Stop wrestling with prompts. Start shipping AI features.
Ax brings DSPy's revolutionary approach to TypeScript – just describe what you want, and let the framework handle the rest. Production-ready, type-safe, and works with all major LLMs.
import { ai, ax } from "@ax-llm/ax";
// 1. Pick any LLM
const llm = ai({ name: "openai", apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_APIKEY! });
// 2. Say what you want
const classifier = ax(
'review:string -> sentiment:class "positive, negative, neutral"',
);
// 3. Get type-safe results
const result = await classifier.forward(llm, {
review: "This product is amazing!",
});
console.log(result.sentiment); // "positive" ✨That's it. No prompt engineering. No trial and error. It works with GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, or any LLM.
Write your logic once. Switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or 15+ providers with one line. No rewrites needed.
Stop tweaking prompts. Define inputs → outputs. The framework generates optimal prompts automatically.
Ax stays in the same latency class as direct provider calls while adding typed outputs, validation, retries, tracing, and tools. Streaming is the default so Ax can parse fields as they arrive, fail early on streaming assertions, cancel bad outputs, and start correction without wasting tokens on completions that are already invalid.
Benchmark the current code against your own providers:
