AI Meeting Digest - Candidate Submission

1. Technology Choices

• Frontend: Vue.js 3 with Element Plus UI library
• Backend: Java Spring Boot with Spring WebFlux for reactive programming
• Database: MongoDB
• AI Service: Google Gemini API

Why This Stack?

I chose this modern full-stack combination for several reasons:

• Vue.js 3 provides excellent developer experience with its composition API and reactive system, paired with Element Plus for professional UI components
• Spring Boot with WebFlux enables both traditional REST APIs and reactive streaming capabilities needed for real-time AI response streaming
• MongoDB offers flexible document storage perfect for meeting summaries with varying structures
• Google Gemini API provides reliable AI text generation with streaming support and generous free tier

2. How to Run the Project

Prerequisites

• Java 17 or higher
• Node.js 16+ and npm/yarn
• MongoDB instance (configured for 192.168.0.49:29001)

Backend Setup

cd backend
# Run the Spring Boot application
./mvnw spring-boot:run
# Or: mvn spring-boot:run

Frontend Setup

cd frontend
npm install
npm run serve

Database Setup

The application will automatically connect to the configured MongoDB instance at 192.168.0.49:29001 and create the meeting_summary database if it doesn't exist.

Access the Application

• Frontend: http://localhost:8081
• Backend API: http://localhost:8080

3. Design Decisions & Trade-offs

Architecture Decisions

1. Reactive Programming with WebFlux: Implemented streaming responses using Spring WebFlux's Flux to handle real-time AI generation. This provides better user experience but adds complexity.

2. Dual API Approach: Created both traditional REST endpoints (/api/summaries) and streaming endpoints (/api/summaries/stream) to support both standard and real-time generation modes.

3. Unique Public IDs: Each summary gets a UUID-based public ID for secure sharing without exposing internal database IDs.

4. Structured Summary Format: Designed the AI prompt to return structured JSON with three specific sections: overview, key decisions, and action items.

Implemented Features

Core Features �

• Clean, responsive UI with textarea for transcript input
• "Generate Digest" button with loading states
• Structured summary display (overview, decisions, action items)
• History view of all past summaries
• Database persistence of transcripts and summaries

Bonus Features �

• Shareable Digest Links: Each summary has a unique public URL (/summary/:publicId)
• Real-time Streaming Response: Implemented Server-Sent Events for word-by-word AI response streaming

Trade-offs Made

1. Chinese UI: Implemented the interface in Chinese to demonstrate localization capability, though English would be more universal.

2. Simple Error Handling: Basic error handling with user-friendly messages, but could be more sophisticated for production.

3. MongoDB Schema: Chose flexible document structure over strict relational schema for easier summary format evolution.

4. Streaming Parsing: The streaming response parsing is somewhat fragile - relies on JSON extraction from streamed text.

What I'd Do With More Time

• Add comprehensive unit and integration tests
• Implement user authentication and authorization
• Add summary editing and deletion capabilities
• Improve streaming response parsing robustness
• Add summary search and filtering
• Implement summary export to PDF/Word formats
• Add analytics and usage tracking
• Implement summary categorization and tagging

4. AI Usage Log

I extensively used AI programming assistants (Claude) throughout this project:

Backend Development

• Spring Boot Setup: Used AI to generate the initial project structure and Maven dependencies
• Reactive Programming: Got help implementing WebFlux streaming endpoints, particularly the Flux<String> return types
• Gemini Integration: AI helped with HTTP client configuration and JSON request/response handling
• Database Modeling: Assistance with MongoDB repository setup and entity relationships

Frontend Development

• Vue.js 3 Components: AI helped with Vue composition API patterns and Element Plus component integration
• Streaming Implementation: Got significant help implementing the fetch-based streaming response handling
• CSS Styling: AI assisted with responsive layout and professional styling
• State Management: Help with reactive data binding and component state management

API Integration

• CORS Configuration: AI helped resolve cross-origin issues between frontend and backend
• Error Handling: Assistance with proper error propagation and user feedback
• Stream Processing: Significant help parsing Server-Sent Events format in the frontend

Prompt Engineering

• Gemini Prompt Design: AI helped craft the prompt to ensure consistent JSON output format from Gemini API
• Response Parsing: Assistance with robust JSON extraction from AI responses

Key AI Contributions

• Approximately 60% of boilerplate code generation
• 80% of complex reactive programming patterns
• 90% of streaming implementation logic
• 70% of error handling patterns
• 50% of UI component structure

The AI assistance was crucial for implementing the streaming features, which I hadn't worked with extensively before. It helped me understand WebFlux reactive patterns and frontend streaming consumption patterns that would have taken much longer to learn independently.
