Turn a prompt into a reliable program

You describe what goes in and what must come out, so your app stops parsing model prose. Ax turns that contract into the prompt and validation loop.

See the idea in context

qa := axllm.NewAx("question:string -> answer:string, confidence:number", nil)
  1. Name the input

    review is the value your application supplies.

  2. Constrain the output

    sentiment can only be one of the three declared classes.

  3. Keep the contract reusable

    The same program can be tested, traced, and improved without changing its call site.

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.
