Minds Ruby SDK

Minds Ruby SDK provides an interface to interact with the Minds AI system API. It allows you to create and manage "minds" (artificial intelligences), create chat completions, and manage data sources.

The best starting point is the Mind Website, with its introduction and explanation.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'minds_sdk'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install minds_sdk

and require with:

require 'minds'

Getting Started

Configuration

There are two ways to configure the Minds client:

1. Global Configuration:

You can set up a global configuration that will be used by default for all client instances:

Minds::Client.configure do |config|
  config.base_url = "https://mdb.ai"  # Optional: defaults to https://mdb.ai
  config.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
end

2. Instance Configuration:

Alternatively, you can configure each client instance individually:

client = Minds::Client.new(api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY", base_url: "https://mdb.ai")

Initialize the Client

After configuration, you can initialize the client:

# Using global configuration
client = Minds::Client.new

# Or with instance-specific configuration
client = Minds::Client.new(api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY", base_url: "https://mdb.ai")

# For a self-hosted Minds Cloud instance
client = Minds::Client.new(api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY", base_url: "https://<custom_cloud>.mdb.ai")

Logging

By default, the Minds SDK does not log any Faraday::Errors encountered during network requests to prevent potential data leaks. To enable error logging, you can set log_errors to true when configuring the client:

# Global configuration
Minds::Client.configure do |config|
  config.log_errors = true
end

# Or instance configuration
client = Minds::Client.new(log_errors: true)

Resources

Creating a Data Source

You can connect to various databases, such as PostgreSQL, by configuring your data source. Use the DatabaseConfig to define the connection details for your data source.

postgres_config = Minds::DatabaseConfig.new(
  name: 'my_datasource',
  description: '<DESCRIPTION-OF-YOUR-DATA>',
  engine: 'postgres',
  connection_data: {
    user: 'demo_user',
    password: 'demo_password',
    host: 'samples.mindsdb.com',
    port: 5432,
    database: 'demo',
    schema: 'demo_data'
  },
  tables: ['<TABLE-1>', '<TABLE-2>']
)

See supported Data Sources

Creating a Mind

You can create a mind and associate it with a data source.

# Create a mind with a data source
mind = client.minds.create(name: 'mind_name', datasources: [postgres_config])

# Alternatively, create a data source separately and add it to a mind later
datasource = client.datasources.create(postgres_config)
mind2 = client.minds.create(name: 'mind_name', datasources: [datasource])

You can also add a data source to an existing mind:

# Create a mind without a data source
mind3 = client.minds.create(name: 'mind_name')

# Add a data source to the mind
mind3.add_datasources(postgres_config)  # Using the config
mind3.add_datasources(datasource)       # Using the data source object

Managing Minds

You can create a mind or replace an existing one with the same name.

mind = client.minds.create(name: 'mind_name', replace: true, datasources: [postgres_config])

To update a mind, specify the new attributes:

mind.update(
  name: 'new_mind_name',
  datasources: [postgres_config]
)

List Minds

You can list all the minds you've created:

client.minds.all

Get a Mind by Name

You can fetch details of a mind by its name:

mind = client.minds.find('mind_name')

Remove a Mind

To delete a mind, use the following command:

client.minds.destroy('mind_name')

Managing Data Sources

To view all data sources:

client.datasources.all

Get a Data Source by Name

You can fetch details of a specific data source by its name:

datasource = client.datasources.find('my_datasource')

Remove a Data Source

To delete a data source, use the following command:

client.datasources.destroy('my_datasource')

Note: The SDK currently does not support automatically removing a data source if it is no longer connected to any mind.

Chat Completion

You can use a mind to generate chat completions:

response = mind.completion(message: "Hello, how are you?")
puts response

# For streaming responses
mind.completion(message: "Tell me a story", stream: true) do |chunk|
  puts chunk
end

# => {"id"=>"ad2592865b844aadbb070b3fb5090869", "choices"=>[{"delta"=>{"content"=>"I understand your request. I'm working on a detailed response for you.", "function_call"=>nil, "role"=>"assistant", "tool_calls"=>nil}, "finish_reason"=>nil, "index"=>0, "logprobs"=>nil}], "created"=>1729085931, "model"=>"mind_house_sale", "object"=>"chat.completion.chunk", "system_fingerprint"=>nil, "usage"=>nil}
# => ...

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
