assistant := axllm.NewAgent("message:string -> reply:string", map[string]axllm.Value{
  "functions": axllm.Array(search),
  "contextFields": []axllm.Value{},
})
Run itIn your own project
go get github.com/ax-llm/ax/packages/go

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    "os"

    axllm "github.com/ax-llm/ax/packages/go"
)

func main() {
    client := axllm.NewAI("openai", map[string]axllm.Value{"apiKey": os.Getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")})
    classify := axllm.NewAx("review:string -> sentiment:class \"positive, negative, neutral\"", nil)
    result, err := classify.Forward(context.Background(), client, map[string]axllm.Value{
        "review": "Useful and boring in the best way."
    }, nil)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fmt.Println("sentiment:", result.(map[string]axllm.Value)["sentiment"])
}

Set OPENAI_APIKEY in your environment before running provider-backed code.
