clear citations and links to official sources
  5. Fallback Mechanisms: Maintains backward compatibility with existing static FAQ responses

🔍 Organizational Query Detection

The system recognizes queries such as:

  • "What is Devr.AI all about?"
  • "What projects does this organization work on?"
  • "What are the main goals of Devr.AI?"
  • "What platforms does Devr.AI support?"
  • "How does this organization work?"

🎯 Technical Query Support

Maintains support for existing technical FAQs:

  • "How do I contribute?"
  • "How do I report a bug?"
  • "How to get started?"
  • "What is LangGraph?"

Architecture

Components Created

  1. Enhanced FAQ Tool (enhanced_faq_tool.py)

    • Core logic for query classification and web search
    • Pattern-based organizational query detection
    • Targeted search query generation
    • Response synthesis and source management
  2. Organizational FAQ Handler (organizational_faq.py)

    • Specialized handler for organizational queries
    • LLM-powered response synthesis
    • Advanced formatting and source attribution
  3. Enhanced Prompts (organizational_faq_prompt.py)

    • Query classification prompts
    • Search query generation prompts
    • Response synthesis prompts
    • Fallback response prompts
  4. Updated Components

    • Modified existing faq_tool.py to use enhanced functionality
    • Updated faq.py handler with enhanced response handling
    • Enhanced ReAct supervisor prompt for better routing

Workflow

Step 1: Query Reception

User asks a question → FAQ Handler receives the query

Step 2: Query Classification

# Example: "What projects does Devr.AI work on?"
is_organizational = _is_organizational_query(question)
# Returns: True

Step 3: Search Query Generation

search_queries = [
    "Devr.AI open source projects",
    "Devr.AI GitHub repositories", 
    "Devr.AI projects developer relations"
]

Step 4: Web Search Execution

  • Performs targeted searches using Tavily Search API
  • Focuses on official sources (website, GitHub, documentation)
  • Deduplicates results by URL

Step 5: Response Synthesis

  • Uses LLM to synthesize search results
  • Maintains accuracy by only using information from search results
  • Formats response with proper structure and citations

Step 6: Response Delivery

{
  "status": "success",
  "answer": "Devr.AI primarily focuses on creating tools for developer relations...",
  "sources": [
    {"title": "Devr.AI - Official Website", "url": "https://devr.ai/projects"},
    {"title": "Devr.AI on GitHub", "url": "https://github.com/AOSSIE-Org/Devr.AI"}
  ],
  "type": "organizational_faq"
}

Integration Points

ReAct Supervisor Integration

The ReAct supervisor now intelligently routes organizational queries to the FAQ handler:

# Enhanced decision logic:
# - Organizational questions → faq_handler
# - Technical questions → faq_handler  
# - External research → web_search
# - GitHub operations → github_toolkit

Backward Compatibility

  • Existing technical FAQ responses preserved
  • Legacy API methods maintained
  • Graceful fallback to static responses if web search fails

32-36: Simplify message extraction logic.

The current logic for extracting the latest message has redundant conditions and could be more robust.

-    latest_message = ""
-    if state.messages:
-        latest_message = state.messages[-1].get("content", "")
-    elif state.context.get("original_message"):
-        latest_message = state.context["original_message"]

50-51: Consider adding validation for JSON format.

The search query generation prompt expects JSON format but doesn't include error handling instructions for malformed responses.

 Format your response as a JSON list of strings:

+["query1", "query2", "query3"]
+
+Important: Ensure the response is valid JSON. If uncertain, provide exactly 2-3 queries in the specified format.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Consider implementing LLM-based synthesis as mentioned in PR objectives.

The current implementation concatenates search result snippets, which may produce disjointed responses. According to the PR objectives, the system should use "LLM enhanced synthesis of search results into comprehensive answers."

The current simple concatenation approach might work for MVP, but for better coherence, consider:

  1. Passing search results to an LLM for synthesis
  2. Using a prompt template to guide the LLM in creating coherent responses
  3. Integrating with the organizational FAQ handler that may already have LLM synthesis

This would align with the architectural design mentioned in the PR summary.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In backend/app/agents/devrel/tools/enhanced_faq_tool.py around lines 144 to 169,
the current method concatenates search result snippets directly, which can lead
to disjointed answers. To fix this, replace the concatenation logic by passing
the top search results to an LLM for synthesis using a prompt template that
guides the LLM to generate a coherent, comprehensive response. Integrate this
with the existing organizational FAQ handler's LLM synthesis functionality to
align with the PR objectives and architectural design.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Add input validation for search results.

The function should validate the structure of search results to prevent runtime errors.

 def _format_search_results_for_llm(search_results: List[Dict[str, Any]]) -> str:
     """Format search results for LLM synthesis"""
     if not search_results:
         return "No search results available."
+    
+    if not isinstance(search_results, list):
+        logger.warning("Search results is not a list, returning empty message")
+        return "No search results available."

     formatted_parts = []
     for i, result in enumerate(search_results, 1):
+        if not isinstance(result, dict):
+            logger.warning(f"Invalid search result format at index {i-1}")
+            continue
+            
         title = result.get('title', 'No title')
         url = result.get('url', 'No URL')
         content = result.get('content', 'No content available')

In backend/app/agents/devrel/nodes/handlers/organizational_faq.py around lines
85 to 104, the function _format_search_results_for_llm lacks input validation
for the search_results parameter. Add validation to ensure search_results is a
list of dictionaries and each dictionary contains the expected keys ('title',
'url', 'content') with appropriate types. If validation fails, handle it
gracefully by either returning a default message or raising a clear error to
prevent runtime exceptions.

Please align out in a bit of generalized way with minimal possible nodes and a thinking agent. Not just a flow that aligns thinking. I'll try documenting a bit on how this is needed. Will update in Notion itself. And please make sure to attach a mermaid diagram for the flow.

I don't think there is any need for segregation of FAQ types as long as they get answered, right? I mean the node itself should be able to determine out on it's own whether this search result is enough for answering on not?

not very much sure on this too. This seems very much like aligning a separate function for a separate response, but I think the LLM can directly align the response.

These are very much aligned with DevR. We want a generalized handler as this product will be used by an organization that will have multiple repos and not just DevR.

any clarifications on this? Why DevR need to be in each query?

# Prompts for organizational FAQ handling and synthesis

These much of prompts are very much overhead. As of now, one query takes at max 4-5 calls for the model (with proper thinking, tool usage, results alignment, and whole workflow), and including all these would be very heavy on the API usage part. The interaction can go back and forth between two nodes (cycle) and does not need to be aligned in a flow-based way.

This is not needed. Let the model handle the whole of the response part. This hard coding won't work with a system in production.

No need to generate questions in this way. Just a thinking node to align the best out of the whole prompt is needed. Rest this thinking node will be forming a cycle with nodes handling the response/below ones, so it'll just align queries on its own.

Seems very much hard-coded to DevR, this fallback isn't needed. Better to let the user know the service is down.

closing this PR @Aditya30ag as commits are not well aligned with the requirements and this requires heavy changes. It would be better for you to start from scratch after a brief discussion with me and with contributors who prefer to work on the issue.
