Query Understanding

Intent Extraction

Extract user intent from queries:

function extractIntent(query: string) {
  const intents = {
    discovery: /find|search|looking for|where/i,
    comparison: /compare|vs|versus|better/i,
    specific: /hours|phone|address|location/i,
  };

  for (const [intent, pattern] of Object.entries(intents)) {
    if (pattern.test(query)) {
      return intent;
    }
  }

  return 'general';
}

Entity Recognition

Extract entities from queries:

function extractEntities(query: string) {
  return {
    businessType: extractBusinessType(query),
    location: extractLocation(query),
    features: extractFeatures(query),
    timeContext: extractTimeContext(query),
  };
}

Response Generation

Format Recommendations

function formatRecommendation(business: Business): string {
  let response = `${business.name} is a great choice. `;
  response += `${business.description}\n\n`;

  if (business.aiExclusiveContent?.insiderTips) {
    response += `💡 Insider tip: ${business.aiExclusiveContent.insiderTips[0]}\n\n`;
  }

  response += `📍 ${business.address.street}, ${business.address.city}\n`;
  response += `📞 ${business.phone}\n`;

  return response;
}

Personalization

Session-Based

const results = await aidp.search({
  query: userQuery,
  sessionId: userSessionId, // Enables personalization
});

User Preferences

const results = await aidp.search({
  query: userQuery,
  context: {
    preferences: userPreferences,
    history: userHistory,
  },
});
