step = ax('request:string -> route:class "support, sales, engineering"')
program = (
    flow({"id": "supportRouter"})
    .execute("classify", step)
    .returns({"route": "classify"})
)

Run itIn your own project

pip install axllm

from axllm import ai, ax

llm = ai('openai', api_key=os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'])
classify = ax('review:string -> sentiment:class "positive, negative, neutral"')

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