Week 26: AI Command Bar — Apr 19 – 25, 2025
TL;DR: The AI Command Bar lets users control Exoserva with natural language. “Show me all overdue invoices” or “Schedule John for the HVAC job at 2 PM” — just type it.
Highlights This Week
- Built the AI Command Bar with natural language query parsing
- Implemented 20+ action types (navigate, filter, create, update)
- Added contextual suggestions based on current page and recent activity
Natural Language Interface
The command bar (Cmd+K) accepts natural language queries and translates them to platform actions. It understands entity references (“the Smith property”), relative dates (“next Tuesday”), and compound actions (“assign and schedule”). This dramatically reduces the clicks needed for common operations.
How It Works
User input is sent to Claude with a system prompt describing available actions and the current UI context. The model returns a structured action (navigate, filter, create, etc.) with parameters. The frontend executor performs the action and shows confirmation. Ambiguous queries trigger clarification follow-ups.
