DysonNetwork Insight Thought API

The Thought API provides conversational AI capabilities for users of the Solar Network. It allows users to engage in chat-like conversations with an AI assistant powered by semantic kernel and connected to various tools.

This service is handled by the Insight, when using with the Gateway, the /api should be replaced with /insight

Features

• Streaming chat responses using Server-Sent Events (SSE)
• Conversation context management with sequences
• Caching for improved performance
• Authentication required for all operations

Endpoints

POST /api/thought

Initiates or continues a chat conversation.

Parameters

• UserMessage (string, required): The message from the user
• SequenceId (Guid, optional): ID of existing conversation sequence. If not provided, a new sequence is created.

Response

• Content-Type: text/event-stream
• Streaming response with assistant messages
• Status: 401 if not authenticated
• Status: 403 if sequence doesn't belong to user

Example Usage

curl -X POST "http://localhost:5000/api/thought" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "UserMessage": "Hello, how can I help with the Solar Network?",
    "SequenceId": null
  }'

GET /api/thought/sequences

Lists all thinking sequences for the authenticated user.

Parameters

• offset (int, default 0): Number of sequences to skip for pagination
• take (int, default 20): Maximum number of sequences to return

Response

• 200 OK: Array of SnThinkingSequence
• 401 Unauthorized: If not authenticated
• Headers:
  • X-Total: Total number of sequences before pagination

Example Usage

curl -X GET "http://localhost:5000/api/thought/sequences?take=10"

GET /api/thought/sequences/{sequenceId}

Retrieves all thoughts (messages) in a specific conversation sequence.

Parameters

• sequenceId (Guid, path): ID of the sequence to retrieve

Response

• 200 OK: Array of SnThinkingThought ordered by creation date
• 401 Unauthorized: If not authenticated
• 404 Not Found: If sequence doesn't exist or doesn't belong to user

Example Usage

curl -X GET "http://localhost:5000/api/thought/sequences/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc"

Data Models

StreamThinkingRequest

{
  string UserMessage, // Required
  Guid? SequenceId    // Optional
}

SnThinkingSequence

{
  Guid Id,
  string? Topic,
  Guid AccountId
}

SnThinkingThought

{
  Guid Id,
  string? Content,
  List<SnCloudFileReferenceObject> Files,
  ThinkingThoughtRole Role,
  Guid SequenceId,
  SnThinkingSequence Sequence
}

ThinkingThoughtRole (enum)

• Assistant
• User

Caching

The API uses Redis-based caching for conversation thoughts:

• Thoughts are cached for 10 minutes with group-based invalidation
• Cache is invalidated when new thoughts are added to a sequence
• Improves performance for accessing conversation history

Authentication

All endpoints require authentication through the current user session. Sequence access is validated against the authenticated user's account ID.

Error Responses

• 401 Unauthorized: Authentication required
• 403 Forbidden: Access denied (sequence ownership)
• 404 Not Found: Resource not found

Streaming Details

The POST endpoint returns a stream of assistant responses using Server-Sent Events format. Clients should handle the streaming response and display messages incrementally.

Implementation Notes

• Built with ASP.NET Core and Semantic Kernel
• Uses PostgreSQL via Entity Framework Core
• Integrated with Ollama for AI completion
• Caching via Redis
