Pydantic AI: inspect a complete two-turn chat

The FastAPI example stores history between requests: a German Shepherd preference is followed by a recall question. This original screenshot includes both complete turns and replies, transcribed below with turn labels. The guide links the capture to its chat-app example without identifying a generation model.

Example input

User turn 1:
My favorite dog breed is the German Shepherd. What's yours?

User turn 2:
Can you remember what my favorite breed is?

Example output

Assistant turn 1:
I don't have personal preferences or feelings, but I can help share information about various dog breeds if you'd like! German Shepherds are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. They're often used in working roles like police and service dogs. Is there anything specific you'd like to know about them or another breed?

Assistant turn 2:
You mentioned that your favorite dog breed is the German Shepherd.

Pydantic AI: preview the built-in web chat

The built-in browser UI brings conversation history, tool controls and model selection together. This original guide capture displays Claude Haiku 4.5 and the complete user question. The guide positions the UI for local development and debugging; production use calls for the documented authenticated frontend setup.

Usage example

Pydantic AI: return a typed sentiment object

The author’s full script defines a typed Sentiment result, supplies a review-snippet tool, and asks about an app’s feedback. Its positive/0.9 source comment illustrates the output shape. Keep the declared provider/model and supply valid credentials when trying the recipe.

Example input

from typing import Literal

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

from pydantic_ai import Agent, RunContext


class Sentiment(BaseModel):
    label: Literal['positive', 'negative', 'neutral']
    score: float = Field(ge=-1, le=1)


agent = Agent('openai:gpt-6.1-sol', output_type=Sentiment)


@agent.tool
def recent_reviews(ctx: RunContext, product: str) -> list[str]:
    """Fetch recent review snippets for a product."""
    return ['The new release fixed everything I complained about!']


result = agent.run_sync('How are people feeling about the Extract app?')
print(result.output)
#> label='positive' score=0.9

Example output

label='positive' score=0.9
