'  Support for additional providers will be added in future versions of Chilkat.
ai.Provider = "openai"

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

'  Choose a model.
ai.Model = "gpt-5.6-terra"

'  Add a text input.
ai.InputAddText("Say Hello.")

'  Ask the AI for text output.
success = ai.Ask("text")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ai.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  Get the text response.
Dim sbResponse As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
ai.GetOutputTextSb(sbResponse)
Debug.WriteLine(sbResponse.GetAsString())
