var success = false;

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

var ai = new CkAi();

//  OpenAI is currently the only AI provider that supports referencing a pre-uploaded image by file_id
//  in a request for text generation.
ai.Provider = "openai";

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

//  Choose a model.
ai.Model = "gpt-5.6-luna";

//  See the following example showing how to upload a file
//  Upload an Image File to an AI Provider

//  Use the file_id of the pre-uploaded file.
var file_id = "file-5CnBeuFasqNcAfti3cx4Fe";
ai.InputAddImageFileId(file_id,"application/json");

ai.InputAddText("What is in this image?");

//  Ask the AI for text output.
success = ai.Ask("text");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(ai.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Get the text response.
var sbResponse = new CkStringBuilder();
ai.GetOutputTextSb(sbResponse);
console.log(sbResponse.GetAsString());
