* This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loAi = CreateObject('Chilkat.Ai')

* The provider can be "openai", "google", "claude", "deepseek", "xai", or "perplexity".
* Support for additional providers will be added in future versions of Chilkat.
* xAI (Grok) will be used here..
loAi.Provider = "xai"

* Use your provider's API key.
loAi.ApiKey = "MY_API_KEY"

* Choose a model.
loAi.Model = "grok-4"

* Add both text input, and image data
loAi.InputAddText("Describe what you see in the following image.")

loBd = CreateObject('Chilkat.BinData')
* We're passing a relative local file path here.. (relative the the app's current working directory)
lnSuccess = loBd.LoadFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loBd.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loAi
    RELEASE loBd
    CANCEL
ENDIF

loAi.InputAddImageData(loBd,"")

* Ask the AI for text output.
lnSuccess = loAi.Ask("text")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loAi.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loAi
    RELEASE loBd
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Get the text response.
loSbResponse = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loAi.GetOutputTextSb(loSbResponse)
? loSbResponse.GetAsString()

* Sample output:

* The image depicts a small, bright orange starfish (also known as a sea star) with five symmetrical arms radiating from a central disc. 
* It has a textured, bumpy surface that gives it a realistic, almost spiky appearance, and there's a small hole or indentation at the center, 
* which might represent the mouth or a natural feature. The starfish is shown against a plain white background, and it appears to be a simple, 
* illustrative or clipart-style graphic rather than a photograph.
