Internal Office and Employee Services for Survey and Design: Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering

Internal Office and Employee Services for Survey and Design: Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering

What the data for this category looks like

Survey and design internal office data primarily comes from project management systems, design documents exported from CAD, internally shared industry specifications, and project change orders. Data update frequency is adjusted according to project progress: real-time updates when project changes occur, and quarterly synchronization for specification documents. Documents include structured fields (project ID, person in charge, seismic intensity, working hours) and unstructured content (design descriptions, drawing annotations). Units include days, hours, MPa, intensity levels and other professional fields.

The mixed structured and unstructured data in survey and design requires multi-turn dialogue to distinguish between structured ledger records and unstructured design content. Prompt words need to adapt to professional terminology and unit verification. Frequently updated change orders and project documents require that dialogue contexts synchronize the latest data in a timely manner, to avoid using expired content. Long-text design descriptions occupy a large amount of context window space, so it is necessary to limit the introduction of invalid redundant information while ensuring the recognition accuracy of professional terminology.

How to set the configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ApproachRationale
Maximum Context8000–12000 charactersAdapts to long-text design descriptions and project ledgers for survey and design, and can stably carry multi-turn dialogue history under FastGPT v4.17.0
variablesPreset project ID, professional domain variablesMatches fixed business fields for survey and design, reduces repeated prompt word writing
Single Search LimitTop 6 resultsAvoids excessive retrieval results interfering with the clarity of multi-turn dialogue context
messagesRetain the most recent 10 rounds of dialogue contentBalances context completeness and system response speed
Query OptimizationCalibrate based on actual testingAdapts to scenarios with many professional terms in survey and design, adjusts query word accuracy
RerankingSort by professional relevancePrioritizes returning specifications and drawing content matching the current design task

Three common mistakes

  • Symptom: Returns a 422 status code when calling AI dialogue, and cannot retrieve obtained document content. Cause: The context format of the messages parameter is not configured correctly, causing the system to fail to recognize the historical context of multi-turn dialogue, triggering parameter verification failure.
  • Symptom: Local conversation records disappear after the dialogue window is refreshed, but complete conversations can be viewed in the backend. Cause: Local cache configuration for chatId is not enabled, and only backend storage is relied on, leading to front-end session loss.
  • Symptom: After upgrading the FastGPT version, some historical conversation records cannot be loaded in the front-end window. Cause: The project-related field mapping in variables is not updated synchronously, leading to context matching failure and inability to associate with original sessions.

How to confirm the configuration is complete

  • Initiate a multi-turn dialogue containing professional terms (such as seismic intensity, load level), check whether the messages parameter correctly transfers the role and content of each round, with no format errors.
  • Manually refresh the dialogue window, verify the consistency between front-end session records and backend storage, and confirm that the cache configuration for chatId takes effect.
  • Trigger a query containing a preset project ID, check whether the business fields configured in variables are correctly called, and match the corresponding knowledge base content.
  • Turn off the user-visible output switch, initiate an internal debugging query, and verify that professional prompt words will not be visible to regular employees.
