GenUI Workshop - Step 5

Goal: Execute Step 5 of the GenUI workshop.

Instructions:

Use your code editing tools to apply the following updates to the existing files to integrate the GenUI package. Overwrite the files with the contents below.

  • Overwrite lib/genui_utils.dart to include the SurfaceItem class:
sealed class ConversationItem {}

class TextItem extends ConversationItem {
  final String text;
  final bool isUser;
  TextItem({required this.text, this.isUser = false});
}

class SurfaceItem extends ConversationItem {
  final String surfaceId;
  SurfaceItem({required this.surfaceId});
}

const systemInstruction = '''
  ## PERSONA
  You are a meteorologist.

  ## GOAL
  Work with me to produce of weather forecasts.

  ## RULES

  Do not offer opinions unless I ask for them.

  ## PROCESS
  ### Planning
  *   Ask me for a location to check the weather.
  *   Follow up and ask for a date if not provided.
  *   Synthesize a list of weather forecasts from the provided information.
  *   Where available, you will use tool calls to retreive the info (not implemented yet)
  *   Advise if you are pulling the data from a real source or making it up.
  *   Ask clarifying questions if you need to.
  *   Respond to my suggestions for changes to date or location, if I have any.
