})
Run itIn your own project
go get github.com/ax-llm/ax/packages/go

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

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)

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