Describe inputs and outputs in one line

You can describe an ordinary typed contract in one readable line. Inputs go before the arrow and outputs go after it.

See the idea in context

from axllm import s

sig = s('email:string -> priority:class "high, normal, low"')
  1. Declare the source value

    email is the string your application passes in.

  2. List the result fields

    The output side combines a string, an array, and a boolean.

  3. Call it like a typed program

    Ax uses this declaration to prompt, parse, and validate the response.

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.
