# 🎉 DialogicAI

**DialogicAI** is a Python package designed to manage complex, threaded conversations with branching capabilities, much like version control systems manage code branches. Whether you're building an AI chatbot, a customer support system, or any application that requires structured conversations, DialogicAI provides the tools to seamlessly manage multiple conversation threads, switch between branches, and keep track of message history.

## 🚀 Installation

You can install DialogicAI directly from PyPI using pip:

```bash
pip install dialogic-ai
```

## 🏃‍♂️ Quick Start

Here’s a quick example to get you started with DialogicAI:

```python
from dialogicai.core import DialogicAI

# Initialize the DialogicAI instance
dialogicAI = DialogicAI()

# Add some messages
dialogicAI.add_message({"content": "Hello, how are you?", "role": "user"})
dialogicAI.add_message({"content": "I'm doing well, thank you! How can I assist you today?", "role": "assistant"})

# Branch the conversation
dialogicAI.add_message({
    "content": "Can you tell me a joke?", 
    "role": "user",
    "metadata": {"branches": ["joke"]}
})

# Convert the thread to a list of dictionaries
conversation = dialogicAI.thread_to_list()
print(conversation)
```


## 🛠️ Main Methods

DialogicAI provides a set of powerful methods to help you manage conversation threads with ease. Here are some of the key methods:

### ➕ `add_message(message)`
This method adds a new message to the current conversation thread.

- **Parameters**: 
  - **message** (dict): A dictionary containing the message's `content`, `role`, and optional `metadata` (such as branches).
  
- **Usage Example**:
  ```python
  dialogicAI.add_message({"content": "Hello, how are you?", "role": "user"})
  ```


### 🔄 `change_branch(branch)`
Switches the current conversation to a different branch, allowing you to manage multiple threads seamlessly.

- **Parameters**:
  - **branch** (str): The name of the branch you wish to switch to.
  
- **Usage Example**:
  ```python
  dialogicAI.change_branch("joke")
  ```


### 📩 `get_last_message()`
Retrieves the last message in the current branch, making it easy to continue a conversation or review the last interaction.

- **Returns**:
  - **NodeMessage**: The last message object in the current branch.
  
- **Usage Example**:
  ```python
  last_message = dialogicAI.get_last_message()
  print(last_message.content)
  ```

### 📝 `thread_to_list()`
Converts the entire conversation thread into a list of dictionaries, making it straightforward to serialize or inspect the conversation history.

- **Returns**:
  - **list**: A list of dictionaries, each representing a message in the thread.
  
- **Usage Example**:
  ```python
  conversation_list = dialogicAI.thread_to_list()
  print(conversation_list)
  ```
