# 🧠 ApexChat: AI-Driven Text Responses

ApexChat empowers your application to generate intelligent, customizable chat responses. With built-in memory retention and role-playing features, ApexChat is designed for engaging and dynamic conversations, making it a versatile solution for text-based AI interactions.

First, import the ApexChat function from the apexify.js library:

const { ApexChat } = require('apexify.js'); 

import { ApexChat } from 'apexify.js'; 

ApexChat allows you to generate text-based responses using a variety of AI models. You can enable memory for chat history tracking and give the AI specific instructions to shape its behavior, such as acting in different roles or personalities.

const model = 'gemini'; // AI model (e.g., 'gemini', 'v3', etc.)
const prompt = 'Hey, how are you?'; // The user prompt
const chatOptions = {
  userId: '12345',        // Unique identifier for memory (e.g., user, server, or channel ID)
  memory: true,           // Enable memory to store conversation context
  limit: 12,              // Number of previous messages to recall (memory limit)
  instruction: 'You are a friendly assistant.', // Custom instruction for AI role-playing
  Api_key: 'your-optional-Api-key' // (Optional) Use your own API key
};

const chatResponse = await ApexChat(model, prompt, chatOptions);
console.log(chatResponse); // Logs the AI-generated text response

Here are the key parameters you can use to customize ApexChat:

Enable memory to allow the AI to remember past interactions. Customize how much history is retained by adjusting the limit.

Set up custom instructions to make the AI act as a particular character or take on a specific personality. For instance, you can make the AI respond like a helpful assistant or simulate an entirely different role.

You can provide your own API key for the AI model, but all models come with their own default keys. If you'd like to use a specific key for any reason (e.g., rate limits or custom models), you can easily configure it.

1. Input your AI model: Choose from available models like 'gemini', 'v3', etc.
2. Provide a prompt: The AI will respond based on the input you give.
3. Optional memory and instructions: Enable memory to make the AI recall past interactions, and provide custom instructions to control the AI’s role.
4. API Key: Optional, but if provided, it will override the default key.

const model = 'v3'; // Using the 'v3' chat model
const prompt = 'Tell me a story about a brave knight.'; // Custom user prompt
const chatOptions = {
  userId: 'guild-5678',     // Use a guild or channel ID for group-specific memory
  memory: true,             // Enable memory to retain the conversation context
  limit: 5,                 // Recall the last 5 messages from memory
  instruction: 'You are a storyteller. Speak in a medieval style.', // Custom instruction
  Api_key: ''               // Optional API key if using a custom model
};

const storyResponse = await ApexChat(model, prompt, chatOptions);
console.log(storyResponse); // AI-generated story based on custom instructions

• Flexible Memory: Adjust how much of the conversation the AI should remember by setting a limit.
• Dynamic Roles: The instruction parameter lets you define a role for the AI, making it adaptable to different use cases.
• User-Controlled API Keys: Though models come with preconfigured keys, you can easily provide your own API key to override the defaults.

• AI Models: The most popular models like 'gemini', 'v3', and others are available. Choose based on your needs.
• Memory & Role-Playing: Create rich, engaging conversations with the AI that can simulate personalities or stick to predefined instructions.
• Optional API Key: Use this only if you have specific requirements for using your own API keys with the AI models.

💡 Pro Tip: For more interactive chat experiences, experiment with role-playing characters using the instruction field! The AI can take on different personas, adding depth to your conversations.
