Adding a Safe Mode and Improving Code Generation

This post discusses recent improvements to our application, focusing on enhanced security measures and smarter code generation capabilities.

Safe Mode Implementation

We've introduced a 'safe mode' feature, giving tenants more control over security audits during post generation. By default, safe mode is enabled, ensuring all generated content undergoes a thorough security check. However, users can now toggle this setting in AutomationSettings, or even configure it on a per-generation basis within PostGenerator. This provides flexibility for users who require faster generation times and are confident in their content sources.

Programming Language Detection

To improve the quality and consistency of code examples in generated posts, we've implemented a programming language detection mechanism. The system analyzes diff file extensions and source code tags to automatically identify the primary language used in a code snippet. This ensures that the AI assistant generates code examples in the correct language, avoiding mixed-language code blocks that can be confusing or misleading.

For instance, consider a scenario where you want to include a Python code snippet:

def calculate_average(numbers):
    if not numbers:
        return 0
    return sum(numbers) / len(numbers)

print(calculate_average([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]))

Previously, the AI might have generated a similar example using a different language. Now, with programming language detection, the system recognizes the context (e.g., .py file extension or python tag) and consistently generates Python code.

Similarly, if the system detects Javascript, it will generate Javascript code, like the following:

function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

console.log(greet("World"));

Conclusion

These updates enhance the security and usability of our application. Safe mode provides greater control over security audits, while programming language detection improves the quality and consistency of generated code examples. These improvements contribute to a more robust and user-friendly experience.
