🛠 Technical Implementation Details

Database Schema Highlights

-- Projects with configurable features
CREATE TABLE projects (
  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  short_id TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
  user_id TEXT NOT NULL,
  title TEXT NOT NULL,
  goal TEXT,
  description TEXT,
  deadline TIMESTAMP,
  config JSONB DEFAULT '{}',
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW(),
  updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()
);

-- AI chat history with function calls
CREATE TABLE ai_chat_messages (
  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  project_id TEXT NOT NULL,
  role TEXT NOT NULL,
  content TEXT NOT NULL,
  function_call JSONB,
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()
);

AI Function Calling

The AI system supports four main functions:

  1. generateMaterials: Creates material lists from project descriptions
  2. generateChecklist: Creates step-by-step task lists
  3. searchInspiration: Finds relevant DIY tutorials and inspiration
  4. summarizeNotes: Analyzes and summarizes project notes

Subscription Enforcement

// Free users: 3 projects max, no AI features
// Premium users: Unlimited projects, full AI access
if (user.subscriptionStatus === 'FREE' && user.projects.length >= 3) {
  return res.status(403).json({ 
    error: 'Free users are limited to 3 projects. Upgrade to create unlimited projects.' 
  });
}
