Sneak peek

Python

kernel.import_skill(TextMemorySkill())

sk_prompt = """
Considering these facts

About me: {{recall 'where did I grow up?'}}
About me: {{recall 'where do I live?'}}

Question: {{$input}}

Provide a concise answer ('Answer: ') and a separate explanation ('Explanation: '), in two lines.
"""

sk_function = kernel.create_semantic_function(prompt_template=sk_prompt, max_tokens=200)

context= kernel.create_new_context()
context[TextMemorySkill.COLLECTION_PARAM] = "aboutMeUser002";

result = await sk_function.invoke_async(input="Do I live in the same town where I grew up?", context=context)
print(result)

Answer: No.
Explanation: The fact that the family is from New York and the person has been living in Seattle since 2005 suggests that they did not grow up in Seattle.
