OLI (OpenAI Logic Interpreter) is a client-side framework designed to simplify the creation of AI agents within web applications by leveraging the OpenAI API. Developers can define custom functions that OLI intelligently selects based on user prompts, manage conversational context to maintain coherent state across multiple interactions, and chain API calls for complex workflows such as booking appointments or generating reports. Furthermore, OLI includes utilities for parsing responses, handling errors, and integrating third-party services through webhooks or REST endpoints. Because it’s fully modular and open-source, teams can customize agent behaviors, add new capabilities, and deploy OLI agents on any web platform without backend dependencies. OLI accelerates development of conversational UIs and automations.
