Providers and Their Features

1. Phind (Recommended for Programming)

const phind = createPhindChat();

// Supports context and model options
const response = await phind.chat("What is JavaScript?", {
  model: "Phind-70B",  // Optional, default is "Phind-70B"
  previousMessages: [   // Optional, for conversation context
    { role: "user", content: "Let's talk about programming" },
    { role: "assistant", content: "Sure! What would you like to know?" }
  ]
});

2. DuckDuckGo (Recommended for General Knowledge)

const ddg = createDuckDuckGoChat();

// Supports model selection but NOT context
const response = await ddg.chat("What is Python?", {
  model: "gpt-4o-mini"  // Optional, default is "gpt-4o-mini"
  // Note: DuckDuckGo doesn't support previousMessages
});

3. Blackbox (Recommended for Code Generation)

const blackbox = createBlackboxChat();

// Supports context and token limit
const response = await blackbox.chat("Write a function", {
  maxTokens: 1024,      // Optional, control response length
  previousMessages: [   // Optional, for conversation context
    { role: "user", content: "Let's write some code" },
    { role: "assistant", content: "Sure, what would you like to create?" }
  ]
});

Error Handling

  const response = await phind.chat("Hello");
  console.log(response);

  console.error("Error:", error);
}

Best Practices

1. Phind

   • Best for programming questions
   • Good with technical context
   • Supports conversation history

2. DuckDuckGo

   • Use for single, standalone questions
   • Good for general knowledge
   • Don't use previousMessages with this provider

3. Blackbox

   • Excellent for code generation
   • Good with context
   • Use maxTokens to control response length

Limitations

• DuckDuckGo doesn't support conversation context
• Response times may vary between providers
• Rate limiting may apply
• Internet connection required
