Interacting with API


The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) defines a standard, language-agnostic interface to HTTP APIs. The goal of this use case is to have the LLM automatically figure out which API to call, while still having a stateful conversation with user.

OpenAPI Chain

  1. In this tutorial, we are going to use Klarna OpenAPI

  1. However, if you want to have a normal conversation chat, it is not able to do so. You will see the following error:

Tool Agent + OpenAPI Chain

In order to solve the above error, we can use Agent.

  1. Connect OpenAPI Chain with a Chain Tool. This allow the chain to be used as tool. Under the tool, we give an appropriate description as in when should the LLM uses this tool. For example:
useful when you need to search and return answer about tshirts
  1. Connect the Chain Tool with a Tool Agent:
  1. Let's try it!

Conclusion

We've successfully created an agent that can interact with API when necessary, and still be able handle stateful conversations with users. Below is the template:
