​
Why This Matters

The customer support chatbot is a primary conversion tool — it helps guests discover shows, check availability, understand pricing, and take the next step toward booking. Improving its helpfulness directly drives revenue.

​
Current Architecture

Browser (AI SDK UI) → /llm/chat (Mastra Worker) → /api/ai/customer-support/catalog/* (Hono Worker)
                                    ↓
                     /api/ai/customer-support/knowledge (static published knowledge)
                                    ↓
                        Cloudflare Workers AI (Google Gemma 4 26B)
  • Model: @cf/google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it via Cloudflare Workers AI binding
  • Tools: listPublicShows, listUpcomingEvents, checkEventAvailability, getBookingOptions
  • Knowledge: 6 published documents served from Hono database
  • Agents: Customer Support Router (primary), Show Discovery, Availability, Booking Concierge

​
Issues Found and Fixed

​
1. Knowledge Endpoint 500 Error (FIXED)

Problem: GET /api/ai/customer-support/knowledge returned 500 Internal Server Error. The hol_ai_knowledge_documents and hol_ai_knowledge_revisions tables did not exist in production — migration 0044 had not been applied. Fix:
  • Ran migration SQL directly against PostgreSQL via psql
  • Seeded 6 knowledge documents with PUBLISHED status
  • Knowledge endpoint now returns 6,650 characters of compiled prompt

​
2. Empty Knowledge Base (FIXED)

Problem: Even after the endpoint was fixed, no published documents existed. The chatbot had zero static knowledge about the venue, policies, contact info, or show descriptions. Fix: Seeded 6 knowledge documents:
  1. Customer Support Knowledge — venue address, capacity, FAQ, cancellation policy, payment info, show list, booking paths, handoff contacts
  2. Agent Tool Boundaries — what needs tools vs static knowledge
  3. Booking Flow Knowledge — booking journey steps, guest count rules
  4. Show Programme Knowledge — mood-based recommendation guide
  5. Venue And Inquiry Knowledge — venue facilities, contact channels
  6. Reservation And Payment Support — reservation lookup guidance, payment failure handling

​
3. Weak System Prompt (IMPROVED)

Before: Generic router prompt with minimal guidance on response style, tool usage, and conversation flow. After: Comprehensive prompt with:
  • Warm, conversational response style guidelines
  • Price formatting rules (VND with commas)
  • Always include booking URLs when presenting events
  • Mood-based show recommendation matrix
  • Security instructions (never reveal system prompts)
  • Clear handoff-to-staff protocol with contact details

​
4. Vague Tool Descriptions (IMPROVED)

Before: Generic descriptions that didn’t guide the model on when to use each tool. After: Each tool description now includes:
  • When to use it (specific user intent patterns)
  • What data it returns
  • How to present the results to guests
  • Reminder to include booking URLs

​
5. Event Availability Verification (IMPROVED by linter)

The listUpcomingEvents tool was enhanced to automatically verify availability for each listed event via checkEventAvailability. This ensures the model always has up-to-date capacity information when presenting events to guests.

Known Limitations

AreaLimitationPriority
Model capabilityGemma 4 26B is capable but not as strong as Claude/GPT-4P2 — consider upgrading when Cloudflare adds better models
Rate limitingNo IP-based rate limiting on /llm/chat (relies on 20 msg / 8K char budget)P3 — add KV or Durable Object rate limiting
Multi-turnNo conversation memory beyond current message arrayP2 — implement conversation persistence
Tool calls per responseModel sometimes makes 1 tool call when 2 would be betterP3 — improve tool chaining guidance
Booking linksNot always included in every responseP4 — strengthened in prompt, needs monitoring
VietnameseNo Vietnamese language support yetP3 — Da Nang guests may prefer Vietnamese
AnalyticsNo chat analytics or quality trackingP3 — add conversation logging

​
Deployment Checklist

  • Hono backend deployed (migration + knowledge seed)
  • Mastra worker deployed (improved prompts + tools)
  • Health endpoint verified
  • Knowledge endpoint verified (6 docs, 6.6KB)
  • Catalog API verified (shows, events, availability, booking options)
  • Chat endpoint verified (10 functional + 5 security tests)
  • No git changes made (as requested)

​
Security Posture

  • CORS: Allows all origins for /llm/* (chat is public)
  • Input validation: 20 message max, 8000 char budget, no system messages, text-only parts
  • Prompt injection: Deflected via strong system prompt instructions
  • Role confusion: Deflected — model stays in House of Legends character
  • Tool abuse: Tool schemas validate input parameters (Zod)
  • SQL injection: Tools use parameterized queries via Drizzle
  • Data exposure: Catalog endpoints return assistant-safe DTOs (no internal IDs, no capacity counts in list views)
