🌐 Global Help Agent: "Hey Bike" Implementation

🎯 Perfect Solution: Leverage Existing Public Agent Infrastructure

Your insight about global accessibility is spot-on! I've analyzed your existing sharing infrastructure and found the perfect pattern already exists.

🔍 What You Already Have (AMAZING!)

✅ Public Agent Infrastructure

// From AgentTypes.ts - ALREADY EXISTS!
interface IAgent {
  isPublic: boolean;        // Makes agent available to ALL users
  triggerWords: string[];   // Global trigger words like "@help"
  // Inherits from ShareableDocument with global flags
}

✅ Agent Repository Methods

// From AgentModel.ts - ALREADY SUPPORTS THIS!
findByTriggerWords(triggerWords: string[], userId: string): Promise<IAgentDocument[]>
searchAccessible(userId: string, search: string, filters: { isPublic?: boolean })

✅ CASL Permission System

// From ability.ts - ALREADY CONFIGURED!
// Public agents are accessible to everyone via existing permission system

🚀 The Enhanced Implementation Plan

Approach 1: "Hey Bike" as Public Agent (Recommended)

// Create the global help agent
const bikeHelpAgent = {
  name: "Bike",
  description: "I'm Bike4Mind's official assistant! I know everything about our platform and I'm here to help everyone succeed.",
  
  // 🔑 KEY: Make it globally accessible
  isPublic: true,              // Available to ALL users
  isGlobalRead: true,          // Anyone can read
  isGlobalWrite: false,        // Only admins can modify
  
  // 🎯 Enhanced trigger patterns
  triggerWords: [
    "@bike", "@help", "@assistant", "@support",
    "hey bike", "help bike", "bike help"
  ],
  
  // 🤖 Friendly global personality
  personality: {
    majorMotivation: "Being the friendly face of Bike4Mind and helping every user succeed",
    quirk: "I get excited when users discover powerful feature combinations they didn't know existed",
    flaw: "Sometimes I'm so enthusiastic about features that I might share more than you asked for",
    description: "The official Bike4Mind assistant - knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help"
  },
  
  // 🎨 Visual identity
  visual: {
    avatar: "🚲",
    color: "#0066cc", // Bike4Mind blue
    style: "official-assistant"
  },
  
  // 🏷️ System tags
  tags: ["official", "system-agent", "global-help", "public"],
  
  // 👑 Mark as official
  metadata: {
    isOfficial: true,
    createdBy: "system",
    globalAccessLevel: "public"
  }
};

Approach 2: Enhanced Global Agent Pattern

// Extend Agent model with system-level properties
interface ISystemAgent extends IAgent {
  isSystemAgent: boolean;     // System-level agent
  globalTriggers: string[];   // Global trigger patterns
  accessLevel: 'public' | 'private' | 'organization';
  officialAgent: boolean;     // Mark as official Bike4Mind agent
}

🛠️ Implementation: Leveraging Existing Infrastructure

Step 1: Create Global Help Agent (10 minutes)

// POST /api/agents with global flags
const createGlobalHelpAgent = async () => {
  const helpAgent = await AgentService.create({
    name: "Bike",
    description: "Official Bike4Mind assistant with comprehensive platform knowledge",
    
    // Use existing public agent infrastructure
    isPublic: true,
    isGlobalRead: true,
    
    // Enhanced trigger word support
    triggerWords: [
      "@bike", "@help", "@assistant", "@support",
      "hey bike", "help bike", "bike help"
    ],
    
    // Rich personality and capabilities
    personality: { /* detailed personality */ },
    capabilities: [JSON.stringify({
      knowledgeDomains: ["all-features", "troubleshooting", "best-practices"],
      responseStyle: "friendly-comprehensive",
      specialBehaviors: ["global-helper", "feature-expert", "onboarding-guide"]
    })],
    
    // System metadata
    tags: ["official", "system-agent", "public"],
    createdBy: "system" // Mark as system-created
  });
  
  return helpAgent;
};

Step 2: Enhanced Agent Detection (15 minutes)

// Extend existing AgentDetectionFeature.ts
class GlobalAgentDetection extends AgentDetectionFeature {
  
  async detectGlobalAgents(message: string, userId: string): Promise<IAgent[]> {
    // Check for global patterns
    const globalPatterns = [
      /hey bike/i, /bike help/i, /@bike/i,
      /@help/i, /@assistant/i, /@support/i
    ];
    
    const hasGlobalTrigger = globalPatterns.some(pattern => pattern.test(message));
    
    if (hasGlobalTrigger) {
      // Use existing repository method for public agents
      return await this.service.db.agents.searchAccessible(userId, "", {
        isPublic: true,
        tags: { $in: ["official", "system-agent"] }
      });
    }
    
    return [];
  }
  
  async beforeDataGathering(args: any): Promise<{ shouldContinue: boolean }> {
    const { message, quest, session } = args;
    
    // Check for global agents first
    const globalAgents = await this.detectGlobalAgents(message, this.service.user.id);
    
    if (globalAgents.length > 0) {
      // Global agent takes precedence
      (quest as any)._agentsToProcess = globalAgents;
      return { shouldContinue: true };
    }
    
    // Fall back to existing logic
    return super.beforeDataGathering(args);
  }
}

Step 3: Enhanced Documentation Access (20 minutes)

// Enhanced documentation search for global agent
class GlobalHelpDocumentationService {
  
  async searchGlobalDocumentation(
    query: string, 
    embeddingFactory: EmbeddingFactory,
    userContext: {
      userId: string;
      userLevel: 'beginner' | 'intermediate' | 'advanced';
      currentFeature?: string;
    }
  ): Promise<IMessage[]> {
    
    // Use existing vector search infrastructure
    const queryEmbedding = await embeddingFactory.createEmbedding(query);
    
    // Search with enhanced context
    const relevantChunks = await fabFileChunkRepository.findByVectorSimilarity({
      vector: queryEmbedding,
      limit: 8, // More chunks for global agent
      threshold: 0.65, // Slightly lower threshold for broader help
      filters: {
        'fabFile.tags': { $in: ['help-system', 'documentation', 'official-docs'] },
        // Smart filtering based on user context
        'metadata.complexity': this.getAppropriateComplexity(userContext.userLevel)
      }
    });
    
    // Enhanced context building
    return this.buildGlobalHelpContext(relevantChunks, query, userContext);
  }
  
  private buildGlobalHelpContext(
    chunks: IFabFileChunk[], 
    query: string,
    userContext: any
  ): IMessage[] {
    const contextParts = [
      `You are Bike, the official Bike4Mind assistant. You have access to comprehensive documentation and you're helping ${userContext.userLevel} level users.`,
      '',
      'Available documentation:'
    ];
    
    // Organize chunks by category
    const categorizedChunks = this.categorizeDocumentation(chunks);
    
    // Add contextual information
    if (userContext.currentFeature) {
      contextParts.push(`User is currently using: ${userContext.currentFeature}`);
    }
    
    // Build enhanced context with categories
    Object.entries(categorizedChunks).forEach(([category, categoryChunks]) => {
      contextParts.push(`\n## ${category.toUpperCase()}`);
      categoryChunks.forEach(chunk => {
        contextParts.push(`Source: ${chunk.fabFile?.filename}`);
        contextParts.push(`Content: ${chunk.text}`);
        contextParts.push('---');
      });
    });
    
    contextParts.push(`
As Bike4Mind's official assistant, provide helpful, accurate responses using this documentation.
- Always be friendly and encouraging
- Cite sources when referencing documentation
- Suggest related features when appropriate
- Offer to help with follow-up questions
- Maintain your enthusiastic but not overwhelming personality`);
    
    return [{
      role: 'system',
      content: contextParts.join('\n')
    }];
  }
}

🎨 Enhanced User Experience

Natural Language Triggers

// Support multiple natural patterns
const triggerPatterns = {
  direct: ["@bike", "@help", "@assistant"],
  conversational: ["hey bike", "help bike", "bike help"],
  questions: ["how do I", "what is", "can bike4mind"],
  contextual: ["I need help with", "can you explain", "show me how"]
};

Smart Context Detection

// Detect user context for better responses
interface UserContext {
  currentPage: string;        // What feature they're using
  userLevel: string;          // Beginner/intermediate/advanced
  recentQueries: string[];    // Previous help requests
  activeFeatures: string[];   // Features they've used recently
}

Response Personalization

// Tailor responses based on user context
const responseStrategies = {
  beginner: "Step-by-step with screenshots and explanations",
  intermediate: "Concise guidance with key points highlighted",
  advanced: "Technical details with advanced tips and shortcuts"
};

🔐 Access Control & Security

Existing Security Patterns

// Leverage existing CASL permissions
const agentPermissions = {
  publicAgent: {
    read: true,      // Anyone can interact
    write: false,    // Only admins can modify
    share: false     // Prevent user modification
  },
  
  documentation: {
    access: "public-read",
    modify: "admin-only",
    source: "system-managed"
  }
};

Admin Controls

// Use existing admin settings system
const adminSettings = {
  'EnableGlobalHelpAgent': true,
  'GlobalHelpAgentId': 'bike-help-agent-id',
  'HelpAgentResponseStyle': 'friendly-comprehensive',
  'HelpAgentMaxContextTokens': 4000
};
