Smart Summaries

Use AI completion endpoints to generate text summaries, extract structured insights, and create interactive streaming experiences directly in your app.

What You'll Build

A dashboard that:

Auto-generates executive summaries using _completion
Extracts structured insights using _object
Streams interactive chat responses using _chat
Handles defensive parsing for Haiku-class models

Prerequisites

Completed AI-Enhanced Dashboard
Understanding of async/await and streaming

Example Prompts for Claude Code

Add executive summary:

"Add an 'Executive Summary' panel that auto-generates a one-paragraph summary of the dashboard metrics using the /api/models/go_everyday/_completion endpoint. Generate it when data loads. Add a Regenerate button. Update informer.yaml to grant access to the completion endpoint."

Extract structured insights:

"Add a 'Key Insights' panel that calls the /api/models/go_everyday/_object endpoint to extract 3 key insights from the data. Return them as JSON with title and description fields. Include defensive parsing in case the AI response doesn't match the schema exactly."

Add interactive chat:

"Add an 'Ask About This Data' panel with a text input and chat message display. When the user sends a message, call the /api/models/go_everyday/_chat endpoint and stream the response token-by-token. Pass the dashboard metrics as context."

Improve the AI quality:

"Update the insights prompt to explicitly ask for specific analysis: trends, anomalies, and category comparisons."

"Add reinforcement to the _object schema by including a JSON example in the prompt itself."

AI Completion Endpoints

Informer provides three AI endpoints for direct integration:

Endpoint	Response	Tools	Use Case
`_chat`	SSE stream	Yes	Interactive AI with tool calling
`_completion`	SSE stream	No	Simple text generation
`_object`	JSON	No	Structured data extraction

All three use the go_everyday model slug.

Data Access Configuration

Update informer.yaml:

access:
  datasets:
    - admin:orders

  apis:
    - POST /api/models/go_everyday/_completion
    - POST /api/models/go_everyday/_object
    - POST /api/models/go_everyday/_chat

What Claude Will Generate

When you ask Claude to add AI completion features, it will implement the three endpoint patterns (_completion, _object, _chat) with proper streaming and error handling. Here's what the generated code looks like:

HTML for AI Panels

Claude will add panels for summaries, insights, and chat:

Defensive Parsing for `_object`

The _object endpoint uses a Haiku-class model which sometimes deviates from the schema. Common issues:

Array Fields as Strings

// Expected
{ insights: [{ title: "...", description: "..." }] }

// Sometimes returned
{ insights: "First insight. Second insight." }

Scattered Array Items

// Expected
{ insights: [{ title: "A" }, { title: "B" }] }

// Sometimes returned
{ insight_1: { title: "A" }, insight_2: { title: "B" } }

Defense Strategy

Check type - Is it an array? A string? An object?
Collect scattered keys - Look for item_1, item_2, etc.
Coerce when possible - Wrap strings in arrays
Fallback gracefully - Return sensible defaults for missing fields

Example normalizer:

function normalizeInsightsResponse(raw) {
    // Handle array field returned as string
    if (typeof raw.insights === 'string') {
        return {
            insights: [{
                title: 'Summary',
                description: raw.insights
            }]
        };
    }

    // Handle scattered fields
    if (!Array.isArray(raw.insights)) {
        const insights = [];
        for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
            const key = `insight_${i}`;
            if (raw[key]) {
                insights.push({
                    title: raw[key].title || `Insight ${i}`,
                    description: raw[key].description || String(raw[key])
                });
            }
        }
        if (insights.length > 0) return { insights };
    }

    // Ensure each item has required fields
    const normalized = (raw.insights || []).map((item, i) => ({
        title: item.title || `Insight ${i + 1}`,
        description: item.description || ''
    }));

    return { insights: normalized };
}

Reinforcing the Schema

Include an explicit JSON example in the prompt itself:

{
    messages: [{
        role: 'user',
        parts: [{
            type: 'text',
            text: `Analyze this data...\n\nReturn JSON with this exact structure:
{
  "insights": [
    { "title": "Insight Title", "description": "Brief explanation" }
  ]
}`
        }]
    }],
    schema: { /* formal schema */ }
}

This gives the model two signals (prompt + schema) and significantly reduces drift.

SSE Stream Format

Both _chat and _completion return Server-Sent Events (SSE) streams:

"Hello"
" world"
"!"

Each line is:

Prefix 0: (text chunk type)
JSON-encoded string
Newline

Accumulate chunks to build the full response:

const chunk = decoder.decode(value, { stream: true });
for (const line of chunk.split('\n')) {
    if (line.startsWith('0:')) {
        const text = JSON.parse(line.slice(2));
        fullText += text;
    }
}

Test Locally

npm run dev

Verify:

Executive summary generates on load
Insights extract correctly (check for schema drift)
Chat streams responses in real-time
Error handling works if API fails

Deploy

npm run deploy

Performance Considerations

Use _completion for simple text - Faster than _chat
Use _object for structured extraction - But always normalize the response
Debounce user input - Don't send a chat request on every keystroke
Cache results - Don't regenerate summaries on every page load
