Open AI now supports "function calling". The feature consists of passing function details to an OpenAI request, and the response will tell you if the model wants to run a function.

Function calling allows you to more reliably get structured data back from the model. For example, you can:

Create chatbots that answer questions by calling external APIs (e.g. like ChatGPT Plugins)

e.g. define functions like send_email(to: string, body: string), or get_current_weather(location: string, unit: 'celsius' | 'fahrenheit')

Convert natural language into API calls

e.g. convert "Who are my top customers?" to get_customers(min_revenue: int, created_before: string, limit: int) and call your internal API

Extract structured data from text

e.g. define a function called extract_data(name: string, birthday: string), or sql_query(query: >string)
