TeqFW Guide: DTO

An architectural assistant for teams

In TeqFW, the concept of a DTO has a clearly defined place and purpose. Developers join a project with different backgrounds and their own idea of what a DTO is and how it should be used. Those differences are natural, but they need careful alignment so the team can work within a shared architectural logic.

TeqFW Guide: DTO is a personal GPT assistant that conveys a coherent understanding of DTOs in TeqFW. It is grounded in the specification and an internal architecture model, helping project participants gradually synchronize their mental model with the adopted paradigm.

Personalized conversations

The assistant explains things differently for each user. It takes into account your level of preparation, how you phrase questions, and the assumptions you start from. A senior engineer and a newcomer get different depth and different arguments, but the outcome is the same: a single architectural picture.

During the conversation, the assistant gently clarifies terms, compares interpretations, and gradually brings the user’s understanding closer to the target model adopted in TeqFW. This format respects a person’s experience while keeping the project’s architecture consistent.

An onboarding tool

TeqFW Guide: DTO can be used to onboard new team members. It lets people ask questions in free form and get answers aligned with the specification. This reduces reliance on oral explanations and makes architectural principles accessible at any time.

The assistant can also help while writing code by staying aligned with TeqFW’s rules. It supports work within the given architecture and helps keep it consistent.

A coherent model and predictable answers

The assistant’s behavior is based on a fixed corpus of documents and system rules. This provides stable interpretation and predictable answers. For contentious or edge cases, it relies on the specification and explains the relevant points.

This creates a single architectural voice available to the whole team in a personal-dialogue format.

An example of GPT customization

TeqFW Guide: DTO is one example of a class of products called Solo GPT: custom GPT assistants tuned to a specific knowledge model and predefined behavioral boundaries. Here the assistant serves TeqFW architecture, but the same approach can be applied to any internal standards, methodologies, and products.
