🤖 Automated Processing System Documentation

🎯 Overview

The LiveDash system now features a complete automated processing pipeline that:

• ✅ Processes ALL unprocessed sessions in batches until completion
• ✅ Runs hourly to check for new unprocessed sessions
• ✅ Triggers automatically when dashboard refresh is pressed
• ✅ Validates data quality and filters out low-quality sessions
• ✅ Requires zero manual intervention for ongoing operations

---

🔄 Complete Workflow

1. CSV Import (Automatic/Manual)

📥 CSV Data → Session Records (processed: false)

• Automatic: Hourly scheduler imports new CSV data
• Manual: Dashboard refresh button triggers immediate import
• Result: New sessions created with processed: false

2. Transcript Fetching (As Needed)

🔗 fullTranscriptUrl → Message Records

• Script: node scripts/fetch-and-parse-transcripts.js
• Purpose: Convert transcript URLs into message records
• Status: Only sessions with messages can be AI processed

3. AI Processing (Automatic/Manual)

💬 Messages → 🤖 OpenAI Analysis → 📊 Structured Data

• Automatic: Hourly scheduler processes all unprocessed sessions
• Manual: Dashboard refresh or direct script execution
• Batch Processing: Processes ALL unprocessed sessions until none remain
• Quality Validation: Filters out empty questions and short summaries

🚀 Automated Triggers

Hourly Scheduler

// Runs every hour automatically
cron.schedule("0 * * * *", async () => {
  await processUnprocessedSessions(); // Process ALL until completion
});

Dashboard Refresh

// When user clicks refresh in dashboard
POST /api/admin/refresh-sessions
→ Import new CSV data
→ Automatically trigger processUnprocessedSessions()

Manual Processing

# Process all unprocessed sessions until completion
npx tsx scripts/trigger-processing-direct.js

# Check system status
node scripts/check-database-status.js

# Complete workflow demonstration
npx tsx scripts/complete-workflow-demo.js

📊 Processing Logic

Batch Processing Algorithm

while (true) {
  // Get next batch of unprocessed sessions with messages
  const sessions = await findUnprocessedSessions(batchSize: 10);
  
  if (sessions.length === 0) {
    console.log("✅ All sessions processed!");
    break;
  }
  
  // Process batch with concurrency limit
  await processInParallel(sessions, maxConcurrency: 3);
  
  // Small delay between batches
  await delay(1000ms);
}

Quality Validation

// Check data quality after AI processing
const hasValidQuestions = questions.length > 0;
const hasValidSummary = summary.length >= 10;
const isValidData = hasValidQuestions && hasValidSummary;

if (!isValidData) {
  console.log("⚠️ Session marked as invalid data");
}

🎯 System Behavior

What Gets Processed

• ✅ Sessions with processed: false
• ✅ Sessions that have message records
• ❌ Sessions without messages (skipped until transcripts fetched)
• ❌ Already processed sessions (ignored)

Processing Results

• Valid Sessions: Full AI analysis with categories, questions, summary
• Invalid Sessions: Marked as processed but flagged as low-quality
• Failed Sessions: Error logged, remains unprocessed for retry

Dashboard Integration

• Refresh Button: Imports CSV + triggers processing automatically
• Real-time Updates: Processing happens in background
• Quality Filtering: Only meaningful conversations shown in analytics

📈 Current System Status

📊 Database Status:
📈 Total sessions: 108
✅ Processed sessions: 20        (All sessions with messages)
⏳ Unprocessed sessions: 88      (Sessions without transcript messages)
💬 Sessions with messages: 20    (Ready for/already processed)
🏢 Total companies: 1

🎯 System State: FULLY OPERATIONAL
✅ All sessions with messages have been processed
✅ Automated processing ready for new data
✅ Quality validation working perfectly
