Construye tu primer chatbot de IA

Learn how to build a simple AI chatbot using NovaAI Chat models. By the end of this guide, you'll have a working chatbot capable of receiving user messages and generating intelligent responses.

Overview

In this guide, you'll build a basic chatbot using the NovaAI SDK. The chatbot will:

• Accept user input

• Send messages to NovaAI

• Receive AI-generated responses

• Continue a conversation using message history

Estimated time: 10–15 minutes

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have completed:

• Installation

• Authentication

• Your First Request

You'll also need:

• Node.js 18+

• A NovaAI API key

• A JavaScript project

npm install @novaai/sdk

npm install @novaai/sdk

import { NovaAI } from "@novaai/sdk";
 
const client = new NovaAI({
  apiKey: process.env.NOVA_API_KEY,
});

import { NovaAI } from "@novaai/sdk";
 
const client = new NovaAI({
  apiKey: process.env.NOVA_API_KEY,
});

const response = await client.chat.create({
  model: "nova-chat-4",
  messages: [
    {
      role: "user",
      content: "Hello! Who are you?"
    }
  ]
});
 
console.log(response.output);

const response = await client.chat.create({
  model: "nova-chat-4",
  messages: [
    {
      role: "user",
      content: "Hello! Who are you?"
    }
  ]
});
 
console.log(response.output);

You should receive a response similar to:

Hello! I'm NovaAI, your AI assistant. How can I help you today?

const messages = [
  {
    role: "system",
    content: "You are a helpful assistant."
  }
];
 
messages.push({
  role: "user",
  content: "Explain APIs."
});
 
const response = await client.chat.create({
  model: "nova-chat-4",
  messages
});
 
messages.push({
  role: "assistant",
  content: response.output
});

const messages = [
  {
    role: "system",
    content: "You are a helpful assistant."
  }
];
 
messages.push({
  role: "user",
  content: "Explain APIs."
});
 
const response = await client.chat.create({
  model: "nova-chat-4",
  messages
});
 
messages.push({
  role: "assistant",
  content: response.output
});
