In the chat interface, the feedback from the assistant tool is not timely. After initiating a conversation and asking a question, I cannot intuitively see the detailed execution process of OpenClaw, which tools are invoked, and when the assistant is executed. Additionally, there is a delay in display. I need to frequently refresh the browser to see in real time what my crayfish is doing and whether it has paused.

Fix Plan

To address the issue of delayed feedback from the assistant tool, we will implement the following steps:

  • Increase polling frequency: Reduce the time interval between polls to the server for updates.
  • Implement WebSockets: Establish a bi-directional communication channel between the client and server for real-time updates.
  • Optimize server-side processing: Improve the efficiency of the server-side code to reduce processing time.

Example Code

// Increase polling frequency (temporary workaround)
setInterval(() => {
  fetch('/assistant-status')
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => updateUI(data));
}, 1000); // poll every 1 second

// Implement WebSockets (recommended solution)
const socket = new WebSocket('ws://example.com/assistant-status');
socket.onmessage = (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  updateUI(data);
};

Verification

To verify the fix, test the chat interface by initiating a conversation and asking a question. The feedback from the assistant tool should be displayed in real-time, without requiring a browser refresh.

Extra Tips

  • Monitor server-side performance to ensure that the increased polling frequency or WebSocket connections do not overload the server.
  • Consider implementing a queueing system to handle multiple requests and updates efficiently.
