See more AI Examples

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

var ai = new CkAi();

// The provider can be "openai", "google", "claude", "grok", or any AI that supports uploading files for later reference by ID.
ai.Provider = "openai";
// Use your provider's API key.
ai.ApiKey = "MY_API_KEY";

// We can upload directly from a file in the filesystem, or from a Chilkat StringBuilder, or from a Chilkat BinData.

// Some AI providers require a content-type.
// Also, some AI providers are picky about what content-type's are accepted.
// Check the AI provider's documentation.
// "application/json" is generally always acceptable.
// "text/plain" can be used as a fallback for any text file.
var contentType = "application/json";
var localFilePath = "qa_data/hamlet.json";
var filenameOnServer = "hamlet.json";

// Upload directly from a file.
var file_id = ai.UploadFile(localFilePath,contentType);
if (ai.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    console.log(ai.LastErrorText);
    console.log("AI File Upload Failed.");
}
else {
    console.log("File ID: " + file_id);
    console.log("File uploaded.");
}

// Upload from the contents of a StringBuilder
var sb = new CkStringBuilder();
success = sb.LoadFile(localFilePath,"utf-8");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(sb.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

file_id = ai.UploadFileSb(sb,filenameOnServer,contentType);
if (ai.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    console.log(ai.LastErrorText);
    console.log("AI File Upload Failed.");
}
else {
    console.log("File ID: " + file_id);
    console.log("File uploaded.");
}

// Upload from the contents of a BinData
var bd = new CkBinData();
success = bd.LoadFile(localFilePath);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(bd.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

file_id = ai.UploadFileBd(bd,filenameOnServer,contentType);
if (ai.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    console.log(ai.LastErrorText);
    console.log("AI File Upload Failed.");
}
else {
    console.log("File ID: " + file_id);
    console.log("File uploaded.");
