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"

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

# Support for additional providers will be added in future versions of Chilkat.
