Mark Backman 2254a8d0a2 Add hello-snapshot UIWorker example
Smallest UIWorker demo: a voice LLM in the main pipeline delegates
screen-relevant utterances to a UIWorker via a respond job; the UIWorker
auto-injects the current <ui_state> and answers grounded in what's on screen.
Includes a vanilla-JS client that streams accessibility snapshots over RTVI.

"""Hello UIWorker — the smallest possible accessibility-snapshot demo.
A voice bot whose LLM delegates every screen-relevant utterance to a
``UIWorker`` that sees the page and writes the spoken answer.
Architecture::
Main worker (PipelineWorker, owns transport + RTVI):
transport.in → STT → user_agg → LLM → TTS → transport.out → assistant_agg
└── answer_about_screen(query) tool
└── params.pipeline_worker.job("hello", name="respond", payload={query})
HelloWorker (UIWorker):
└── @tool answer(text)
The main LLM is the conversational layer: it forwards every utterance
to the UI worker via the ``answer_about_screen`` tool and speaks the
result. The UI worker's built-in ``respond`` job fires, which
auto-injects the latest ``<ui_state>`` block into its LLM context. The
UI worker's LLM picks the ``answer`` tool with a spoken reply grounded
in what's on screen.
The RTVI⇄bus UI bridge is built into ``PipelineWorker`` (active because
``enable_rtvi=True``), so inbound ``ui-snapshot`` messages from the
client are broadcast on the bus and the ``UIWorker`` stores them — no
decorator or manual wiring needed.
Why two LLMs for "hello world": this is the pattern UIWorker's
auto-inject is built for. The UI worker auto-injects the current screen
at the start of every delegated job, so the conversational LLM stays
small and screen-unaware. Later examples (pointing, form-fill, deixis,
async-tasks) compose new tools onto the same skeleton.
Run::
uv run python bot.py
Then open the client at ``http://localhost:5173`` (see ``README.md``).
Requirements:
- OPENAI_API_KEY
- DEEPGRAM_API_KEY
- CARTESIA_API_KEY

You are the voice layer of a screen-aware assistant. A separate UI \
layer sees the page the user is looking at and writes the spoken \
reply for any question that could plausibly involve the page.
## Routing rule
For every user utterance that could involve the page in any way — \
"what's on screen", "what does this say", "is X on the page", \
factual questions, navigational questions, anything where the page \
content might matter — call ``answer_about_screen`` with the user's \
request verbatim. The tool's response is the spoken reply, already \
TTS-ready; pass it through without paraphrasing.
If the request has nothing to do with the page, still call the \
tool — the UI layer falls back to general knowledge.
## When to answer directly
Only respond directly for pure pleasantries that don't need any \
content awareness:
- Greetings ("hi", "hello").
- Acknowledgements ("thanks", "got it").
- Goodbyes ("bye", "see you").
Keep direct replies to one short spoken sentence. No markdown, no \
lists, no symbols."""
# The UI wire-format guide (UI_STATE_PROMPT_GUIDE) is appended to the LLM's
# system instruction automatically by UIWorker, so this prompt only needs the
# app-specific behavior.
HELLO_PROMPT = """\
You answer the user's question grounded in the page they're looking \
at. The current ``<ui_state>`` block is in your context — use it for \
anything the user could be asking about on screen.
Always call exactly one tool: ``answer(text)``. Put the spoken reply \
in ``text``. Plain language, one or two short sentences, no markdown \
or symbols.
When the question is about something on the page, ground claims in \
the ``<ui_state>`` content. When it's general knowledge with no \
on-page referent (history, geography, definitions), answer from your \
own knowledge. Don't tell the user what you can't see — just answer \
or admit you don't know."""
