Claude AI Function Pack: Powerful AI Made Easy!

In this guide, we'll learn how to easily integrate Anthropic's powerful language model, Claude, into your Xano workflows. Anthropic's Claude is one of the most advanced AI models available, capable of advanced reasoning, code generation, language translation, and image recognition. Let's dive in!

Getting Started

Before we begin, you'll need to obtain an API key from Anthropic. Keep in mind that each function request made through Xano will be charged, so be mindful when testing.

To get started, install the Claude function pack directly into your Xano workspace:

1. Add the function pack to your account and select the instance you'd like to apply it to.
2. Choose the workspace you want to work in.
3. Head to the Marketplace > Purchased section, and you'll find the Claude function pack ready to install.
4. Install the snippet to access all the functions.

Now, you'll find two functions in your Functions section: `createChatCompletion` and `createImageAnalysis`.

Setting Up Your API Key

Before using these functions, you'll need to add your Anthropic API key as an environment variable in your Xano settings:

1. Go to your Xano settings.
2. Add a new environment variable with the key `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` and set its value to the API key you obtained from Anthropic.

Using the Chat Completion Function

Let's create a simple API to demonstrate how to use the `createChatCompletion` function:

1. Create a new API and give it a name (e.g., "Test Claude").
2. Inside the API, use the `createChatCompletion` function.
3. Within the function, you'll find various options to configure your request:

• Select the desired Claude model (IQ, Sine, or Opus) from the dropdown.
• Define the maximum number of tokens for the response.
• Set the system message (optional) to provide instructions or context for the AI.
• Enter your prompt (e.g., "How many planets are there in our solar system?").

1. Save and run the API.

Claude will respond with the answer to your prompt, displaying the result within Xano.

Using the Image Analysis Function

Xano's Claude integration also allows you to upload images and have Claude describe them, as well as compare differences between multiple images.

1. Create a new API or workflow.
2. Use the `createImageAnalysis` function.
3. Add file resources for the images you want to analyze (e.g., `image1` and `image2`).
4. Update the function inputs to select the images you want to analyze.
5. Set the prompt to describe what you want Claude to do (e.g., "What are these images? What are the differences between them?").
6. Save and run the API or workflow.

Claude will analyze the provided images and provide a detailed response, describing the images and highlighting the differences between them.

Additional Options

The Claude function pack includes several advanced options to fine-tune the AI's behavior:

• System Prompt: Provide specific instructions or context for the task at hand and the expected response format.
• Temperature: Control the randomness or "creativity" of the responses. Lower temperatures (e.g., 0.1) will yield more deterministic answers, while higher temperatures (e.g., 1.5-2.0) will generate more creative but potentially less truthful responses.

Experiment with these options to achieve the desired results for your use case.

With Xano's seamless integration of Anthropic's Claude AI, you can now incorporate advanced language processing, code generation, and image analysis capabilities into your applications without writing a single line of code. Unleash the power of AI and accelerate your development process with Xano!
