Sophisticated calculator

This example demonstrates a direct output from Wolfram|Alpha’s Short Answers API, used for immediately suitable queries. Therefore, the language style of the output can be more formal than the natural style of LLMs. However, in the majority of cases, Ditana Assistant employs Wolfram|Alpha internally for Introspective Contextual Augmentation, enabling a powerful synergy between Wolfram|Alpha and the LLM to generate more comprehensive responses.

❯ ditana-assistant --quiet "solve x^2 + 2x + 5 = 0"

the 1st is x equals minus 1 minus 2 times i and the 2nd is x equals minus 1 plus 2 times i

Note 1: In this case, the assistant decided via an internal query to the LLM if to use Wolfram|Alpha or not. You may force the use of Wolfram|Alpha by adding the flag -w.

Note 2: The --quiet flag is used in this example to display only the assistant’s response without additional output.
