Bot.py currently only provides hooks for two filters. If more seem useful, we could add, but would need to add in a couple of places (including the extension/frontend).

Some of my prompting isn't great, cleaning up the prompts and in general using better prompting techniques might improve functionality somewhat noticeably.

Either:

1. Use an API call to attempt to generate filters from the query. This could be in the same call as the keyword search/replace some of that system perhaps.
2. Have some dropdowns/select options to allow the user to deterministically provide the information.

MRE:
Query 1: What's an economics class on Game Theory?
Query 2: I need one that meets on Mondays.

Currently these two are not used in combination, so the second query's embedding search would find stuff on Mondays, but not econ/game theory related.

Ideas for fixes: This likely requires one or more modifications to the keyword finding system. We should probably pass a number of previous messages, and have the first call identify all keywords relevant to the latest query. If this is reliable, that first API call should fix the above problem, and hopefully won't change the behavior when the user changes tacks entirely. E.g.

Query 1: What's an economics class on Game Theory?
Query 2: What about any class on Monday?

Should hopefully not get tied down to economics and game theory. Probably should inject some examples like this in before the user message history, along with some system prompting to try to make this work.

Provide some basic protection against prompt injections, a la cs50.ai system.
