🚀 Quickstart
🐍 Pure Python
Create a new file demo.py with the following code:
import chainlit as cl
@cl.step(type="tool")
async def tool():
# Fake tool
await cl.sleep(2)
return "Response from the tool!"
@cl.on_message # this function will be called every time a user inputs a message in the UI
async def main(message: cl.Message):
"""
This function is called every time a user inputs a message in the UI.
It sends back an intermediate response from the tool, followed by the final answer.
Args:
message: The user's message.
Returns:
None.
"""
# Call the tool
tool_res = await tool()
await cl.Message(content=tool_res).send()
Now run it!
chainlit run demo.py -w
