Added imports: `SignalModule`, `DriversModule` - Enables dependency injection of required services **CopilotService** (`backend/src/copilot/copilot.service.ts`): - Added service injections: - `MessagesService` (from SignalModule) - `ScheduleExportService` (from DriversModule) - Added 11 new tool definitions to the `tools` array - Added 11 new case statements in `executeTool()` switch - Implemented 11 new private methods ### Key Implementation Patterns 1. **Name-Based Lookups**: All tools support searching by name (not just ID) - Uses case-insensitive partial matching - Provides helpful error messages with available options if not found - Returns multiple matches if ambiguous (asks user to be more specific) 2. **VIP Name Resolution**: Events store `vipIds` array - Tools fetch VIP names in bulk for efficiency - Creates a Map for O(1) lookup - Returns `vipNames` array alongside event data 3. **Error Handling**: - All tools return `ToolResult` with `success` boolean - Includes helpful error messages - Lists available options when entity not found 4. **Date Handling**: - Supports both ISO format and YYYY-MM-DD strings - Defaults to "today" where appropriate - Proper timezone handling with setHours(0,0,0,0) 5. **Conflict Detection**: - Uses Prisma OR queries for time overlap detection - Checks: event starts during range, ends during range, or spans entire range - Excludes CANCELLED events from conflict checks ### System Prompt Updates Updated `buildSystemPrompt()` to include new capabilities: - Signal messaging integration - Schedule distribution - Availability checking - Vehicle suggestions - Schedule auditing - Workload analysis Added usage guidelines for: - When to use each new tool - Message sending best practices - Bulk operations --- ## Testing Recommendations ### Unit Testing - Test name-based lookups with partial matches - Test date parsing and timezone handling - Test conflict detection logic - Test VIP name resolution ### Integration Testing - Test Signal message sending (requires linked Signal account) - Test schedule export and delivery - Test driver/vehicle availability checks - Test workload calculations ### End-to-End Testing 1. Find available drivers for a time slot 2. Assign driver to event 3. Send notification via Signal 4. Get daily manifest 5. Send schedule PDF/ICS --- ## Usage Examples ### Finding Available Drivers ```typescript // AI Copilot can now respond to: "Who's available tomorrow from 2pm to 5pm?" "Find drivers in the Office of Development who are free this afternoon" ``` ### Sending Driver Notifications ```typescript // AI Copilot can now respond to: "Send a message to John Smith about the schedule change" "Notify all drivers about tomorrow's early start" ``` ### Bulk Schedule Distribution ```typescript // AI Copilot can now respond to: "Send tomorrow's schedules to all drivers" "Send Monday's schedule to John Smith and Jane Doe" ``` ### Schedule Auditing ```typescript // AI Copilot can now respond to: "Check next week's schedule for problems" "Find events that don't have drivers assigned" "Are there any VIP conflicts this week?" ``` ### Workload Analysis ```typescript // AI Copilot can now respond to: "Show me driver workload for this month" "Who's working the most hours this week?" "What's the utilization rate for all drivers?" ``` --- ## Files Modified 1. **G:\VIP_Board\vip-coordinator\backend\src\copilot\copilot.module.ts** - Added SignalModule and DriversModule imports 2. **G:\VIP_Board\vip-coordinator\backend\src\copilot\copilot.service.ts** - Added MessagesService and ScheduleExportService imports - Updated constructor with service injections - Added 11 new tool definitions - Added 11 new case statements in executeTool() - Implemented 11 new private methods (~800 lines of code) - Updated system prompt with new capabilities --- ## Build Status ✅ TypeScript compilation successful ✅ All imports resolved ✅ No type errors ✅ All new tools integrated with existing patterns --- ## Next Steps (Optional Enhancements) 1. **Add more filtering options**: - Filter drivers by shift availability - Filter vehicles by maintenance status 2. **Add analytics**: - Driver performance metrics - Vehicle utilization trends - VIP visit patterns 3. **Add notifications**: - Automatic reminders before events - Conflict alerts - Capacity warnings 4. **Add batch operations**: - Bulk driver assignment - Mass rescheduling - Batch conflict resolution --- ## Notes - All tools follow existing code patterns from the CopilotService - Integration with Signal requires SIGNAL_CLI_PATH and linked phone number - Schedule exports (PDF/ICS) use existing ScheduleExportService - All database queries use soft delete filtering (`deletedAt: null`) - Conflict detection excludes CANCELLED events - VIP names are resolved in bulk for performance --- **Implementation Complete** ✅ All 11 tools are now available to the AI Copilot and ready for use in the VIP Coordinator application.
