Prove Stateful Multi-Turn Conversation

See more AI Examples

This example is to prove that the 2nd request in a conversation is part of a stateful multi-turn conversation. The 2nd request asks for information provided in the 1st request. PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

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

$ai = New-Object 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.
$ai.Provider = "google"

#  Use your provider's API key.
$ai.ApiKey = "MY_API_KEY"

#  Choose a model.
$ai.Model = "gemini-3.6-flash"

#  Create a new conversation to be maintained locally in memory.
#  If the conversation is the first to be created, it is also automatically selected.

$conversationName = "test_conversation"
$ai.NewConvo($conversationName,$systemMsg,$developerMsg)

#  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Our first request will establish a secret that we'll ask for in the 2nd request.
#  Add a text input.
$ai.InputAddText("Please remember this: The word I'll ask for later is BlubberFish.  What's the word?")

#  Ask the AI for text output.
$success = $ai.Ask("text")
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($ai.LastErrorText)

#  Note: The inputs accumulated through one or more calls to Input* methods are cleared when the Ask method returns with success.

#  Get the text response.
