This guide is minimalistic and designed to quickly set you up to chat with the agent. It does not cover all the features that Julep agents and sessions provide. For more advanced usage, please check out the Agents and Sessions concepts.
Step 1: Initialize the Julep Client
First, you need to initialize the Julep client with your API key.
from julep import Julep
julep = Julep(api_key="your_api_key")
Step 2: Create an Agent
Create an agent with specific instructions
and a model
. This agent will be used in the session.
agent = julep.agents.create(
name="Chat Buddy",
about="A friendly and helpful chatbot",
instructions=[
"Be friendly and engaging.",
"Be helpful and provide useful information.",
"Be concise and to the point.",
"Do not format your responses. Keep them as plain text.",
],
model="gpt-4o-mini",
)
Step 3: Create a Session
Create a session with the agent, specifying a situation
to provide more context for the session.
session = julep.sessions.create(
agent=agent.id,
situation="User wants to have a casual chat about hobbies.",
)
Step 4: Chat with the Agent
Send a message with a user
role to the session to trigger the agent to send a response.
response = julep.sessions.chat(
session_id=session.id,
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Hi there! What are some fun hobbies to try out?"
}
]
)
print("Agent's Response:")
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
