🏗 Updated Implementation Architecture

Assistant Configuration System:

// Complete assistant library (48 configurations)
const assistantLibrary = {
  // Strategic Planning
  smart_goals: {
    name: "SMART Goals Assistant",
    system_prompt: `[COMPREHENSIVE SMART METHODOLOGY]`,
    model: "gpt-4o",
    temperature: 0.3,
    category: "strategic",
    initial_message: "Transform your goals into SMART objectives..."
  },
  
  // Creative Technique Specialists (47 Creator Bots)
  creator_tech_innovation: {
    name: "Creator Bot - Technology Innovation",
    system_prompt: `[PUSH TECH BOUNDARIES TECHNIQUE]`,
    model: "gpt-4o", 
    temperature: 0.8,
    category: "innovation",
    initial_message: "Let's push technological boundaries..."
  },
  
  // [Continue for all 48 assistants...]
};

Dynamic System Prompt Generation:

function buildSystemPrompt(assistantKey, tovKey) {
  const assistant = assistantLibrary[assistantKey];
  const basePrompt = assistant.system_prompt;
  
  const tovEnhancements = {
    standard: "",
    pep: "\n\nIMPORTANT: Use energetic, enthusiastic tone with exclamation points and motivational language!",
    professional: "\n\nIMPORTANT: Maintain formal, executive-level communication style.",
    casual: "\n\nIMPORTANT: Use friendly, conversational, approachable tone.",
    analytical: "\n\nIMPORTANT: Focus on data-driven insights and logical reasoning."
  };
  
  return basePrompt + (tovEnhancements[tovKey] || "");
}

Enhanced API Endpoint:

// Single endpoint handling all 48 assistants
router.post('/chat', async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const { AssistantKey, TOV_Key, Message, ConversationID } = req.body;
    
    // Get assistant configuration
    const assistantConfig = assistantLibrary[AssistantKey];
    if (!assistantConfig) {
      return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Assistant not found' });
    }
    
    // Build dynamic system prompt
    const systemPrompt = buildSystemPrompt(AssistantKey, TOV_Key);
    
    // Content moderation
    const moderation = await openai.moderations.create({ input: Message });
    if (moderation.results[0].flagged) {
      return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Content flagged' });
    }
    
    // Single Responses API call (replaces 8+ API calls)
    const response = await openai.responses.create({
      model: assistantConfig.model,
      input: Message,
      system: systemPrompt,
      temperature: assistantConfig.temperature,
      store: true,
      previous_response_id: conversation?.last_response_id,
      
      // Enhanced capabilities for Creator Bots
      tools: AssistantKey.startsWith('creator_') ? [
        { type: "web_search" },  // Research current trends
        { type: "file_search" }  // Analyze briefs/documents
      ] : []
    });
    
    // [Rest of implementation...]
    
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
  }
});
