SAM - Simple Action Model with Java

As the initial excitement surrounding the novelty of generating images, videos, and conversation with artificial intelligence gradually fades, individuals begin to seek more tangible and practical applications. Enter "SAM" – Open source "Simple Action Model" designed to take actions , not just chat. Leveraging AI and Java integration, SAM can serve as an intuitive platform capable of executing various tasks seamlessly in response to simple English conversations.

SAM is a reference application built on open source Tools4AI project.

By using Tools4AI, Sam's versatility can extend across multiple domains, and can offer a wide array of functionalities to enhance convenience and efficiency in everyday life. Here's a glimpse into what Sam can accomplish:

Home Automation:
Sam can seamlessly integrates with smart home ecosystem by leveraging open source Home Assistant API (https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/api/rest/,) allowing you to effortlessly control various devices. Whether you want to adjust the thermostat to create the perfect ambiance, lock or unlock doors for added security, or even dim the lights to set the mood, Sam responds promptly to your commands, making home management a breeze. The HTTP actions built into Sam can call any actions which are exposed as API via Home Assistant.
prompt = "Sam, how many devices do you see?"
Will trigger this action automatically


@Predict
public class HAAction implements AIAction {

public List<State> getDevices() {
        List<State> theDeviceStates = null;
        State[] theHassStates;
        String theUrl = null;
        String theData;
        headers = getAuthHeader();
        if (hassAddress.getSecure() != null && hassAddress.getSecure())
            theUrl = "https";
        else
            theUrl = "http";
        theUrl = theUrl + "://" + hassAddress.getIp() + ":" + hassAddress.getPort() + "/api/states";
        theData = anHttpHandler.doHttpRequest(theUrl, HttpGet.METHOD_NAME, "application/json", null, headers);
        if (theData != null) {
            log.debug("GET Hass States - data: " + theData);
            theHassStates = new Gson().fromJson(theData, State[].class);
            if (theHassStates == null) {
                log.warn("Cannot get an devices for HomeAssistant " + hassAddress.getName()
                        + " as response is not parsable.");
            } else {
                theDeviceStates = new ArrayList<State>(Arrays.asList(theHassStates));
            }
        } else
            log.warn("Cannot get an devices for HomeAssistant " + hassAddress.getName() + " http call failed.");
        return theDeviceStates;
    }
