Getting Started

All you need to start creating right now!

Welcome to the Getting Started guide for defining the workflow of your GenAI application using PSL (Protocol Specification Language). In this guide, we'll cover the foundational elements you'll use: ask, display, and prompt.

1. ask Section

The ask section prompts the app user for input.

[ask.VAR_NAME]
description = What is your VAR_NAME?

Notes:

• Substitute VAR_NAME with your own variable name, and edit the description accordingly.

• In subsequent sections, user input can be accessed via {{input.VAR_NAME}}.

For instance, if you'd like to ask the user for their name:

[ask.name]
description = What is your name?

2. display Section

The display section presents content to the app user in various formats.

[display]
text = <message_to_display>

Notes:

• Messages can include:

  • User input from an ask section: {{input.<previous_user_input>}}.

  • Response from a prompt section: {{response.<previous_prompt>}}.

• To use different formats, options include audio = , video = , markdown = , image = , etc.

3. prompt Section

The prompt section uses an AI model or in-house function to generate a response.

[prompt.do_something]
model_name = gpt-4
system_role = <system role here>
message = <enter your message>
display = True

Notes:

• Within your message, you can reference:

  • User input from an ask section: {{input.<previous_user_input>}}.

  • Response from another prompt section: {{response.<previous_prompt>}}.

• The response from this prompt can be accessed using {{response.do_something}} elsewhere in the PSL.

• If display = True, the AI's response will be automatically displayed to the user.

• Here system_role and message are model specific attributes. Model GPT-4 requires these two to be specified. We will provide a list of attributes supported by each model later.
