AI: Simple Stateless Query

See more AI Examples

Demonstrates the simplest stateless query: asking an AI to "Say Hello". This query is standalone and not part of a conversation. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const ai = try chilkat.Ai.init();
    defer ai.deinit();

    // The provider can be "openai", "google", "claude", "deepseek", "xai", or "perplexity".
    // Support for additional providers will be added in future versions of Chilkat.
    ai.setProvider("openai");

    // Use your provider's API key.
    ai.setApiKey("MY_API_KEY");

    // Choose a model.
    ai.setModel("gpt-5.6-terra");

    // Add a text input.
    ai.inputAddText("Say Hello.") catch {};
