Your First LLM Call with llm.do: A Quickstart Guide

The world of large language models (LLMs) is exploding! With so many powerful models available from various providers, choosing and integrating the right one can feel overwhelming. Switching between models for testing, optimization, or diverse tasks often requires significant code changes and managing multiple APIs.

What if there was a simpler way?

Introducing llm.do, your unified gateway to large language models. llm.do provides a single, simple API that allows you to access models from any provider, abstracting away the complexities of individual model APIs. This means you can simplify your AI workflow, reduce vendor lock-in, and focus on building amazing applications, not wrangling API keys.

Think of llm.do as a universal translator for LLMs. You speak one language (the llm.do API), and it handles the conversation with whichever LLM you choose, no matter the provider.

Why Use a Unified LLM Gateway Like llm.do?

Simplified Integration: Access multiple models through a single, consistent API. No more managing separate SDKs and credentials for each provider.
Easy Model Switching: Experiment with different models from various providers with minimal code changes, making it easier to find the best fit for your specific needs.
Reduced Vendor Lock-in: Avoid being tied to a single provider. Easily switch to a different model if needed, ensuring flexibility and future-proofing.
Streamlined Development Workflow: Focus on your application logic rather than the intricacies of individual LLM APIs.

Getting Started with llm.do: Your First LLM Call

Ready to experience the simplicity of llm.do? Let's make your first LLM call!

Our API is designed to be intuitive and easy to integrate. Here's a quick example using our TypeScript SDK and the popular Vercel AI SDK, demonstrating how straightforward it is:

import { llm } from 'llm.do'
import { generateText } from 'ai'

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: llm('x-ai/grok-3-beta'), // Specify the model using our unified syntax
  prompt: 'Write a blog post about the future of work post-AGI',
})

console.log(text)

Explanation:

import { llm } from 'llm.do': This imports the core function from the llm.do SDK.
llm('x-ai/grok-3-beta'): This is the magic! You simply specify the desired model using our unified llm('provider/model-name') syntax. llm.do handles the routing and communication with the correct underlying API.
generateText({...}): This is from the Vercel AI SDK, but you can use llm.do with other frameworks like LangChain, or even directly via REST API calls.
prompt: 'Write a blog post about the future of work post-AGI': Your input prompt for the LLM.

That's it! With just a few lines of code, you've successfully made a call to an LLM through the llm.do gateway.
