Real-Time Form Discovery Updates Summary

Overview

The LiveKit agent has been completely updated to use REAL-TIME ONLY form field discovery. The system now NEVER uses cached selectors and always gets fresh field selectors using MCP tools on every request.

Key Changes Made

🔄 Core Philosophy Change

  • FROM: Cache-first approach with fallback to discovery
  • TO: Real-time only approach with NO cache dependency

🚫 Eliminated Cache Dependencies

  • Removed: All cached selector lookups from fill_field_by_name()
  • Removed: Fuzzy matching against cached fields
  • Removed: Auto-detection cache refresh
  • Added: Pure real-time discovery pipeline

Updated Methods

1. fill_field_by_name() - Complete Rewrite

Before: Cache → Refresh → Fuzzy Match → Discovery

# OLD: Cache-first approach
if field_name_lower in self.cached_input_fields:
    # Use cached selector

After: Real-time only discovery

# NEW: Real-time only approach
discovery_result = await self._discover_form_fields_dynamically(field_name, value)
enhanced_result = await self._enhanced_field_detection_with_retry(field_name, value)
content_result = await self._analyze_page_content_for_field(field_name, value)
direct_result = await self._direct_mcp_element_search(field_name, value)

2. New Real-Time Methods Added

  • Purpose: Exhaustive real-time element search
  • Uses: chrome_get_interactive_elements for ALL elements
  • Features: Very flexible matching, common selector generation

_is_very_flexible_match()

  • Purpose: Ultra-flexible field matching for difficult cases
  • Features: Partial text matching, type-based matching

_generate_common_selectors()

  • Purpose: Generate intelligent CSS selectors in real-time
  • Features: Field name variations, type-specific patterns

3. Enhanced LiveKit Agent Functions

New Function Tools:

  • fill_field_realtime_only() - Guaranteed real-time discovery
  • get_realtime_form_fields() - Live form field discovery
  • Enhanced discover_and_fill_field() - Pure real-time approach

Real-Time Discovery Pipeline

Step 1: Dynamic MCP Discovery

# Uses chrome_get_interactive_elements and chrome_get_content_web_form
discovery_result = await self._discover_form_fields_dynamically(field_name, value)

Step 2: Enhanced Detection with Retry

# Multiple retry attempts with increasing flexibility
enhanced_result = await self._enhanced_field_detection_with_retry(field_name, value, max_retries=3)

Step 3: Content Analysis

# Analyzes page content for field patterns
content_result = await self._analyze_page_content_for_field(field_name, value)
# Exhaustive search through ALL page elements
direct_result = await self._direct_mcp_element_search(field_name, value)

MCP Tools Used

Primary Tools:

  • chrome_get_interactive_elements - Gets current form elements
  • chrome_get_content_web_form - Analyzes form structure
  • chrome_get_web_content - Content analysis
  • chrome_fill_or_select - Fills discovered fields

Discovery Strategy:

  1. Real-time element discovery using MCP tools
  2. Live selector generation based on current attributes
  3. Immediate validation of generated selectors
  4. Dynamic field matching with flexible criteria

Voice Command Processing

Natural Language Examples:

"fill email with john@example.com"
"enter password secret123"
"type hello in search box"
"add user name John Smith"

Processing Flow:

  1. Parse voice command → Extract field name and value
  2. Real-time discovery → Use MCP tools to find current elements
  3. Match and fill → Generate selector and fill field
  4. Provide feedback → Report success/failure with method used

Benefits of Real-Time Approach

🎯 Accuracy

  • Always current - reflects actual page state
  • No stale selectors - eliminates cached failures
  • Dynamic adaptation - handles page changes

🔄 Reliability

  • Fresh discovery - every request gets new selectors
  • Multiple strategies - comprehensive fallback methods
  • Live validation - selectors tested before use

🌐 Compatibility

  • Works on any site - no pre-configuration needed
  • Handles dynamic content - adapts to JavaScript forms
  • Future-proof - works with new web technologies

Testing

New Test Suite: test_realtime_form_discovery.py

  • Real-time discovery on Google and GitHub
  • Direct MCP tool testing
  • Field matching algorithms validation
  • Cross-website compatibility testing

Test Coverage:

  • Dynamic field discovery functionality
  • Retry mechanism with multiple strategies
  • Very flexible matching algorithms
  • MCP tool integration

Performance Considerations

Trade-offs:

  • Slightly slower than cached approach (by design)
  • Much more reliable than cached selectors
  • Eliminates cache management overhead
  • Prevents stale selector issues

Optimization:

  • Early termination on first successful match
  • Parallel strategy execution where possible
  • Intelligent selector prioritization

Migration Impact

For Users:

  • No changes required - same voice commands work
  • Better reliability - fewer "field not found" errors
  • Works on more sites - adapts to any website

For Developers:

  • No API changes - same function signatures
  • Enhanced logging - better debugging information
  • Simplified maintenance - no cache management

Configuration

Real-Time Settings:

max_retries = 3  # Number of retry attempts
retry_strategies = [
    "interactive_elements",
    "form_content", 
    "content_analysis",
    "direct_search"
]

MCP Tool Requirements:

  • chrome_get_interactive_elements - Required
  • chrome_get_content_web_form - Required
  • chrome_get_web_content - Required
  • chrome_fill_or_select - Required

Error Handling

Graceful Degradation:

  1. Interactive elements discovery
  2. Form content analysis
  3. Content analysis
  4. Direct search with flexible matching

Detailed Logging:

  • Each strategy attempt logged
  • Selector generation tracked
  • Match criteria recorded
  • Failure reasons documented

Future Enhancements

Planned Improvements:

  • Visual element detection using screenshots
  • Machine learning field recognition
  • Performance optimization for faster discovery
  • Advanced context awareness

Files Updated

Core Files:

  • mcp_chrome_client.py - Complete real-time discovery system
  • livekit_agent.py - New real-time function tools
  • test_realtime_form_discovery.py - Comprehensive test suite
  • REALTIME_FORM_DISCOVERY.md - Complete documentation

Documentation:

  • REALTIME_UPDATES_SUMMARY.md - This summary
  • DYNAMIC_FORM_FILLING.md - Updated with real-time focus

Conclusion

The LiveKit agent now features a completely real-time form discovery system that:

NEVER uses cached selectors
Always gets fresh selectors using MCP tools
Adapts to any website dynamically
Provides multiple fallback strategies
Maintains full backward compatibility
Offers enhanced reliability and accuracy

This ensures the agent works reliably across all websites with dynamic content, providing users with a robust and adaptive form-filling experience.
