ChatbotAI

Chatbot is a lightweight Node.js package that provides a unified interface for working with multiple AI providers in a single project.

The goal is simple: write once, switch AI providers without refactoring your logic.

No framework. No hidden magic. No forced conversation handling. You stay in control.

Overview

Currently supported AI providers:

• OpenAI GPT
• Google Gemini
• DeepSeek (OpenAI-compatible API)

Designed for:

• Chatbots
• CLI tools
• Code generators
• Developer assistants

Installation

Install from npm:

npm install chatbot

For local development:

npm link

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or higher
• ES Module environment
• Valid API keys for the AI providers you use

If your project does not use ES Modules yet, add this to your package.json:

{ "type": "module" }

Package Structure

chatbot/ ├─ package.json ├─ index.js ├─ README.md └─ src/ ├─ gemini.js ├─ gpt.js └─ deepseek.js

Importing

import chatbot from "chatbot";

Each AI provider is isolated. No shared state. No side effects.

Gemini

Set API key:

chatbot.Gemini.SetApiKey("GEMINI_API_KEY");

Set model (optional):

chatbot.Gemini.SetModel("gemini-2.5-flash");

If not set, the default model is used.

Send a prompt:

const result = await chatbot.Gemini.Send("What is Luau?"); console.log(result);

OpenAI GPT

Set API key:

chatbot.GPT.SetOpenAIApiKey("OPENAI_API_KEY");

Set model (optional):

chatbot.GPT.SetModel("gpt-4.1");

Default model is gpt-4o-mini.

Send a prompt:

const result = await chatbot.GPT.Send("Write a Lua function to sum numbers"); console.log(result);

DeepSeek

DeepSeek uses an OpenAI-compatible API. It works with the same request format, only the base URL and model change.

Set API key:

chatbot.DeepSeek.SetApiKey("DEEPSEEK_API_KEY");

Set model (optional):

chatbot.DeepSeek.SetModel("deepseek-chat");

Default model is deepseek-chat.

Send a prompt:

const result = await chatbot.DeepSeek.Send("Write Lua code to handle a table"); console.log(result);

DeepSeek Models

Commonly used DeepSeek models:

deepseek-chat
General-purpose chat model.

deepseek-coder
Optimized for programming, code generation, and refactoring.

deepseek-coder-instruct
Strict instruction-following model for automated tools.

Example:

chatbot.DeepSeek.SetModel("deepseek-coder");

API Design Philosophy

• API keys are set once
• Models are optional
• Send always works after API key setup
• No conversation history management
• No prompt mutation
• No output formatting

This package does one thing only: send text to an AI and return text.

Why This Package Exists

• Avoid rewriting AI wrappers for every project
• Switch AI providers in seconds
• Keep dependencies minimal
• Maintain full control over prompts and output

Roadmap

• chatbot.Use("gemini" | "gpt" | "deepseek")
• Unified chatbot.Send()
• Preset modes for Lua, Luau, JavaScript
• Streaming responses
• Official CLI tool
