-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local ai = chilkat.Ai.new()

ai.verbose_logging = true

ai.provider = "google"
ai.api_key = "MY_API_KEY"
ai.model = "gemini-3.6-flash"

-- Note: Not all models support all params.

-- Set Ask params.
local askParams = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
askParams:update_number("temperature", "1.2")
askParams:update_string("effort", "low")
askParams:update_int("max_output_tokens", 1024)

askParams.emit_compact = false
print(askParams:emit())

ai:set_ask_params(askParams)

-- Add a text input.
ai:input_add_text("Say Hello.")

-- Ask the AI for text output.
local success = ai:ask("text")
if not success then
    print(ai.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Get the text response.
local sbResponse = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
ai:get_output_text_sb(sbResponse)
print(sbResponse:get_as_string())

-- Sample output:
