Challenges we ran into
1️⃣ AI Server Integration & Real-Time Response Handling
🔍 Challenge:
Since AI processing was handled on a separate server, ensuring seamless communication between our backend and the AI server was tricky. We had to send requests, process responses efficiently, and handle API failures gracefully.
💡 Solution:
✅ Implemented auto-retry and error handling for failed AI requests.
✅ Used async/await with Promise.allSettled() to manage multiple API calls.
✅ Logged failures and implemented a fallback mechanism to prevent downtime.
2️⃣ Scraped Data Processing & Storage
🔍 Challenge:
Scraping user data from multiple sources (LinkedIn, GitHub, etc.) required sending individual API calls. We needed a way to store and structure this data efficiently.
💡 Solution:
✅ Designed a ScrapedData model to store raw and processed content separately.
✅ Used batch processing to send separate API requests for each platform.
✅ Added error logging to track failed scraping attempts and retry them later.
3️⃣ Generating & Managing Public Links for Chatbots
🔍 Challenge:
We needed to generate unique and shareable public links for each chatbot while ensuring they remained secure and functional.
💡 Solution:
✅ Used crypto.randomBytes(6).toString("hex") to generate randomized unique public links.
✅ Stored public links in the ChatBot model for easy retrieval.
✅ Created a public API route to allow interaction with chatbots without authentication.
4️⃣ Handling Large Conversations & Sentiment Analysis
