# UI Simplification Implementation Guide
|
| 2 |
-
|
| 3 |
-
## Overview
|
| 4 |
-
This guide shows how to simplify the configuration interface in app.py to make it less intimidating and more space-efficient.
|
| 5 |
-
|
| 6 |
-
## Key Improvements
|
| 7 |
-
|
| 8 |
-
### 1. Simplified Variable Names
|
| 9 |
-
Replace technical environment variable names with user-friendly alternatives:
|
| 10 |
-
|
| 11 |
-
```python
|
| 12 |
-
# Instead of:
|
| 13 |
-
api_key_var = gr.Textbox(
|
| 14 |
-
label="API Key Configuration (Required)",
|
| 15 |
-
value="OPENROUTER_API_KEY",
|
| 16 |
-
info="Set this secret in HuggingFace Space Settings..."
|
| 17 |
-
)
|
| 18 |
-
|
| 19 |
-
# Use:
|
| 20 |
-
api_key_var = gr.Textbox(
|
| 21 |
-
label="API Key Name",
|
| 22 |
-
value="MY_API_KEY",
|
| 23 |
-
info="You'll set this in HuggingFace later"
|
| 24 |
-
)
|
| 25 |
-
```
|
| 26 |
-
|
| 27 |
-
### 2. Compact Layout
|
| 28 |
-
Reduce vertical space usage:
|
| 29 |
-
|
| 30 |
-
```python
|
| 31 |
-
# Group related fields in rows
|
| 32 |
-
with gr.Row():
|
| 33 |
-
model = gr.Dropdown(
|
| 34 |
-
label="AI Model",
|
| 35 |
-
choices=[("Fast & Smart", "google/gemini-2.0-flash-001")],
|
| 36 |
-
scale=2
|
| 37 |
-
)
|
| 38 |
-
|
| 39 |
-
with gr.Column(scale=1):
|
| 40 |
-
temperature = gr.Slider(
|
| 41 |
-
label="Creativity",
|
| 42 |
-
minimum=0, maximum=2, value=0.7
|
| 43 |
-
)
|
| 44 |
-
```
|
| 45 |
-
|
| 46 |
-
### 3. Progressive Disclosure
|
| 47 |
-
Hide advanced options by default:
|
| 48 |
-
|
| 49 |
-
```python
|
| 50 |
-
# Essential fields visible
|
| 51 |
-
system_prompt = gr.Textbox(
|
| 52 |
-
label="Assistant Instructions",
|
| 53 |
-
placeholder="Tell your assistant how to behave...",
|
| 54 |
-
lines=3
|
| 55 |
-
)
|
| 56 |
-
|
| 57 |
-
# Advanced settings hidden
|
| 58 |
-
with gr.Accordion("⚙️ Advanced (Optional)", open=False):
|
| 59 |
-
# Less common settings here
|
| 60 |
-
```
|
| 61 |
-
|
| 62 |
-
### 4. Friendly Labels and Descriptions
|
| 63 |
-
|
| 64 |
-
**Before:**
|
| 65 |
-
- "System Prompt" → "Assistant Instructions"
|
| 66 |
-
- "Max Response Tokens" → "Response Length"
|
| 67 |
-
- "Temperature" → "Creativity Level"
|
| 68 |
-
- "Grounding URLs" → "Reference Materials"
|
| 69 |
-
- "Enable Dynamic URL Fetching" → "Let assistant read links from chat"
|
| 70 |
-
|
| 71 |
-
### 5. Visual Hierarchy
|
| 72 |
-
Use emojis and formatting to create clear sections:
|
| 73 |
-
|
| 74 |
-
```python
|
| 75 |
-
gr.Markdown("## 🚀 Quick Setup")
|
| 76 |
-
gr.Markdown("### ✨ Your Assistant")
|
| 77 |
-
gr.Markdown("### 📎 Add Resources (Optional)")
|
| 78 |
-
```
|
| 79 |
-
|
| 80 |
-
## Implementation Steps
|
| 81 |
-
|
| 82 |
-
### Step 1: Update the Configuration Tab Layout
|
| 83 |
-
|
| 84 |
-
Replace the current configuration section (lines 1526-1732 in app.py) with:
|
| 85 |
-
|
| 86 |
-
```python
|
| 87 |
-
with gr.Tab("Configuration"):
|
| 88 |
-
gr.Markdown("# 🚀 Create Your AI Assistant")
|
| 89 |
-
gr.Markdown("Set up your custom assistant in just a few steps!")
|
| 90 |
-
|
| 91 |
-
with gr.Column():
|
| 92 |
-
# Simplified model selection
|
| 93 |
-
model = gr.Dropdown(
|
| 94 |
-
label="Choose Assistant Type",
|
| 95 |
-
choices=[
|
| 96 |
-
("Fast & Smart (Recommended)", "google/gemini-2.0-flash-001"),
|
| 97 |
-
("Advanced Analysis", "anthropic/claude-3.5-haiku"),
|
| 98 |
-
("Code Specialist", "mistralai/devstral-small")
|
| 99 |
-
],
|
| 100 |
-
value="google/gemini-2.0-flash-001"
|
| 101 |
-
)
|
| 102 |
-
|
| 103 |
-
# Main configuration card
|
| 104 |
-
with gr.Group():
|
| 105 |
-
gr.Markdown("### ✨ Configure Your Assistant")
|
| 106 |
-
|
| 107 |
-
# Template selector at top
|
| 108 |
-
template_selector = gr.Radio(
|
| 109 |
-
label="Start with a template or create custom",
|
| 110 |
-
choices=[
|
| 111 |
-
("Custom", "None"),
|
| 112 |
-
("Study Helper", "Research Template"),
|
| 113 |
-
("Teacher", "Socratic Template")
|
| 114 |
-
],
|
| 115 |
-
value="None",
|
| 116 |
-
type="value"
|
| 117 |
-
)
|
| 118 |
-
|
| 119 |
-
system_prompt = gr.Textbox(
|
| 120 |
-
label="How should your assistant behave?",
|
| 121 |
-
placeholder="Example: You are a friendly tutor who explains concepts clearly...",
|
| 122 |
-
lines=3
|
| 123 |
-
)
|
| 124 |
-
|
| 125 |
-
examples_text = gr.Textbox(
|
| 126 |
-
label="Starter Questions (one per line)",
|
| 127 |
-
placeholder="What can you help me with?\nExplain this concept",
|
| 128 |
-
lines=2
|
| 129 |
-
)
|
| 130 |
-
|
| 131 |
-
# Collapsible sections for optional features
|
| 132 |
-
with gr.Accordion("📎 Add Resources (Optional)", open=False):
|
| 133 |
-
url1 = gr.Textbox(
|
| 134 |
-
label="Main Reference",
|
| 135 |
-
placeholder="https://course-website.edu"
|
| 136 |
-
)
|
| 137 |
-
url2 = gr.Textbox(
|
| 138 |
-
label="Additional Reference",
|
| 139 |
-
placeholder="https://textbook.com"
|
| 140 |
-
)
|
| 141 |
-
|
| 142 |
-
enable_dynamic_urls = gr.Checkbox(
|
| 143 |
-
label="Let assistant read links from conversations",
|
| 144 |
-
value=True
|
| 145 |
-
)
|
| 146 |
-
|
| 147 |
-
with gr.Accordion("🔐 Security (Optional)", open=False):
|
| 148 |
-
api_key_var = gr.Textbox(
|
| 149 |
-
label="API Key Name",
|
| 150 |
-
value="MY_API_KEY",
|
| 151 |
-
info="Simple name for your API key"
|
| 152 |
-
)
|
| 153 |
-
|
| 154 |
-
access_code = gr.Textbox(
|
| 155 |
-
label="Access Password Name",
|
| 156 |
-
value="SPACE_PASSWORD",
|
| 157 |
-
info="Only if you want a private space"
|
| 158 |
-
)
|
| 159 |
-
|
| 160 |
-
# Action buttons
|
| 161 |
-
with gr.Row():
|
| 162 |
-
preview_btn = gr.Button("👁️ Preview", variant="secondary")
|
| 163 |
-
generate_btn = gr.Button("�� Create Assistant", variant="primary", size="lg")
|
| 164 |
-
```
|
| 165 |
-
|
| 166 |
-
### Step 2: Add Mobile-Responsive CSS
|
| 167 |
-
|
| 168 |
-
Add this CSS to make the form work well on all screen sizes:
|
| 169 |
-
|
| 170 |
-
```css
|
| 171 |
-
/* Add to the CSS section */
|
| 172 |
-
.gradio-container {
|
| 173 |
-
max-width: 800px !important;
|
| 174 |
-
margin: 0 auto;
|
| 175 |
-
}
|
| 176 |
-
|
| 177 |
-
/* Compact spacing */
|
| 178 |
-
.form { gap: 0.75rem !important; }
|
| 179 |
-
|
| 180 |
-
/* Mobile responsive */
|
| 181 |
-
@media (max-width: 768px) {
|
| 182 |
-
.gradio-container { padding: 1rem !important; }
|
| 183 |
-
button { width: 100%; }
|
| 184 |
-
.gr-row { flex-direction: column !important; }
|
| 185 |
-
}
|
| 186 |
-
```
|
| 187 |
-
|
| 188 |
-
### Step 3: Simplify Success Messages
|
| 189 |
-
|
| 190 |
-
Update the success message (around line 1173):
|
| 191 |
-
|
| 192 |
-
```python
|
| 193 |
-
success_msg = f"""✅ **Your assistant is ready!**
|
| 194 |
-
|
| 195 |
-
**Next steps:**
|
| 196 |
-
1. Download your package below
|
| 197 |
-
2. Create a new Space at [huggingface.co/spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces)
|
| 198 |
-
3. Upload the files
|
| 199 |
-
4. Add your API key: `{api_key_var}` = your OpenRouter key
|
| 200 |
-
|
| 201 |
-
**That's it! Your assistant will be live in 2 minutes.**
|
| 202 |
-
"""
|
| 203 |
-
```
|
| 204 |
-
|
| 205 |
-
## Benefits
|
| 206 |
-
|
| 207 |
-
1. **Less Intimidating**: Friendly language and clear hierarchy
|
| 208 |
-
2. **Faster Setup**: Essential fields visible, advanced hidden
|
| 209 |
-
3. **Mobile Friendly**: Works on phones and tablets
|
| 210 |
-
4. **Clearer Purpose**: Users understand what each field does
|
| 211 |
-
5. **Progressive Disclosure**: Complexity revealed only when needed
|
| 212 |
-
|
| 213 |
-
## Testing the Simplified UI
|
| 214 |
-
|
| 215 |
-
1. **Desktop View**: Ensure all elements fit without scrolling
|
| 216 |
-
2. **Mobile View**: Test on phone-sized screens
|
| 217 |
-
3. **Tablet View**: Verify responsive layout
|
| 218 |
-
4. **Quick Setup**: Time how long it takes to fill out
|
| 219 |
-
5. **User Testing**: Get feedback from non-technical users
|
| 220 |
-
|
| 221 |
-
## Variable Name Mapping
|
| 222 |
-
|
| 223 |
-
For backward compatibility, map friendly names to technical ones:
|
| 224 |
-
|
| 225 |
-
```python
|
| 226 |
-
# In generate_zip function
|
| 227 |
-
var_mapping = {
|
| 228 |
-
"MY_API_KEY": "OPENROUTER_API_KEY",
|
| 229 |
-
"SPACE_PASSWORD": "SPACE_ACCESS_CODE",
|
| 230 |
-
"TEACHER_PASSWORD": "FACULTY_CONFIG_PASSWORD"
|
| 231 |
-
}
|
| 232 |
-
|
| 233 |
-
# Use the technical name in the generated code
|
| 234 |
-
actual_var = var_mapping.get(api_key_var, api_key_var)
|
| 235 |
-
```
|
| 236 |
-
|
| 237 |
-
This ensures the generated spaces still work correctly while presenting friendly names to users.
