See the idea in context

let answer = ax("question:string -> answer:string")?;
  1. Carry relevant memory

    mem supplies conversation context owned by your application.

  2. Request candidates

    sampleCount asks for three possible results instead of one.

  3. Select with a rule

    resultPicker turns extra samples into a deliberate quality choice.

Run itIn your own project
cargo add axllm

use axllm::{ai, ax};
use serde_json::json;

let llm = ai("openai", json!({"apiKey": std::env::var("OPENAI_API_KEY")?}))?;
let classify = ax("review:string -> sentiment:class \"positive, negative, neutral\"")?;

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