examples/ai-chat/README.md
Smallest possible consumer of the published @openclaw/ai package: creates an
isolated runtime, registers the built-in API providers, and streams one
completion. No OpenClaw application code is involved — inside this repo the
workspace link resolves to the package's built dist, the same artifact npm
consumers install, so pnpm build must have run first.
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... node index.mjs "Say hello"
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... node index.mjs --provider openai "Say hello"
# keyless, against a local Ollama server (OLLAMA_MODEL overrides the model id)
node index.mjs --provider ollama "Say hello"
Text deltas stream to stdout; stop reason and token usage go to stderr.
Notes for library consumers:
createLlmRuntime() gives you an isolated registry; nothing is registered
globally by importing the package.registerBuiltInApiProviders(runtime.registry) opts into the eight built-in
transports (Anthropic, OpenAI Completions/Responses, Azure OpenAI, ChatGPT
Responses, Google, Vertex, Mistral). Provider SDK modules load lazily on
first use.configureAiTransportHost; the defaults are inert.node.
