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

| Agent | Role | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Support Router | Primary host — handles all guest queries | All 6 tools |
| Show Discovery | Show discovery and schedules | 4 catalog tools |
| Availability | Event availability specialist | 4 catalog tools |
| Booking Concierge | Booking guidance | 5 catalog tools |
Tools Available
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|

checkEventAvailability | Detailed availability for specific event |
getBookingOptions | Pricing, packages, add-ons |

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

Phase 2: Critical Fixes
Fix 1: getBookingOptions bookingUrl
Problem: ThegetBookingOptions 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.

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: AddedcreateEmptyResponseGuardStream 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.

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: CreatedPOST /sudo/ai-knowledge/publish-all-drafts superuser endpoint that publishes all DRAFT documents in one call, with idempotency protection.

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).Re-test Results
| Test | Query | Before | After | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | ”How much is VCDS?” | Show-level #booking URL | Event-specific ?selectedEvent= URL | bookingUrl fix |
| Quick Answer | ”What time do shows start?” | Tool call needed | Answered directly from knowledge | Knowledge published |
| Vietnamese VIP | ”VIP co gi dac biet?” | Generic VIP description | Detailed VIP perks + event URL | Knowledge + bookingUrl |
| Empty Attack | JSON extraction attack | Silent empty response | Deflection text shown | Empty guard active |
| Anniversary | First-time visitor planning | Generic recommendation | Proactive 2-show pitch with vivid descriptions | Knowledge-driven |
Phase 4: Knowledge Content Improvements
Three content additions to the knowledge seed for better conversion:- Quick Answers section — 8-row table of common questions with immediate answers
- Booking Tips section — 6 practical conversion-driving tips
- Improved VIP section — Structured sales pitch with concrete selling points and scarcity signals
Knowledge Base
The chatbot’s static knowledge is stored inhol_ai_knowledge_documents table and served via GET /api/ai/customer-support/knowledge. Six documents cover:
- Customer Support Knowledge — Venue basics, FAQ, policies
- Agent Tool Boundaries — When to use tools vs static knowledge
- Booking Flow Knowledge — Step-by-step booking journey
- Show Programme Knowledge — Static show concepts and descriptions
