# Proactive System - LLM Integration

This document describes the LLM integration for the NodeBench Proactive Intelligence System's Email Draft Generator.

## Overview

The Email Draft Generator now uses **LLM-powered generation** instead of static templates, providing contextual, professional email responses that understand the original email's content and intent.

## FREE-FIRST Strategy

Following NodeBench's FREE-FIRST model selection strategy, the draft generator:

1. **Defaults to FREE models** - Uses `devstral-2-free` (100% pass rate, 70s avg, $0 cost)
2. **Supports quality upgrades** - Optional model override for better results
3. **Automatic fallback** - Falls back to templates if LLM fails

### Model Priority

```typescript
// Default (FREE)
devstral-2-free        // Mistral Devstral 2 - 100% pass rate, 70s avg, FREE

// Quality Alternatives (Paid - optional override)
claude-sonnet-4.5      // Best quality, $1/M input
gpt-5.2                // OpenAI flagship, $5/M input
gemini-3-pro           // Google flagship, $1.25/M input
gemini-3-flash         // Fast + cheap, $0.50/M input
```

## Implementation

### Updated Function Signature

```typescript
generateEmailDraft({
  opportunityId: v.id("opportunities"),
  userId: v.id("users"),
  actionMode: v.union(v.literal("suggest"), v.literal("draft")),
  model: v.optional(v.string()), // NEW: Optional model override
})
```

### LLM Generation Flow

```typescript
async function generateDraftContent(
  originalEmail: any,
  config: any,
  ctx: any,
  modelOverride?: string
): Promise<{ subject: string; body: string }> {
  // 1. Build context-aware prompt
  const prompt = `You are helping draft a professional email response.

ORIGINAL EMAIL:
From: ${senderName} <${senderEmail}>
Subject: ${subject}

${body}

YOUR TASK:
Write a professional, contextual email response that:
1. Acknowledges the sender's email appropriately
2. Addresses any questions or action items mentioned
3. Maintains a professional but friendly tone
4. Is concise and clear
5. Ends with an appropriate sign-off`;

  // 2. Select model (FREE-FIRST)
  const { getLanguageModelSafe } = await import(
    "../../agents/mcp_tools/models/modelResolver"
  );
  const modelName = modelOverride || "devstral-2-free";
  const model = getLanguageModelSafe(modelName);

  // 3. Generate structured output
  const { generateObject } = await import("ai");
  const result = await generateObject({
    model,
    schema: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        subject: { type: "string", description: 'Reply subject line (start with "Re: " if replying)' },
        body: { type: "string", description: "The complete email body text" },
        reasoning: { type: "string", description: "Brief explanation of the response approach" },
      },
      required: ["subject", "body"],
    },
    prompt,
  });

  return {
    subject: result.object.subject,
    body: result.object.body,
  };
}
```

## Usage Examples

### Default (FREE Model)

```typescript
// Uses devstral-2-free (FREE)
await ctx.runAction(
  internal.domains.proactive.actions.emailDraftGenerator.generateEmailDraft,
  {
    opportunityId: "opp_123",
    userId: "user_456",
    actionMode: "suggest",
  }
);
```

### High-Quality Override

```typescript
// Use Claude Sonnet for better quality
await ctx.runAction(
  internal.domains.proactive.actions.emailDraftGenerator.generateEmailDraft,
  {
    opportunityId: "opp_123",
    userId: "user_456",
    actionMode: "suggest",
    model: "claude-sonnet-4.5", // Override for quality
  }
);
```

### Quality Tiers

#### FREE Tier (Default)
```typescript
model: "devstral-2-free"  // 100% pass rate, 70s avg, $0
```

#### Budget Tier
```typescript
model: "gemini-3-flash"   // Fast, $0.50/M input
model: "gpt-5-nano"       // Efficient, $0.10/M input
```

#### Quality Tier
```typescript
model: "claude-sonnet-4.5"  // Best quality, $1/M input
model: "gpt-5.2"            // OpenAI flagship, $5/M input
model: "gemini-3-pro"       // Google flagship, $1.25/M input
```

## LLM Prompt Engineering

### Prompt Structure

The prompt is designed to:
1. **Provide full context** - Original email sender, subject, body
2. **Set clear task** - Generate professional response
3. **Define requirements** - Tone, structure, content guidelines
4. **Avoid common errors** - No signature blocks, no placeholders

### Prompt Guidelines

```markdown
ORIGINAL EMAIL:
[Full context: sender, subject, body]

YOUR TASK:
Write a professional, contextual email response that:
1. Acknowledges the sender's email appropriately
2. Addresses any questions or action items mentioned
3. Maintains a professional but friendly tone
4. Is concise and clear
5. Ends with an appropriate sign-off

IMPORTANT:
- Do NOT include signature block (name, title, contact)
- If questions, acknowledge them (suggest placeholders if needed)
- If meeting request, suggest times or ask for availability
- If follow-up, acknowledge you're working on it
- Keep focused and actionable
```

### Output Schema

```typescript
{
  subject: string;        // Reply subject (e.g., "Re: Project Update")
  body: string;          // Complete email body
  reasoning?: string;    // Optional: Brief explanation
}
```

## Fallback Strategy

If LLM generation fails (API error, timeout, rate limit), the system automatically falls back to template-based generation:

```typescript
try {
  // Try LLM generation
  return await generateWithLLM();
} catch (error) {
  console.error("LLM generation failed, using template fallback");

  // Fallback to templates
  const responseType = analyzeDraftType(body, subject);
  return generateDraftFromTemplate(responseType, subject, body, senderName);
}
```

### Template Types (Fallback)

1. **Question Answer** - Acknowledges questions, asks for details
2. **Acknowledgment** - Simple "thanks, reviewing" response
3. **Follow-Up** - "Working on it, update soon"
4. **Meeting Request** - Suggests scheduling times

## Performance Considerations

### Model Performance

| Model | Avg Time | Cost/M | Quality | Use Case |
|-------|----------|--------|---------|----------|
| devstral-2-free | 70s | $0 | Good | **Default** - Fast drafts |
| mimo-v2-flash-free | 83s | $0 | Good | Reliable alternative |
| gemini-3-flash | ~3s | $0.50 | Very Good | Budget quality upgrade |
| claude-sonnet-4.5 | ~5s | $1.00 | Excellent | Premium quality |

### Optimization Tips

1. **Use FREE models for bulk** - Free models are fine for most emails
2. **Override for VIPs** - Use quality models for important contacts
3. **Cache common patterns** - Store successful drafts for similar emails
4. **Batch generation** - Generate multiple drafts in parallel

## Cost Analysis

### FREE Tier Cost

```
Model: devstral-2-free
Cost: $0.00 per draft
Monthly limit: None (OpenRouter free tier)
```

### Paid Tier Costs

Assuming 500-word email = ~700 tokens:

| Model | Input Cost | Output Cost | Total/Draft |
|-------|------------|-------------|-------------|
| gemini-3-flash | $0.00035 | $0.0014 | **$0.00175** |
| claude-sonnet-4.5 | $0.0007 | $0.0105 | **$0.01120** |
| gpt-5.2 | $0.0035 | $0.0525 | **$0.05600** |

**Example Monthly Cost (100 drafts):**
- FREE (devstral-2-free): **$0.00**
- Gemini 3 Flash: **$0.18**
- Claude Sonnet: **$1.12**
- GPT-5.2: **$5.60**

## Error Handling

### Common Errors

1. **API Rate Limit**
   - Fallback to templates
   - Log error for monitoring
   - Consider paid model with higher limits

2. **Model Unavailable**
   - Try fallback model (mimo-v2-flash-free)
   - Then try paid models if critical
   - Last resort: template generation

3. **Timeout**
   - Set 30s timeout for LLM calls
   - Fallback to templates if exceeded
   - Consider faster model (gemini-3-flash)

### Error Logging

```typescript
try {
  const draft = await generateWithLLM(model);
  return draft;
} catch (error) {
  console.error(`[EmailDraftGenerator] LLM error with model ${model}:`, {
    error: error.message,
    opportunityId,
    fallbackUsed: true,
  });

  // Track failed generation for monitoring
  await ctx.runMutation(async (ctx) => {
    await ctx.db.insert("llmErrors", {
      service: "emailDraftGenerator",
      model,
      errorMessage: error.message,
      timestamp: Date.now(),
    });
  });

  return generateFallbackDraft();
}
```

## Future Enhancements

### Short-Term

1. **Context Window Expansion**
   - Include previous email thread (not just latest)
   - Add user's writing style examples
   - Include company communication guidelines

2. **Smart Model Selection**
   - Automatic model selection based on email importance
   - VIP contacts → Claude Sonnet
   - Internal emails → Free models

3. **Learning from Feedback**
   - Track which drafts user accepts vs edits
   - Fine-tune prompts based on user preferences
   - Learn user's communication style

### Long-Term

1. **Custom Fine-Tuning**
   - Fine-tune free models on user's email history
   - Personalize tone and style
   - Learn industry-specific terminology

2. **Multi-Language Support**
   - Detect original email language
   - Generate response in same language
   - Support 20+ languages

3. **Advanced Features**
   - Attachment summaries
   - Calendar integration for scheduling
   - CRM integration for context
   - Sentiment analysis and tone adjustment

## Troubleshooting

### Draft Quality Issues

**Problem:** LLM generates generic/unhelpful drafts

**Solution:**
1. Try quality model: `model: "claude-sonnet-4.5"`
2. Check original email has enough context
3. Add more specific instructions to prompt
4. Consider fine-tuning on user's email history

### Performance Issues

**Problem:** Draft generation too slow (>30s)

**Solution:**
1. Use faster free model: `model: "mimo-v2-flash-free"`
2. Or paid fast model: `model: "gemini-3-flash"` (~3s)
3. Set timeout to 20s to avoid long waits
4. Cache common response patterns

### Cost Overruns

**Problem:** Too expensive with paid models

**Solution:**
1. Revert to FREE default: `model: "devstral-2-free"`
2. Use paid only for VIPs
3. Set monthly budget limits
4. Monitor usage in dashboard

## Summary

**LLM Integration Complete:**
- ✅ FREE-FIRST strategy (devstral-2-free default)
- ✅ Context-aware draft generation
- ✅ Professional tone and style
- ✅ Model override support (13 models)
- ✅ Automatic fallback to templates
- ✅ Structured output with reasoning
- ✅ Cost optimization ($0 default)

**Production Ready:** Yes

**Next Steps:** User testing, feedback collection, prompt refinement
