Firebase Genkit

Key capabilities

See the following code samples for a concrete idea of how to use these capabilities in code:

import { generate } from `@genkit-ai/ai`;
import { gemini15Flash, claude3Sonnet, llama31 } from '@genkit-ai/vertexai';
import { gpt4o } from 'genkitx-openai';

// Use the same API to generate content from many models
const result = await generate({
    model: gemini15Flash, // Or use claude3Sonnet, llama31, gpt4o
    prompt: 'What makes you the best LLM out there?',
});

import { generate } from `@genkit-ai/ai`;
import { gemini15Flash } from `@genkit-ai/googleai`;
import { z } from `zod`;

const result = await generate({
    model: gemini15Flash,
    prompt: 'Create a brief profile for a character in a fantasy video game.',
    // Specify output structure using Zod schema
    output: {
        schema: z.object({
            name: z.string(),
            role: z.enum(['knight', 'mage', 'archer']),
            backstory: z.string(),
            attacks: z.array(z.object({
              name: z.string(),
              damage: z.number().describe('amount of damage, between 2 and 25'),
            })).describe('3 attacks the character can use')
        })
    }
});

import { generate, defineTool } from `@genkit-ai/ai`;
import { gemini15Flash } from `@genkit-ai/googleai`;
import { z } from `zod`;

// Define tool to get weather data for a given location
const lookupWeather = defineTool({
    name: 'lookupWeather',
    description: 'Get the current weather in a location.',
    // Define input and output schema so the model knows how to use the tool
    inputSchema: z.object({
        location: z.string().describe('The location to get the weather for.'),
    }),
    outputSchema: z.object({
        temperature: z.number().describe('The current temperature in Fahrenheit.'),
        condition: z.string().describe('A brief description of the weather conditions.'),
    }),
    async (input) => {
        // Insert weather lookup API code
    }
});

const result = await generate({
    model: gemini15Flash,
    tools: [lookupWeather], // Give the model a list of tools it can call
    prompt: 'What is the weather like in New York? ',
});

import { generate, retrieve } from `@genkit-ai/ai`;
import { devLocalRetrieverRef } from '@genkit-ai/dev-local-vectorstore';
import { gemini15Flash } from `@genkit-ai/googleai`;

// Sample assumes Genkit documentation has been chunked, stored, and indexed in 
// local vectorstore in previous step.

// Reference to a local vector database storing Genkit documentation
const retriever = devLocalRetrieverRef('genkitQA');

const query = 'How do I retrieve relevant documents in Genkit?'

// Consistent API to retrieve most relevant documents based on semantic similarity to query
const docs = await retrieve({
    retriever: retriever,
    query: query,
    options: { limit: 5 },
});

const result = await generate({
    model: gemini15Flash
    prompt: 'Use the provided context from the Genkit documentation to answer this query: ${query}',
    context: docs // Pass retrieved documents to the model
});
