FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

The Sidekick Playground

After the .env is updated you can start testing the plugin. I have added some routes with example calls for you to try out or learn from.

You can also publish these to your routes and views directory to directly modify with the following commands:

Documentation

For the documentation we will be using the OpenAi model as it supports all endpoints, where Claude and Mistral are supported you can just hot-swap OpenAi when initialising the Sidekick/SidekickConversation class.

Sidekick Conversations

This allows you to create a chatbot that remembers previos interactions.

To start a new conversation:

This will create a new conversation in the Database and make the call to the AI for a response.

An example of the formatted response can be found below:

Once you have this response, to continue the conversation you can write the following in your controller making sure to pass the conversation_id in the request:

An example of the formatted response can be found below:

Managing Sidekick Conversations

There is very basic functionality to list, show and delete conversations. This will be updated in the near future. However, currently you do this by calling an instance of SidekickChatManager. Examples of each are below:

Completion

Embedding

Image (Image From Text)

Audio (Text To Speech)

Transcription (Speech To Text)

Example Response

Moderation

This is a service where you feed it text from a comment for example and it will return with an array of boolean values for certain moderation points.

Example Response

[!NOTE]
Quick note on error handling. Currently, if there is an error it is printed as the AI responds. I will be updating this over the next few days to be uniformed so that all errors are presented in tha same way regardless of AI driver/model
