AxAgent analyst = Ax.agent(signature, Map.of(
    "contextFields", List.of("codebase"),
    "contextPolicy", Map.of("preset", "adaptive", "budget", "balanced"),
    "contextMap", Map.of("maxChars", 1800, "infiniteEvolve", false, "evolveSteps", 1)));

Run itIn your own project

// Gradle (build.gradle):
implementation 'dev.axllm:ax:22.0.4'
// Maven (pom.xml):
<dependency>
  <groupId>dev.axllm</groupId>
  <artifactId>ax</artifactId>
  <version>22.0.4</version>
</dependency>

import dev.axllm.ax.Ax;

var llm = Ax.ai("openai", Map.of("apiKey", System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")));
var classify = Ax.ax("review:string -> sentiment:class \"positive, negative, neutral\"");

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