- **🔒 Type Safety** - Full TypeScript support with Zod schema validation
- **🧠 Active Learning** - Learn from examples and improve over time
- **⚡ Performance** - Built-in retries, caching, and error handling
- **♾️ Infinite Documents** - Handle any document size with automatic chunking
- **📊 Usage Tracking** - Monitor tokens, costs, and performance
## 📦 Installation
```bash
npm install @botpress/zai @botpress/client @bpinternal/zui
```
## 🚀 Quick Start
```typescript
import { Client } from '@botpress/client'
import { Zai } from '@botpress/zai'
import { z } from '@bpinternal/zui'
// Initialize
const client = new Client({ botId: 'YOUR_BOT_ID', token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' })
const zai = new Zai({ client })
// Extract structured data
const person = await zai.extract(
'John Doe is 30 years old and lives in New York',
z.object({
name: z.string(),
age: z.number(),
location: z.string(),
})
)
// Result: { name: 'John Doe', age: 30, location: 'New York' }
// Check content
const isPositive = await zai.check('This product is amazing!', 'expresses positive sentiment')
// Result: true
// Generate text
const story = await zai.text('Write a short story about AI', { length: 200 })
// Summarize documents
const summary = await zai.summarize(longDocument, { length: 500 })
```
## 📚 Core Operations
### 1. Extract - Get structured data from text
```typescript
// Extract single object
const product = await zai.extract(
text,
z.object({
name: z.string(),
price: z.number(),
inStock: z.boolean(),
})
)
// Extract array of items
const products = await zai.extract(text, z.array(productSchema))
```
### 2. Check - Verify boolean conditions
```typescript
const result = await zai.check(email, 'is spam')
const { value, explanation } = await result.full()
```
### 3. Label - Apply multiple labels
```typescript
const labels = await zai.label(review, {
positive: 'expresses positive sentiment',
technical: 'mentions technical details',
verified: 'from verified purchaser',
})
// Result: { positive: true, technical: false, verified: true }
```
### 4. Rewrite - Transform text
```typescript
// Translate
const french = await zai.rewrite(text, 'translate to French')
// Change tone
const formal = await zai.rewrite('Hey! What's up?', 'make it professional')
```
### 5. Filter - Filter arrays with natural language
```typescript
const techCompanies = await zai.filter(companies, 'are technology companies')
const recentPosts = await zai.filter(posts, 'were published this week')
```
### 6. Group - Organize items into categories
```typescript
// Group items automatically
const grouped = await zai.group(tasks, {
instructions: 'Group by priority level',
})
// Result: { 'High Priority': [...], 'Medium Priority': [...], 'Low Priority': [...] }
// Group with initial categories
const categorized = await zai.group(emails, {
instructions: 'Group by topic',
initialGroups: [
{ id: 'work', label: 'Work' },
{ id: 'personal', label: 'Personal' },
],
})
// Group large datasets efficiently
const organized = await zai.group(largeArray, {
instructions: 'Group by date',
chunkLength: 8000, // Process in chunks for better performance
})
```
### 7. Rate - Score items on a 1-5 scale
```typescript
// Auto-generate criteria (returns total score)
const scores = await zai.rate(products, 'is it a good value product?')
// Result: [12, 8, 15] (total scores for each item)
// Get detailed ratings
const { output } = await zai.rate(products, 'is it a good value product?').result()
// Result: [
// { affordability: 4, quality: 5, features: 3, total: 12 },
// { affordability: 3, quality: 2, features: 3, total: 8 },
// ...
// ]
// Use fixed criteria
const ratings = await zai.rate(passwords, {
length: 'password length (12+ chars = very_good, 8-11 = good, 6-7 = average, 4-5 = bad, <4 = very_bad)',
complexity: 'character variety (all types = very_good, 3 types = good, 2 types = average, 1 type = bad)',
strength: 'overall password strength',
})
// Result: [
// { length: 5, complexity: 5, strength: 5, total: 15 },
// { length: 1, complexity: 1, strength: 1, total: 3 },
// ]
// Rate large datasets efficiently (parallelized)
const allRatings = await zai.rate(Array(500).fill(item), 'how complete is this?')
// Processes ~500 items in ~120ms with automatic chunking
```
### 8. Sort - Order items with natural language
```typescript
// Sort by natural criteria
const sorted = await zai.sort(emails, 'sort by urgency')
// LLM determines criteria and orders items accordingly
// Sort with detailed results
const { output } = await zai.sort(tasks, 'sort by priority').result()
// output includes scoring breakdown for each item
// Complex multi-criteria sorting
const prioritized = await zai.sort(tickets, 'sort by customer importance and issue severity')
// Sort large datasets efficiently (parallelized with chunking)
const orderedItems = await zai.sort(Array(500).fill(item), 'sort by relevance')
```
### 9. Text - Generate content
```typescript
const blogPost = await zai.text('Write about the future of AI', {
length: 1000,
temperature: 0.7,
})
```
### 10. Summarize - Create summaries
```typescript
// Simple summary
const summary = await zai.summarize(article)
// With custom prompt
const technicalSummary = await zai.summarize(paper, {
length: 500,
prompt: 'Focus on technical implementation details',
})
```
## 🧠 Active Learning
Enable active learning to improve accuracy over time:
```typescript
const zai = new Zai({
client,
activeLearning: {
enable: true,
tableName: 'ai_learning_data',
taskId: 'sentiment-analysis',
},
})
// Use with task ID for learning
const result = await zai.learn('sentiment-analysis').check(text, 'is positive')
```
## ⚙️ Configuration
### Model Selection
```typescript
// Use the best model (default)
const zai = new Zai({ client, model: 'best' })
// Use fast model for speed
const fastZai = new Zai({ client, model: 'fast' })
// Use specific model
const customZai = new Zai({ client, model: 'gpt-4-turbo' })
```
### Progress Tracking
```typescript
const response = zai.summarize(veryLongDocument)
// Track progress
response.on('progress', (progress) => {
console.log(`${progress.percent}% complete`)
})
const summary = await response
```
### Usage Monitoring
```typescript
const result = await zai.extract(text, schema)
const usage = await result.usage()
console.log({
tokens: usage.totalTokens,
cost: usage.totalCost,
latency: usage.totalLatency,
})
```
## 🎯 Benefits
1. **Production Ready** - Built-in error handling, retries, and rate limiting
2. **Type Safe** - Full TypeScript support with runtime validation
3. **Scalable** - Handle documents of any size with automatic chunking
4. **Cost Effective** - Track usage and optimize with active learning
5. **Developer Friendly** - Clean API with method chaining and events
## 📖 Advanced Usage
### Chaining Operations
```typescript
const processedData = await zai.with({ temperature: 0.3 }).learn('data-extraction').extract(document, complexSchema)
```
### Handling Large Documents
```typescript
// Automatically chunks and processes in parallel
const extractedData = await zai.extract(
hugeDocument, // 100k+ tokens
z.array(recordSchema),
{ chunkSize: 4000 }
)
```
### Custom Abort Signals
```typescript
const controller = new AbortController()
const response = zai.summarize(document, { signal: controller.signal })
// Cancel if needed
setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 5000)
```
