Installation

Install the plugin in your project with your favorite package manager:

• npm install genkitx-voiceflow
• pnpm add genkitx-voiceflow

Configuration

To use the plugin, you need to configure it with your Voiceflow API key. You can do this by calling the genkit function:

import { genkit, z } from 'genkit';
import {github, openAIGpt4o} from "genkitx-voiceflow";

const ai = genkit({
  plugins: [
    openAI({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY }),
    voiceflow([
      {
        name: 'kb',
        clientParams: {
          apiKey: process.env.VOICEFLOW_API_KEY!,
        }
      },
    ])
  ],
});

Usage

The plugin provides two main functionalities: index and retrieve. You can use them directly or within a Genkit flow.

Indexer

Indexer is used to index documents in the Voiceflow Knowledge Base. Voiceflow Knowledge Base only works with documents that contain a media field with a url property. The URL could be a link to a website or to a local file with file://.

Basic examples

The simplest way to call the indexer is by using the helper function index:

const voiceflowIndexer = voiceflowIndexerRef({
  name: 'kb'
});

const documents = [{ content: [{ media: { url: 'https://www.voiceflow.com' } }] }];
await ai.index({ indexer: voiceflowIndexer, documents });

Within a flow

// ...configure Genkit (as shown above)...

export const indexerFlow = ai.defineFlow(
  {
    name: 'indexerFlow',
    inputSchema: z.string(),
    outputSchema: z.string(),
  },
  async () => {

   const voiceflowIndexer = voiceflowIndexerRef({
     name: 'kb'
   });

   const documents = [{ content: [{ media: { url: 'https://www.voiceflow.com' } }] }];
   await ai.index({ indexer: voiceflowIndexer, documents });

   return 'done';
   
  }
);

Retriever

A retriever is used to retrieve documents from the Voiceflow Knowledge Base. You can pass a query and options to the retriever. The options object can contain the following properties:

1. querySettings: An object with the following properties:
   • model: The model to use for the query. The default is gpt-4o.
   • temperature: The temperature to use for the query. The default is 0.7.
   • system: The system prompt to use for the query. The default is ''.
2. k: The number of documents to retrieve. The default is 5.
3. filters: filters to apply to the query. The default is [].

Basic examples

The simplest way to call the retriever is by using the helper function retrieve:

const voiceflowRetriever = voiceflowRetrieverRef({
  name: 'retriever'
});

const docs = await ai.retrieve({ retriever: voiceflowRetriever, query: subject, 
options:{
  querySettings: { model: 'gpt-4o', temperature: 0.7 },
  k: 5
}});

Within a flow

// ...configure Genkit (as shown above)...

export const retrieverFlow = ai.defineFlow(
  {
    name: 'retrieverFlow',
    inputSchema: z.string(),
    outputSchema: z.string(),
  },
  async (subject) => {

   const voiceflowRetriever = voiceflowRetrieverRef({
     name: 'retriever'
   });

   const docs = await ai.retrieve({ retriever: voiceflowRetriever, query: subject, 
    options:{
     querySettings: { model: 'gpt-4o', temperature: 0.7 },
     k: 5
   }});
   
   const llmResponse = await ai.generate({
      prompt: `What is Voiceflow?`,
      docs: docs,
    });
    return llmResponse.text;
  }
);
