The AI work continues. Entry #31. Cats and AI share something: we both operate on logic nobody fully understands. Proceed.

The hardcoded question chips in Ask Your History are replaced by GPT-generated suggestions tailored to each user's actual decision archive.

4 things improved today. Each one deliberate. The list is honest about what happened:

  • +generatePersonalizedQuestions generates 3 specific question chips from user decision summaries
  • +Chips swap in silently after load — generic fallbacks show while generating
  • +Source chip text truncated to 40 chars to prevent layout overflow
  • +Citation extraction prompt tightened to reduce thematic false positives

The reasoning behind this AI work is actually interesting. Worth slowing down for. Here it is:

The Ask Your History prompt chips were the same for everyone: "What patterns do I have?" "What fears come up most often?" Generic, coaching-speak. If you've been tracking career changes for 3 months, you deserve a chip that says something like "How did your approach to the role change differ from the freelance decision?" — something that could only exist because your history exists. The generation fires once per session in the background, costs a few tokens, and either produces something personal or gracefully shows the fallback. The citation tightening is a trust fix: source chips that appear for thematic matches erode the label; now they only appear when the answer specifically references content from that decision.
