Installation

Usage

Basic Usage

The main way to interact with Rowboat is using the Client class, which provides a stateless chat API. You can manage conversation state using the conversationId returned in each response.

from rowboat.client import Client
from rowboat.schema import UserMessage

# Initialize the client
client = Client(
    host="<HOST>",
    projectId="<PROJECT_ID>",
    apiKey="<API_KEY>"
)

# Start a new conversation
result = client.run_turn(
    messages=[
        UserMessage(role='user', content="list my github repos")
    ]
)
print(result.turn.output[-1].content)
print("Conversation ID:", result.conversationId)

# Continue the conversation by passing the conversationId
result = client.run_turn(
    messages=[
        UserMessage(role='user', content="how many did you find?")
    ],
    conversationId=result.conversationId
)
print(result.turn.output[-1].content)

Using Tool Overrides (Mock Tools)

You can provide tool override instructions to test a specific configuration using the mockTools argument:

result = client.run_turn(
    messages=[
        UserMessage(role='user', content="What's the weather?")
    ],
    mockTools={
        "weather_lookup": "The weather in any city is sunny and 25°C.",
        "calculator": "The result of any calculation is 42."
    }
)
print(result.turn.output[-1].content)

Message Types

You can use different message types as defined in rowboat.schema, such as UserMessage, SystemMessage, etc. See schema.py for all available message types.

Error Handling

If the API returns a non-200 status code, a ValueError will be raised with the error details.
