Creating Conversations

Basic Conversation Creation

Creating a conversation is the first step to building any conversational AI application. Every conversation requires settings that define its behavior and capabilities.

from noxus_sdk.client import Client
from noxus_sdk.resources.conversations import ConversationSettings

client = Client(api_key="your_api_key_here")

# Basic conversation settings
settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o-mini"],
    temperature=0.7,
    max_tokens=300,
    extra_instructions="You are a helpful assistant."
)

# Create the conversation
conversation = client.conversations.create(
    name="My First Conversation",
    settings=settings
)

print(f"Created conversation: {conversation.id}")

Configuration Options

Model Selection

Choose the appropriate AI model for your use case:

# Single model
settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o-mini"]  # Fast and cost-effective
)

# Multiple models (fallback order)
settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o", "gpt-4o-mini"]  # Try GPT-4o first, fallback to mini
)

# Different models for different purposes
creative_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o"],  # More creative and capable
    temperature=0.8
)

factual_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o-mini"],  # Fast for factual queries
    temperature=0.2
)

Temperature and Creativity

Control the randomness and creativity of responses:

# Very deterministic (good for factual content)
factual_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o-mini"],
    temperature=0.0,  # Most deterministic
    extra_instructions="Provide factual, consistent answers."
)

# Balanced (good for general conversation)
balanced_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o-mini"],
    temperature=0.7,  # Balanced creativity
    extra_instructions="Be helpful and engaging."
)

# Creative (good for content generation)
creative_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o"],
    temperature=0.9,  # Most creative
    extra_instructions="Be creative and think outside the box."
)

Token Limits

Control response length and cost:

# Short responses
concise_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o-mini"],
    max_tokens=100,  # Brief responses
    extra_instructions="Keep responses under 50 words."
)

# Medium responses
standard_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o-mini"],
    max_tokens=500,  # Standard length
    extra_instructions="Provide comprehensive but concise answers."
)

# Long responses
detailed_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o"],
    max_tokens=1500,  # Detailed responses
    extra_instructions="Provide thorough, detailed explanations."
)

Adding Tools

Tools extend conversation capabilities beyond basic text generation:

Web Research Tool

from noxus_sdk.resources.conversations import WebResearchTool

web_tool = WebResearchTool(
    enabled=True,
    extra_instructions="Focus on recent, reliable sources. Always cite sources."
)

research_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o-mini"],
    temperature=0.4,
    max_tokens=600,
    tools=[web_tool],
    extra_instructions="Use web research when you need current information."
)

research_bot = client.conversations.create(
    name="Research Assistant",
    settings=research_settings
)

Knowledge Base Integration

from noxus_sdk.resources.conversations import KnowledgeBaseQaTool

# Single knowledge base
kb_tool = KnowledgeBaseQaTool(
    enabled=True,
    kb_id="your_knowledge_base_id",
    extra_instructions="Provide detailed answers with specific references."
)

# Multiple knowledge bases with selector
from noxus_sdk.resources.conversations import KnowledgeBaseSelectorTool

kb_selector = KnowledgeBaseSelectorTool(
    enabled=True,
    extra_instructions="Choose the most relevant knowledge base for each query."
)

kb_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o-mini"],
    temperature=0.3,
    tools=[kb_tool, kb_selector],
    extra_instructions="Always check knowledge bases first for company-specific information."
)

support_bot = client.conversations.create(

        "description": "Analyze datasets and generate insights"
    },
    name="Data Analysis",
    description="Run data analysis on uploaded files"
)

analyst_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o"],
    temperature=0.4,
    tools=[workflow_tool],
    extra_instructions="Use the data analysis workflow for any data-related requests."

Advanced Configuration

Multi-Tool Conversations

from noxus_sdk.resources.conversations import (
    WebResearchTool,
    KnowledgeBaseQaTool,
    WorkflowTool,
    NoxusQaTool
)

# Comprehensive assistant with multiple capabilities
multi_tool_settings = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o"],
    temperature=0.6,
    max_tokens=600,
    tools=[
        WebResearchTool(

)

versatile_assistant = client.conversations.create(
    name="Versatile Assistant",
    settings=multi_tool_settings
)

Conversation with Agent

Create conversations that use pre-configured agents:

# First, get an existing agent
agent = client.agents.get("agent_id_here")

# Create conversation using the agent's settings
agent_conversation = client.conversations.create(
    name="Chat with Agent",
    agent_id=agent.id  # Uses agent's settings automatically
)

# No need to specify settings - they come from the agent
print(f"Created conversation with agent: {agent.name}")

Asynchronous Creation

For high-performance applications:

import asyncio

async def create_multiple_conversations():
    client = Client(api_key="your_api_key_here")

    # Define different conversation types
    conversation_configs = [
        {
            "name": "Support Bot",
            "settings": ConversationSettings(
                model=["gpt-4o-mini"],
                temperature=0.3,
                tools=[KnowledgeBaseQaTool(enabled=True, kb_id="support_kb")]
            )
        },
        {
            "name": "Content Creator",
            "settings": ConversationSettings(
                model=["gpt-4o"],
                temperature=0.7,
                tools=[WebResearchTool(enabled=True)]
            )
        },
        {
            "name": "Data Analyst",
            "settings": ConversationSettings(
                model=["gpt-4o"],
                temperature=0.4,
                tools=[WorkflowTool(
                    enabled=True,
                    workflow={"id": "analysis_workflow", "name": "Analyzer"}
                )]
            )
        }
    ]

    # Create all conversations concurrently
    tasks = [
        client.conversations.acreate(
            name=config["name"],
            settings=config["settings"]
        )
        for config in conversation_configs
    ]

    conversations = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

    return conversations

# Create conversations asynchronously
conversations = asyncio.run(create_multiple_conversations())
for conv in conversations:
    print(f"Created: {conv.name} (ID: {conv.id})")

Validation and Testing

Validate Settings

def validate_conversation_settings(settings):
    """Validate conversation settings before creation"""

    # Check required fields
    if not settings.model:
        raise ValueError("Model is required")

    # Validate temperature range
    if not 0.0 <= settings.temperature <= 1.0:
        raise ValueError("Temperature must be between 0.0 and 1.0")

    # Validate max_tokens
    if settings.max_tokens <= 0:
        raise ValueError("max_tokens must be positive")

    # Check tool configuration
    for tool in settings.tools:
        if hasattr(tool, 'kb_id') and not tool.kb_id:
            raise ValueError("Knowledge base tool requires kb_id")

    return True

# Use validation
try:
    validate_conversation_settings(settings)
    conversation = client.conversations.create(name="Test", settings=settings)
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Invalid settings: {e}")

Test Conversation

def test_conversation(conversation, test_messages):
    """Test a conversation with sample messages"""

    results = []

    for message_text in test_messages:
        try:
            message = MessageRequest(content=message_text)
            response = conversation.add_message(message)

            results.append({
                "input": message_text,
                "output": response.message_parts,
                "success": True
            })

        except Exception as e:
            results.append({
                "input": message_text,
                "output": str(e),
                "success": False
            })

    return results

# Test the conversation
test_messages = [
    "Hello, how can you help me?",
    "What's the weather like today?",
    "Can you help me write a blog post?"
]

test_results = test_conversation(support_bot, test_messages)
for result in test_results:
    status = "✅" if result["success"] else "❌"
    print(f"{status} {result['input'][:30]}... -> {result['output'][:50]}...")

Best Practices

Naming Conventions

Use descriptive names for conversations:

# ✅ Good - descriptive and purposeful
conversation = client.conversations.create(
    name="Customer Support - Product Questions",
    settings=settings
)

# ❌ Bad - generic and unclear
conversation = client.conversations.create(
    name="Bot 1",
    settings=settings
)

Settings Organization

Create reusable settings configurations:

# Define common settings
SUPPORT_SETTINGS = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o-mini"],
    temperature=0.3,
    max_tokens=400,
    extra_instructions="Be helpful and empathetic"
)

CREATIVE_SETTINGS = ConversationSettings(
    model=["gpt-4o"],
    temperature=0.8,
    max_tokens=800,
    extra_instructions="Be creative and engaging"
)

# Use predefined settings
support_bot = client.conversations.create(
    name="Support Bot",
    settings=SUPPORT_SETTINGS
)

Tool Selection

Only enable tools that are needed:

# ✅ Good - specific tools for specific purposes
support_tools = [
    KnowledgeBaseQaTool(enabled=True, kb_id="support_kb")
]

research_tools = [
    WebResearchTool(enabled=True),
    KnowledgeBaseQaTool(enabled=True, kb_id="research_kb")
]

# ❌ Bad - too many tools without clear purpose
all_tools = [web_tool, kb_tool1, kb_tool2, workflow_tool, noxus_tool]
