Employee Service Desk for Personnel Policy Q&A: Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering

What the data for this category looks like

Personnel policy Q&A data comes from official documents released by internal compliance departments of central state-owned enterprises and public service institutions. These include specialized handbooks covering attendance and leave, compensation management, recruitment and probation, performance appraisal, and more. Documents follow a chapter and clause structure, with fixed fields including policy name, effective date, applicable audience, implementation details, and additional relevant content. Effective dates use the YYYY-MM-DD format. Applicable audiences are divided into ranges based on job sequence and years of service. Update cycles vary with policy adjustments, with no fixed schedule. Individual document lengths range from several thousand to tens of thousands of characters.

Constraints imposed by these characteristics on multi-turn dialogue and prompt engineering

Personnel policy Q&A data has a strict structure tied to clear applicable scenarios. Updates follow no fixed cycle, and document lengths vary significantly. These characteristics require that multi-turn dialogue accurately associate clause numbers, to avoid content deviations caused by fuzzy matching. Regular synchronization of the latest policy content is required, to prevent expired clauses from being referenced in conversation context. Supplementary information about applicable audience attributes such as job position and years of service must be collected, to narrow the scope of policy matching. Context length must be controlled, to avoid exceeding the model input limit, and ensure the accuracy and stability of multi-turn interactions.

Configuration Settings

The following configurations apply to FastGPT v4.17.0.

Configuration ItemRecommended ApproachRationale
chatIdGenerate a unique identifier per sessionUsed to bind conversation context, ensuring session consistency for multi-turn interactions
messagesRetain the most recent 10–15 rounds of conversation contentPersonnel policy documents are lengthy. Excessive context will exceed the model input limit. Retaining recent interactions allows accurate association with current questions
variablesInject the current user's job position and years of service fieldsMatch clauses in policies targeted at specific groups, narrowing the search scope
Maximum context length8000–12000 tokenAdapt to the input limits of general large models, avoiding truncation of critical policy clauses
Question optimizationEnable automatic follow-up to supplement informationPrompt for supplementary key details such as job position and entry time for scenarios that are not clearly specified
Session expiration time7200 secondsEnsure sessions are retained for a reasonable duration, avoiding expired context interfering with current interactions

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Symptom: The AI dialogue node returns an input length limit exceeded error, or directly returns a no-result response. Cause: No context length limit is configured, and historical content accumulated from multi-turn dialogue exceeds the model input limit.
  • Symptom: Specific initiating users cannot be associated in conversation logs. Cause: The chatId parameter is not configured in the workflow, making it impossible to bind the unique identifier of the user session.
  • Symptom: Returned policy clauses do not match the user's actual applicable scenario. Cause: Key information such as the user's job position and years of service is not injected via variables, making accurate matching of corresponding clauses impossible.

How to Verify Configurations Are Correct

  • Initiate multi-turn questions that include job position and years of service, check whether the AI can accurately associate corresponding policy clauses.
  • Review conversation logs, confirm that each session carries a unique chatId identifier, allowing targeted user conversations to be located via the identifier.
  • Simulate input of historical conversations that exceed the preset context length, check whether the system triggers length limit interception or automatic truncation.
  • Test questions that do not provide key scenario information, check whether the AI automatically follows up to supplement necessary content.
