Creating Sessions
Create a session to maintain conversation context:session = client.sessions.create(
agent_id=agent.id,
user_id=user.id, # Optional
context_overflow="adaptive", # or "truncate" or "summarize"
metadata={
"channel": "web",
"language": "english"
}
)
Session Chat
Interact with an agent through a session:# Single message
response = client.sessions.chat(
session_id=session.id,
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What can you help me with?"
}
]
)
# Multiple messages in a conversation
response = client.sessions.chat(
session_id=session.id,
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "I need help with research"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I can help you with that. What topic would you like to research?"
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Let's research quantum computing"
}
]
)
Managing Session Context
# Get session history
history = client.sessions.history(
session_id=session.id,
limit=10,
before=datetime.now()
)
# Update session context
session = client.sessions.update(
session_id=session.id,
metadata={"topic": "quantum computing"}
)
# Clear session history
client.sessions.clear(session_id=session.id)
Session Documents
Manage documents associated with a session:# Add a document to the session
doc = client.sessions.docs.create(
session_id=session.id,
title="Research Notes",
content="Notes about quantum computing...",
metadata={"type": "notes"}
)
# Search session documents
results = client.sessions.docs.search(
session_id=session.id,
text="quantum",
metadata_filter={"type": "notes"}
)
# Delete a session document
client.sessions.docs.delete(
session_id=session.id,
doc_id=doc.id
)
Session Management
# List sessions
sessions = client.sessions.list(
agent_id=agent.id,
user_id=user.id, # Optional
limit=10,
offset=0
)
# Get session details
session = client.sessions.get(session_id=session.id)
# Delete a session
client.sessions.delete(session_id=session.id)
Error Handling
from julep.exceptions import JulepError, SessionNotFoundError
try:
session = client.sessions.get("nonexistent_id")
except SessionNotFoundError:
print("Session not found")
except JulepError as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
Working with Context Overflow
Julep provides different strategies for handling context overflow:# Adaptive context handling (default)
session = client.sessions.create(
agent_id=agent.id,
context_overflow="adaptive"
)
# Truncate old messages
session = client.sessions.create(
agent_id=agent.id,
context_overflow="truncate"
)
# Summarize old messages
session = client.sessions.create(
agent_id=agent.id,
context_overflow="summarize"
)
