## 🎮 Core Features

### 💬 Universal Chat Interface

Works identically across all providers:

```typescript
// Use GPT-4 for complex reasoning
const gptResponse = await ai.openaiProvider.chat({
  systemMessage: 'You are a expert physicist.',
  userMessage: 'Explain the implications of quantum entanglement',
  messageHistory: []
});

// Use Claude for safety-critical applications
const claudeResponse = await ai.anthropicProvider.chat({
  systemMessage: 'You are a medical advisor.',

const groqResponse = await ai.groqProvider.chat({
  systemMessage: 'You are a code reviewer.',
  userMessage: 'Quick! Find the bug in this code: ...',
  messageHistory: []
});
```

### 🌊 Real-Time Streaming

Build responsive chat interfaces with token-by-token streaming:

```typescript
// Create a chat stream
const stream = await ai.openaiProvider.chatStream(inputStream);
const reader = stream.getReader();

// Display responses as they arrive
while (true) {
  const { done, value } = await reader.read();
  if (done) break;
  
  // Update UI in real-time
  process.stdout.write(value);
}
```

### 🎙️ Text-to-Speech

Generate natural voices with OpenAI:

```typescript
const audioStream = await ai.openaiProvider.audio({
  message: 'Welcome to the future of AI development!'
});

// Stream directly to speakers
audioStream.pipe(speakerOutput);

// Or save to file
audioStream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('welcome.mp3'));
```

### 👁️ Vision Analysis

Understand images with multiple providers:

```typescript
const image = fs.readFileSync('product-photo.jpg');

// OpenAI: General purpose vision
const gptVision = await ai.openaiProvider.vision({
  image,
  prompt: 'Describe this product and suggest marketing angles'
});

// Anthropic: Detailed analysis
const claudeVision = await ai.anthropicProvider.vision({
  image,
  prompt: 'Identify any safety concerns or defects'
});

// Ollama: Private, local analysis
const ollamaVision = await ai.ollamaProvider.vision({
  image,
  prompt: 'Extract all text and categorize the content'
});
```

### 📄 Document Intelligence

Extract insights from PDFs with AI:

```typescript
const contract = fs.readFileSync('contract.pdf');
const invoice = fs.readFileSync('invoice.pdf');

// Analyze documents
const analysis = await ai.openaiProvider.document({
  systemMessage: 'You are a legal expert.',
  userMessage: 'Compare these documents and highlight key differences',
  messageHistory: [],
  pdfDocuments: [contract, invoice]
});

// Multi-document analysis
const taxDocs = [form1099, w2, receipts];
const taxAnalysis = await ai.anthropicProvider.document({
  systemMessage: 'You are a tax advisor.',
  userMessage: 'Prepare a tax summary from these documents',
  messageHistory: [],
  pdfDocuments: taxDocs
});
```

### 🔄 Persistent Conversations

Maintain context across interactions:

```typescript
// Create a coding assistant conversation
const assistant = ai.createConversation('openai');
await assistant.setSystemMessage('You are an expert TypeScript developer.');

// First question
const inputWriter = assistant.getInputStreamWriter();
await inputWriter.write('How do I implement a singleton pattern?');

// Continue the conversation
await inputWriter.write('Now show me how to make it thread-safe');

// The assistant remembers the entire context
```

## 🚀 Real-World Examples

### Build a Customer Support Bot

```typescript
const supportBot = new SmartAi({
  anthropicToken: process.env.ANTHROPIC_KEY // Claude for empathetic responses
});

async function handleCustomerQuery(query: string, history: ChatMessage[]) {
  try {
    const response = await supportBot.anthropicProvider.chat({
      systemMessage: `You are a helpful customer support agent. 
                      Be empathetic, professional, and solution-oriented.`,
      userMessage: query,
      messageHistory: history
    });
    
    return response.message;
  } catch (error) {
    // Fallback to another provider if needed
    return await supportBot.openaiProvider.chat({...});
  }
}
```

### Create a Code Review Assistant

```typescript
const codeReviewer = new SmartAi({
  groqToken: process.env.GROQ_KEY // Groq for speed
});

async function reviewCode(code: string, language: string) {
  const startTime = Date.now();
  
  const review = await codeReviewer.groqProvider.chat({
    systemMessage: `You are a ${language} expert. Review code for:
                    - Security vulnerabilities
                    - Performance issues  
                    - Best practices
                    - Potential bugs`,
    userMessage: `Review this code:\n\n${code}`,
    messageHistory: []
  });
  
  console.log(`Review completed in ${Date.now() - startTime}ms`);
  return review.message;
}
```

### Build a Research Assistant

```typescript
const researcher = new SmartAi({
  perplexityToken: process.env.PERPLEXITY_KEY
});

async function research(topic: string) {
  // Perplexity excels at web-aware research
  const findings = await researcher.perplexityProvider.chat({
    systemMessage: 'You are a research assistant. Provide factual, cited information.',
    userMessage: `Research the latest developments in ${topic}`,
    messageHistory: []
  });
  
  return findings.message;
}
```

### Local AI for Sensitive Data

```typescript
const localAI = new SmartAi({
  ollama: {
    baseUrl: 'http://localhost:11434',
    model: 'llama2',
    visionModel: 'llava'
  }
});

// Process sensitive documents without leaving your infrastructure
async function analyzeSensitiveDoc(pdfBuffer: Buffer) {
  const analysis = await localAI.ollamaProvider.document({
    systemMessage: 'Extract and summarize key information.',
    userMessage: 'Analyze this confidential document',
    messageHistory: [],
    pdfDocuments: [pdfBuffer]
  });
  
  // Data never leaves your servers
  return analysis.message;
}
```

## ⚡ Performance Tips

### 1. Provider Selection Strategy

```typescript
class SmartAIRouter {
  constructor(private ai: SmartAi) {}
  
  async query(message: string, requirements: {
    speed?: boolean;
    accuracy?: boolean;
    cost?: boolean;
    privacy?: boolean;
  }) {
    if (requirements.privacy) {
      return this.ai.ollamaProvider.chat({...}); // Local only
    }
    if (requirements.speed) {
      return this.ai.groqProvider.chat({...}); // 10x faster
    }
    if (requirements.accuracy) {
      return this.ai.anthropicProvider.chat({...}); // Best reasoning
    }
    // Default fallback
    return this.ai.openaiProvider.chat({...});
  }
}
```

### 2. Streaming for Large Responses

```typescript
// Don't wait for the entire response
async function streamResponse(userQuery: string) {
  const stream = await ai.openaiProvider.chatStream(createInputStream(userQuery));
  
  // Process tokens as they arrive
  for await (const chunk of stream) {
    updateUI(chunk); // Immediate feedback
    await processChunk(chunk); // Parallel processing
  }
}
```

### 3. Parallel Multi-Provider Queries

```typescript
// Get the best answer from multiple AIs
async function consensusQuery(question: string) {
  const providers = [
    ai.openaiProvider.chat({...}),
    ai.anthropicProvider.chat({...}),
    ai.perplexityProvider.chat({...})
  ];
  
  const responses = await Promise.all(providers);
  return synthesizeResponses(responses);
}
```

## 🛠️ Advanced Features

### Custom Streaming Transformations

```typescript
// Add real-time translation
const translationStream = new TransformStream({
  async transform(chunk, controller) {
    const translated = await translateChunk(chunk);
    controller.enqueue(translated);
  }
});

const responseStream = await ai.openaiProvider.chatStream(input);
const translatedStream = responseStream.pipeThrough(translationStream);
```

### Error Handling & Fallbacks

```typescript
class ResilientAI {
  private providers = ['openai', 'anthropic', 'groq'];
  
  async query(opts: ChatOptions): Promise<ChatResponse> {
    for (const provider of this.providers) {
      try {
        return await this.ai[`${provider}Provider`].chat(opts);
      } catch (error) {
        console.warn(`${provider} failed, trying next...`);
        continue;
      }
    }
    throw new Error('All providers failed');
  }
}
```

### Token Counting & Cost Management

```typescript
// Track usage across providers
class UsageTracker {
  async trackedChat(provider: string, options: ChatOptions) {
    const start = Date.now();
    const response = await ai[`${provider}Provider`].chat(options);
    
    const usage = {
      provider,
      duration: Date.now() - start,
      inputTokens: estimateTokens(options),
      outputTokens: estimateTokens(response.message)
    };
    
    await this.logUsage(usage);
    return response;
  }
}
```
