Firebase Genkit <> OpenAI Plugin

OpenAI Community Plugin for Google Firebase Genkit

genkitx-openai is a community plugin for using OpenAI APIs with Firebase Genkit. Built by The Fire Company. 🔥

This Genkit plugin allows to use OpenAI models through their official APIs.

Supported models

The plugin supports several OpenAI models:

• GPT-4o, GPT-4 with all its variants (Turbo, Vision), and GPT-3.5 Turbo for text generation;
• DALL-E 3 for image generation;
• Text Embedding Small, Text Embedding Large, and Ada for text embedding generation;
• Whisper for speech recognition;
• Text-to-speech 1 and Text-to-speech 1 HD for speech synthesis.

Installation

Install the plugin in your project with your favorite package manager:

• npm install genkitx-openai
• yarn add genkitx-openai
• pnpm add genkitx-openai

Usage

Basic examples

The simplest way to call the text generation model is by using the helper function generate:

// Basic usage of an LLM
const response = await generate({
  model: gpt4o, // model imported from genkitx-openai
  prompt: 'Tell me a joke.',
});

console.log(await response.text());

Multi-modal prompt

const response = await generate({
  model: gpt4o,
  prompt: [
    { text: 'What animal is in the photo?' },
    { media: { url: imageUrl } },
  ],
  config: {
    // control of the level of visual detail when processing image embeddings
    // Low detail level also decreases the token usage
    visualDetailLevel: 'low',
  },
});
console.log(await response.text());

Within a flow

// ...configure Genkit (as shown above)...

export const myFlow = defineFlow(
  {
    name: 'menuSuggestionFlow',
    inputSchema: z.string(),
    outputSchema: z.string(),
  },
  async (subject) => {
    const llmResponse = await generate({
      prompt: `Suggest an item for the menu of a ${subject} themed restaurant`,
      model: gpt4o,
    });

    return llmResponse.text();
  }
);
startFlowsServer();

Tool use

// ...configure Genkit (as shown above)...

const createReminder = defineTool(
  {
    name: 'createReminder',
    description: 'Use this to create reminders for things in the future',
    inputSchema: z.object({
      time: z
        .string()
        .describe('ISO timestamp string, e.g. 2024-04-03T12:23:00Z'),
      reminder: z.string().describe('the content of the reminder'),
    }),
    outputSchema: z.number().describe('the ID of the created reminder'),
  },
  (reminder) => Promise.resolve(3)
);

const result = generate({
  model: gpt4o,
  tools: [createReminder],
  prompt: `
  You are a reminder assistant.
  If you create a reminder, describe in text the reminder you created as a response.

  Query: I have a meeting with Anna at 3 for dinner - can you set a reminder for the time?
  `,
});

console.log(result.then((res) => res.text()));

For more detailed examples and the explanation of other functionalities, refer to the examples in the official Github repo of the plugin or in the official Genkit documentation.
