AI: Simple Conversation

See more AI Examples

Initiates a conversation and sends two requests. The second request includes the transcript of the messages between the user and assistant from the first request. Go

    success := false

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

    ai := chilkat.NewAi()

    // The provider can be "openai", "google", "claude", "deepseek", "xai", or "perplexity".
    // Support for additional providers will be added in future versions of Chilkat.
    ai.SetProvider("claude")

    // Use your provider's API key.
    ai.SetApiKey("MY_API_KEY")

    // Choose a model.
    ai.SetModel("claude-opus-4-1-20250805")

    // Create a new conversation to be maintained locally in memory.
    // If the conversation is the first to be created, it is also automatically selected.
    systemMsg := "You are a helpful assistant"
    developerMsg := "Respond only with markdown"
    conversationName := "test_conversation"
    ai.NewConvo(conversationName,systemMsg,developerMsg)

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Make the first request...
    // Add a text input.
    ai.InputAddText("Say Hello")

    // Ask the AI for text output.
    success = ai.Ask("text")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(ai.LastErrorText())

        return
    }

    // Get the text response.
    sbResponse := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    ai.GetOutputTextSb(sbResponse)
    fmt.Println(*sbResponse.GetAsString())
    fmt.Println("----")

    // -------------------------------------------------------------
    // The response is in markdown format.
    // Also see Markdown to HTML Conversion Examples.
    // -------------------------------------------------------------

    // Sample output:

    // # Hello! 👋
    // ## Welcome!
    // It's **great** to meet you. How can I *assist* you today?
    // ---
    // Feel free to ask me anything, and I'll respond in `markdown` format.

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Send the 2nd request in the conversation.
