Setting Up Functions in Fewzen AI

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up functions for Function Calling in Fewzen AI. By following these steps, you'll be able to extend your AI's capabilities and create more dynamic, powerful conversational experiences.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Functions

Step 1: Define Your Function

Start by defining your function's structure and parameters:

{
  "name": "get_weather",
  "description": "Get the current weather for a specified location",
  "parameters": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "location": {
        "type": "string",
        "description": "The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA"
      },
      "unit": {
        "type": "string",
        "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"],
        "description": "The temperature unit to use"
      }
    },
    "required": ["location"]
  }
}

This JSON structure defines the function name, description, and expected parameters.

Best Practices for Function Setup

Do's

Use clear, descriptive names for functions and parameters
Provide detailed descriptions for each function and parameter
Implement proper error handling and validation
Use type annotations and enums where applicable
Keep functions focused on a single responsibility
Test functions thoroughly with various inputs

Don'ts

Don't use vague or ambiguous function names
Avoid overly complex parameter structures
Don't expose sensitive information or operations
Avoid functions with side effects that change global state
Don't ignore error handling or input validation
Avoid hard-coding values that might change

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

Insufficient Error Handling

Ensure your functions handle errors gracefully and provide meaningful error messages. This helps in debugging and improves the overall user experience.

Overly Broad Functions

Keep your functions focused on specific tasks. If a function tries to do too much, it can become difficult to maintain and may not be called appropriately by the AI.

Inconsistent Data Formats

Ensure your functions return data in a consistent format. This makes it easier for the AI to interpret and use the results in its responses.

Ignoring Performance

Consider the performance implications of your functions, especially if they involve API calls or complex computations. Implement caching or optimization techniques where appropriate.
