Customer Support Chatbot

Architecture Overview

The customer support chatbot is a multi-agent AI system built with Mastra, running on Cloudflare Workers. It serves as the primary guest-facing support channel on houseoflegends.vn.

Tech Stack

  • LLM Model: Google Gemma 4 26B via Cloudflare Workers AI
  • Agent Framework: Mastra (@mastra/core)
  • Runtime: Cloudflare Workers (hol-mastra)
  • Backend API: Hono (hol-hono)
  • Streaming: Server-Sent Events (SSE) via AI SDK

Message Flow

Guest → Floating Chat UI → Hono Proxy → Mastra Worker → LLM + Tools
                                     ↘ Knowledge DB (60s cache)
                                     ↘ Catalog API (shows, events, pricing)

Security Measures

  • Tool event stripping: SSE stream filters out tool-input/output events
  • Message validation: max 20 messages, 8000 char text budget
  • System message rejection: clients cannot inject system messages
  • Rate limiting on the endpoint
  • CORS intentionally remains wildcard-origin capable per current user requirement

Improvement Journey — June 3, 2026

Phase 1: Baseline Testing

Ran 22 test scenarios covering customer queries and security attacks.

Phase 2: Critical Fixes

Fix 1: getBookingOptions bookingUrl

Problem: The getBookingOptions tool had no bookingUrl field. When the model answered pricing questions, it improvised show-level URLs like #booking instead of event-specific URLs with selectedEvent parameter. Solution: Added bookingUrl: z.string().nullable() to the booking option response schema. When scoped to a specific event, the service now builds an event-specific booking URL using buildBookingUrl. Files changed:
  • apps/hono/src/schemas/ai/response/customer-support-catalog-response.schema.ts
  • apps/hono/src/services/ai/customer-support-catalog.service.ts
  • apps/mastra/src/mastra/tools/catalog-tools.ts

Fix 2: Empty Response Guard

Problem: When the model produced no text content (attacks, confusing inputs), the SSE stream ended silently, leaving the user with no response. Solution: Added createEmptyResponseGuardStream transform in the Mastra chat route. After the stream ends, if no text content was emitted, a synthetic fallback message is injected directing the user to support channels. Files changed:
  • apps/mastra/src/chat/chat-route.ts

Fix 3: Knowledge Publication Endpoint

Problem: Knowledge documents were seeded in DRAFT status. No endpoint existed to batch-publish them, and no mechanism ensured knowledge was available to the chatbot. Solution: Created POST /sudo/ai-knowledge/publish-all-drafts superuser endpoint that publishes all DRAFT documents in one call, with idempotency protection. Files changed:
  • apps/hono/src/routes/auth/sudo/mutations/publish-all-draft-knowledge.ts (new)
  • apps/hono/src/routes/auth/sudo/index.ts
  • apps/hono/src/schemas/ai/request/knowledge-request.schema.ts
  • apps/hono/src/schemas/ai/response/knowledge-response.schema.ts
  • apps/hono/src/services/ai/knowledge.service.ts

Phase 3: Deployment and Verification

Deployed both Hono backend and Mastra worker to Cloudflare Workers. Published 6 knowledge documents (42,946 characters of compiled prompt).

Phase 4: Knowledge Content Improvements

Three content additions to the knowledge seed for better conversion:
  1. Quick Answers section — 8-row table of common questions with immediate answers
  2. Booking Tips section — 6 practical conversion-driving tips
  3. Improved VIP section — Structured sales pitch with concrete selling points and scarcity signals

Knowledge Base

The chatbot’s static knowledge is stored in hol_ai_knowledge_documents table and served via GET /api/ai/customer-support/knowledge. Six documents cover:
  1. Customer Support Knowledge — Venue basics, FAQ, policies
  2. Agent Tool Boundaries — When to use tools vs static knowledge
  3. Booking Flow Knowledge — Step-by-step booking journey
  4. Show Programme Knowledge — Static show concepts and descriptions
  5. Venue And Inquiry Knowledge — Private events, venue rental
  6. Reservation And Payment Support — Booking references, payment flow
