Prediction

Prediction API is the primary endpoint for interacting with your Akilibot flows and assistants. It allows you to send messages to your selected flow and receive responses back. This API handles the core chat functionality, including:

  • Chat Interactions: Send questions or messages to your flow and receive AI-generated responses
  • Streaming Responses: Get real-time streaming responses for better user experience
  • Conversation Memory: Maintain context across multiple messages within a session
  • File Processing: Upload and process images, audio, and other files as part of your queries
  • Dynamic Configuration: Override chatflow settings and pass variables at runtime

For details, see the Prediction Endpoint API Reference.

Base URL and Authentication

Base URL: https://akilibot.dev

Endpoint: POST /api/v1/prediction/:id

SDK Libraries

Akilibot provides official SDKs for Python and TypeScript/JavaScript. The SDKs call the Prediction API over HTTPS — they can be used against your workspace's API host from any environment.

Python SDK Usage

from akilibot import Akilibot, PredictionData

# Initialize client
client = Akilibot(base_url="https://akilibot.dev")

# Non-streaming prediction
try:
    response = client.create_prediction(
        PredictionData(
            chatflowId="your-chatflow-id",
            question="What is machine learning?",
            streaming=False
        )
    )

    # Handle response
    for result in response:
        print("Response:", result)

except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
from akilibot import Akilibot, PredictionData

client = Akilibot(base_url="https://akilibot.dev")

# Streaming prediction
try:
    response = client.create_prediction(
        PredictionData(
            chatflowId="your-chatflow-id",
            question="Tell me a long story about AI",
            streaming=True
        )
    )

    # Process streaming chunks
    print("Streaming response:")
    for chunk in response:
        print(chunk, end="", flush=True)

except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
from akilibot import Akilibot, PredictionData

client = Akilibot(base_url="https://akilibot.dev")

# Advanced configuration
try:
    response = client.create_prediction(
        PredictionData(
            chatflowId="your-chatflow-id",
            question="Analyze this data",
            streaming=False,
            overrideConfig={
                "sessionId": "user-session-123",
                "temperature": 0.7,
                "maxTokens": 500,
                "returnSourceDocuments": True
            }
        )
    )

    for result in response:
        print("Response:", result)

Direct HTTP API Usage

If you prefer to use the REST API directly without SDKs:

Basic Request

import requests
import json

def send_message(chatflow_id, question, streaming=False):
    url = f"https://akilibot.dev/api/v1/prediction/{chatflow_id}"

    payload = {
        "question": question,
        "streaming": streaming
    }

    headers = {
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }

    try:
        response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
        response.raise_for_status()  # Raise exception for bad status codes

        return response.json()

    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Request failed: {e}")
        return None

# Usage
result = send_message(
    chatflow_id="your-chatflow-id",
    question="What is artificial intelligence?",
    streaming=False
)

if result:
    print("Response:", result)
async function sendMessage(chatflowId, question, streaming = false) {
    const url = `https://akilibot.dev/api/v1/prediction/${chatflowId}`;

    const payload = {
        question: question,
        streaming: streaming
    };

    try {
        const response = await fetch(url, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(payload)
        });

        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
        }

        const result = await response.json();
        return result;

    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Request failed:', error);
        return null;
    }
}

// Usage
sendMessage(
    'your-chatflow-id',
    'What is artificial intelligence?',
    false
).then(result => {
    if (result) {
        console.log('Response:', result);
    }
});
curl -X POST "https://akilibot.dev/api/v1/prediction/your-chatflow-id" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "question": "What is artificial intelligence?",
    "streaming": false
  }'

Advanced Features

Form Input

In Agentflow V2, you can select form as input type.

You can override the value by Variable Name of the Form Input

{
    "form": {
        "title": "Example",
        "count": 1,
        ...
    }
}
import requests

def prediction(flow_id, form):
    url = f"https://akilibot.dev/api/v1/prediction/{flow_id}"

    payload = {
        "form": form
    }

    try:
        response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
        return None

result = prediction(
    flow_id="your-flow-id",
    form={
        "title": "ABC",
        "choices": "A"
    }
)

print(result)
async function prediction(flowId, form) {
    const url = `https://akilibot.dev/api/v1/prediction/${flowId}`;

    const payload = {
        form: form
    };

    try {
        const response = await fetch(url, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(payload)
        });

        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
        }

        return await response.json();

    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error);
        return null;
    }
}

prediction(
    'your-flow-id',
    {
        "title": "ABC",
        "choices": "A"
    }
).then(result => {
    console.log(result);
});

Configuration Override

Override chatflow settings dynamically.

Override config is disabled by default for security reasons. Enable it from the top right: Settings → Configuration → Security tab:

import requests

def query_with_config(flow_id, question, config):
    url = f"https://akilibot.dev/api/v1/prediction/{flow_id}"

    payload = {
        "question": question,
        "overrideConfig": config
    }

    try:
        response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
        return None

# Example: Override session and return source documents
result = query_with_config(
    flow_id="your-flow-id",
    question="How does machine learning work?",
    config={
        "sessionId": "user-123",
        "temperature": 0.5,
        "maxTokens": 1000
    }
)

print(result)
async function queryWithConfig(flowId, question, config) {
    const url = `https://akilibot.dev/api/v1/prediction/${flowId}`;

    const payload = {
        question: question,
        overrideConfig: config
    };

    try {
        const response = await fetch(url, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(payload)
        });

        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
        }

        return await response.json();

    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error);
        return null;
    }
}

// Example: Override session and return source documents
queryWithConfig(
    'your-flow-id',
    'How does machine learning work?',
    {
        sessionId: 'user-123',
        temperature: 0.5,
        maxTokens: 1000
    }
).then(result => {
    console.log(result);
});

For array type, hovering over the info icon will shows the schema that can be overriden.

Array value from overrideConfig will concatenate with existing array values. For example, if existing startState has:

{
  "key": "key1",
  "value": "value1"
}

And if we enable override:

"overrideConfig": {
    "startState": [
        {
            "key": "foo",
            "value": "bar"
        }
    ],
    "llmMessages": [
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": "You are helpful assistant"
        }
    ]
}

The final startState will be:

[
  {
    "key": "key1",
    "value": "value1"
  },
  {
    "key": "foo",
    "value": "bar"
  },
]

Overriding Specific Node

By default, if multiple nodes share the same type and no node ID is specified, overriding a property will update that property across all matching nodes.

For example, there are 2 LLM nodes where I want to override the system message:

After enabling the ability to override:

I can override the system message for both LLMs like so:

"overrideConfig": {
    "llmMessages": [
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": "You are sarcastic"
        }
    ]
}

From the Execution, you can see the overriden system message:

In some cases, you might want to just override config for specific node. You can do so by specifying the node id inside the property you want to override.

For example:

"overrideConfig": {
    "llmMessages": {
        "llmAgentflow_0": [
            {
                "role": "system",
                "content": "You are sweet"
            } 
        ],
        "llmAgentflow_1": [
            {
                "role": "system",
                "content": "You are smart"
            } 
        ]
    }
}

If you head back to Execution, you can see each LLM has the correct overriden value:

Conversation History

Provide conversation context by including previous messages in the history array.

History Message Format

{
    "role": "apiMessage" | "userMessage",
    "content": "Message content"
}
import requests

def chat_with_history(flow_id, question, history):
    url = f"https://akilibot.dev/api/v1/prediction/{flow_id}"

    payload = {
        "question": question,
        "history": history
    }

    try:
        response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
        return None

# Example conversation with context

        "content": "Nice to meet you, Sarah! I'd be happy to help you learn about AI. What specific aspects interest you?"
    }
]

result = chat_with_history(
    flow_id="your-flow-id",
    question="Can you explain neural networks in simple terms?",
    history=conversation_history
)

print(result)
async function chatWithHistory(flowId, question, history) {
    const url = `https://akilibot.dev/api/v1/prediction/${flowId}`;

    const payload = {
        question: question,
        history: history
    };

    try {
        const response = await fetch(url, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(payload)
        });

        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
        }

        return await response.json();

    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error);
        return null;
    }
}

// Example conversation with context
const conversationHistory = [
    {

        content: "Hello! I'm an AI assistant. How can I help you today?"
    },
    {
        role: "userMessage", 
        content: "Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm learning about AI"
    },
    {
        role: "apiMessage",
        content: "Nice to meet you, Sarah! I'd be happy to help you learn about AI. What specific aspects interest you?"
    }
];

chatWithHistory(
    'your-flow-id',
    'Can you explain neural networks in simple terms?',
    conversationHistory
).then(result => {
    console.log(result);
});

Session Management

Use sessionId to maintain conversation state across multiple API calls. Each session maintains its own conversation context and memory.

import requests

Variables

Pass dynamic variables to your flow using the vars property in overrideConfig. Variables can be used in your flow to inject dynamic content.

Warning

Variables must be created first before you can override it. Refer to Variables

import requests

File Uploads

Upload files to have LLM process the files and answer query related to the files. Refer to Files for more reference.

Human Input

When execution/conversation is halted requiring human's input, the response body will returns an action data. Users can use this to render specific actions from UI.

Warning

Remember to save chatId as it is needed to resume the execution/conversation.

How UI renders approve/reject/feedback

Akilibot Chat UI reads action.elements and renders buttons based on element type:

  • agentflowv2-approve-button — green outlined button with a checkmark icon
  • agentflowv2-reject-button — red outlined button with an X icon

When clicked, if action.data.input.humanInputEnableFeedback is true, a feedback dialog (text area) is shown before submitting. Otherwise it submits immediately.

For your own Chat UI, render the action like this:

// Pseudo-code for a custom UI
if (response.action) {
  const { elements, data } = response.action
  const showFeedback = data?.input?.humanInputEnableFeedback

  elements.forEach(elem => {
    if (elem.type === 'agentflowv2-approve-button') {
      // Render a green "Proceed" button
    }
    if (elem.type === 'agentflowv2-reject-button') {
      // Render a red "Reject" button
    }
  })

  // On button click:
  //   - If showFeedback is true, show a text input for feedback first
  //   - Then call the prediction API to resume (see below)
}

How to resume the conversation

When the user clicks approve or reject, send another POST /api/v1/prediction/{chatflowId} with the humanInput field:

{
  "chatId": "c5a49fa0-3609-448c-bb36-b9937a34390e",
  "humanInput": {
    "type": "proceed",
    "startNodeId": "humanInputAgentflow_0",
    "feedback": ""
  }
}

The three key fields in humanInput:

Field Value Description
type "proceed" or "reject" Maps from the button type — approve → "proceed", reject → "reject"
startNodeId From action.data.nodeId — tells the server which node to resume
feedback Optional feedback text if humanInputEnableFeedback was true

Example — reject with feedback:

{
  "chatId": "c5a49fa0-3609-448c-bb36-b9937a34390e",
  "humanInput": {
    "type": "reject",
    "startNodeId": "humanInputAgentflow_0",
    "feedback": "I think we should use a different approach"
  }
}

The server will find the pending action, clear it, and resume the agentflow from the startNodeId with the user's decision.

Troubleshooting

  1. 404 Not Found: Verify the flow ID is correct and the flow exists
  2. 401 Unauthorized Access: Verify if the flow is API key protected
  3. 400 Bad Request: Check request format and required fields
  4. 413 Payload Too Large: Reduce file sizes or split large requests
  5. 500 Internal Server Error: Check if there is any misconfiguration from the nodes in the flow
