function axProcessContentForProvider(
   content: any, 
   provider: AxAIService, 
options: ProcessingOptions): Promise<ProcessedContent[]>;

Defined in: https://github.com/ax-llm/ax/blob/781623e58befc00a555cf73ccbac598a72bb700c/src/ax/ai/processor.ts#L87

Processes content for a specific AI provider, handling unsupported media types.

This function takes mixed content (text, images, audio, files, URLs) and transforms it to formats supported by the target provider. Unsupported content types are handled according to the fallback behavior:

• ’error’: Throws AxMediaNotSupportedError
• ‘degrade’: Converts to text using fallback services or alt text
• ‘skip’: Omits the unsupported content

Example

const processed = await axProcessContentForProvider(
  [
    { type: 'text', text: 'Analyze this:' },
    { type: 'image', image: 'base64...', altText: 'Chart showing sales data' }
  ],
  textOnlyProvider,
  {
    fallbackBehavior: 'degrade',
    imageToText: async (data) => await visionService.describe(data)
  }
);
// Result for a text-only provider: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Analyze this:' }, { type: 'text', text: 'Chart showing sales data' }]

Parameters

Returns

Promise<ProcessedContent[]>

Promise resolving to processed text and supported native media items

Throws

AxMediaNotSupportedError when fallbackBehavior is ’error’ and content is unsupported

Throws

AxContentProcessingError when a conversion service fails
