Turn 1: const customers = await crm.list(); console.log(customers.length);
Turn 2: const active = customers.filter(c => c.active); console.log(active.length);

Run itIn your own project

npm install @ax-llm/ax

import { ai, ax } from '@ax-llm/ax';

const llm = ai({ name: 'openai', apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_APIKEY! });
const classify = ax('review:string -> sentiment:class "positive, negative, neutral"');

const result = await classify.forward(llm, {
  review: 'Useful and boring in the best way.',
});

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