from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor, create_openai_tools_agent
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
from langchain_polaris import PolarisSearchTool, PolarisBriefTool, PolarisCompareTool

tools = [
    PolarisSearchTool(api_key="pr_live_xxx"),
    PolarisBriefTool(api_key="pr_live_xxx"),
    PolarisCompareTool(api_key="pr_live_xxx"),
]

prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
    ("system", "You are a news research assistant with access to verified intelligence."),
    ("human", "{input}"),
    ("placeholder", "{agent_scratchpad}"),
])

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")
agent = create_openai_tools_agent(llm, tools, prompt)
executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=tools)

result = executor.invoke({"input": "What's happening with AI regulation?"})
print(result["output"])

Retriever for RAG

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnablePassthrough

retriever = PolarisRetriever(
    api_key="pr_live_xxx",
    category="ai_ml",
    min_confidence=0.7,
    limit=5,
)

prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(
    "Answer based on these verified news briefs:\n\n{context}\n\nQuestion: {question}"

chain = (
    {"context": retriever, "question": RunnablePassthrough()}

    | ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")
    | StrOutputParser()
)

print(chain.invoke("What are the latest developments in AI?"))
