For example, the `gr.AnnotatedImage` only appears as a static version since there's no way to interactively change the value of the annotations or the image.\n\nWhat you need to remember\n\n* Gradio will use the interactive version (if available) of a component if that component is used as the **input** to any event; otherwise, the static version will be used.\n\n* When you design custom components, you **must** accept the boolean interactive keyword in the constructor of your Python class. In the frontend, you **may** accept the `interactive` property, a `bool` which represents whether the component should be static or interactive. If you do not use this property in the frontend, the component will appear the same in interactive or static mode.\n\n", "heading1": "Interactive vs Static", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/key-component-concepts", "source_page_title": "Custom Components - Key Component Concepts Guide"}, {"text": "The most important attribute of a component is its `value`.\nEvery component has a `value`.\nThe value that is typically set by the user in the frontend (if the component is interactive) or displayed to the user (if it is static). \nIt is also this value that is sent to the backend function when a user triggers an event, or returned by the user's function e.g. at the end of a prediction.\n\nSo this value is passed around quite a bit, but sometimes the format of the value needs to change between the frontend and backend. \nTake a look at this example:\n\n```python\nimport numpy as np\nimport gradio as gr\n\ndef sepia(input_img):\n sepia_filter = np.array([\n [0.393, 0.769, 0.189], \n [0.349, 0.686, 0.168], \n [0.272, 0.534, 0.131]\n ])\n sepia_img = input_img.dot(sepia_filter.T)\n sepia_img /= sepia_img.max()\n return sepia_img\n\ndemo = gr.Interface(sepia, gr.Image(width=200, height=200), \"image\")\ndemo.launch()\n```\n\nThis will create a Gradio app which has an `Image` component as the input and the output. \nIn the frontend, the Image component will actually **upload** the file to the server and send the **filepath** but this is converted to a `numpy` array before it is sent to a user's function. \nConversely, when the user returns a `numpy` array from their function, the numpy array is converted to a file so that it can be sent to the frontend and displayed by the `Image` component.\n\nTip: By default, the `Image` component sends numpy arrays to the python function because it is a common choice for machine learning engineers, though the Image component also supports other formats using the `type` parameter. Read the `Image` docs [here](https://www.gradio.app/docs/image) to learn more.\n\nEach component does two conversions:\n\n1. `preprocess`: Converts the `value` from the format sent by the frontend to the format expected by the python function.

This usually involves going from a **python-native** data-structure, like a `PIL` image to a **JSON** structure.\n\nWhat you need to remember\n\n* Every component must implement `preprocess` and `postprocess` methods. In the rare event that no conversion needs to happen, simply return the value as-is. `Textbox` and `Number` are examples of this. \n\n* As a component author, **YOU** control the format of the data displayed in the frontend as well as the format of the data someone using your component will receive.

There are no Gradio-specific APIs for documentation, so following best practices will generally yield the best results.\n\nIf you already use type hints and docstrings in your component source code, you don't need to do much to benefit from this feature, but there are some details that you should be aware of.\n\nPython version\n\nTo get the best documentation experience, you need to use Python `3.10` or greater when generating documentation. This is because some introspection features used to generate the documentation were only added in `3.10`.\n\nType hints\n\nPython type hints are used extensively to provide helpful information for users. \n\n
\n What are type hints?\n\n\nIf you need to become more familiar with type hints in Python, they are a simple way to express what Python types are expected for arguments and return values of functions and methods. They provide a helpful in-editor experience, aid in maintenance, and integrate with various other tools. These types can be simple primitives, like `list` `str` `bool`; they could be more compound types like `list[str]`, `str | None` or `tuple[str, float | int]`; or they can be more complex types using utility classed like [`TypedDict`](https://peps.python.org/pep-0589/abstract).\n\n[Read more about type hints in Python.](https://realpython.com/lessons/type-hinting/)\n\n\n
\n\nWhat do I need to add hints to?\n\nYou do not need to add type hints to every part of your code. For the documentation to work correctly, you will need to add type hints to the following component methods:\n\n- `__init__` parameters should be typed.\n- `postprocess` parameters and return value should be typed.\n- `preprocess` parameters and return value should be typed.\n\nIf you are using `gradio cc create`, these types should already exist, but you may need to tweak them based on any changes you ma", "heading1": "What do I need to do?", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/documenting-custom-components", "source_page_title": "Custom Components - Documenting Custom Components Guide"}, {"text": "be typed.\n- `preprocess` parameters and return value should be typed.\n\nIf you are using `gradio cc create`, these types should already exist, but you may need to tweak them based on any changes you make.\n\n`__init__`\n\nHere, you only need to type the parameters. If you have cloned a template with `gradio` cc create`, these should already be in place. You will only need to add new hints for anything you have added or changed:\n\n```py\ndef __init__(\n self,\n value: str | None = None,\n *,\n sources: Literal[\"upload\", \"microphone\"] = \"upload,\n every: Timer | float | None = None,\n ...\n):\n ...\n```\n\n`preprocess` and `postprocess`\n\nThe `preprocess` and `postprocess` methods determine the value passed to the user function and the value that needs to be returned.\n\nEven if the design of your component is primarily as an input or an output, it is worth adding type hints to both the input parameters and the return values because Gradio has no way of limiting how components can be used.\n\nIn this case, we specifically care about:\n\n- The return type of `preprocess`.\n- The input type of `postprocess`.\n\n```py\ndef preprocess(\n self, payload: FileData | None input is optional\n) -> tuple[int, str] | str | None:\n\nuser function input is the preprocess return \u25b2\nuser function output is the postprocess input \u25bc\n\ndef postprocess(\n self, value: tuple[int, str] | None\n) -> FileData | bytes | None: return is optional\n ...\n```\n\nDocstrings\n\nDocstrings are also used extensively to extract more meaningful, human-readable descriptions of certain parts of the API.\n\n
\n What are docstrings?\n\n\nIf you need to become more familiar with docstrings in Python, they are a way to annotate parts of your code with human-readable decisions and explanations. They offer a rich in-editor experience like type hints, but unlike type hints, they don't have any specific syntax requirements. They are simple strings and can take almost any form. The only requirement i", "heading1": "What do I need to do?", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/documenting-custom-components", "source_page_title": "Custom Components - Documenting Custom Components Guide"}, {"text": "offer a rich in-editor experience like type hints, but unlike type hints, they don't have any specific syntax requirements. They are simple strings and can take almost any form. The only requirement is where they appear. Docstrings should be \"a string literal that occurs as the first statement in a module, function, class, or method definition\".\n\n[Read more about Python docstrings.](https://peps.python.org/pep-0257/what-is-a-docstring)\n\n
\n\nWhile docstrings don't have any syntax requirements, we need a particular structure for documentation purposes.\n\nAs with type hint, the specific information we care about is as follows:\n\n- `__init__` parameter docstrings.\n- `preprocess` return docstrings.\n- `postprocess` input parameter docstrings.\n\nEverything else is optional.\n\nDocstrings should always take this format to be picked up by the documentation generator:\n\nClasses\n\n```py\n\"\"\"\nA description of the class.\n\nThis can span multiple lines and can _contain_ *markdown*.\n\"\"\"\n```\n\nMethods and functions \n\nMarkdown in these descriptions will not be converted into formatted text.\n\n```py\n\"\"\"\nParameters:\n param_one: A description for this parameter.\n param_two: A description for this parameter.\nReturns:\n A description for this return value.\n\"\"\"\n```\n\nEvents\n\nIn custom components, events are expressed as a list stored on the `events` field of the component class. While we do not need types for events, we _do_ need a human-readable description so users can understand the behaviour of the event.\n\nTo facilitate this, we must create the event in a specific way.\n\nThere are two ways to add events to a custom component.\n\nBuilt-in events\n\nGradio comes with a variety of built-in events that may be enough for your component. If you are using built-in events, you do not need to do anything as they already have descriptions we can extract:\n\n```py\nfrom gradio.events import Events\n\nclass ParamViewer(Component):\n ...\n\n EVENTS = [\n Events.change,\n Events.up", "heading1": "What do I need to do?", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/documenting-custom-components", "source_page_title": "Custom Components - Documenting Custom Components Guide"}, {"text": "do not need to do anything as they already have descriptions we can extract:\n\n```py\nfrom gradio.events import Events\n\nclass ParamViewer(Component):\n ...\n\n EVENTS = [\n Events.change,\n Events.upload,\n ]\n```\n\nCustom events\n\nYou can define a custom event if the built-in events are unsuitable for your use case. This is a straightforward process, but you must create the event in this way for docstrings to work correctly:\n\n```py\nfrom gradio.events import Events, EventListener\n\nclass ParamViewer(Component):\n ...\n\n EVENTS = [\n Events.change,\n EventListener(\n \"bingbong\",\n doc=\"This listener is triggered when the user does a bingbong.\"\n )\n ]\n```\n\nDemo\n\nThe `demo/app.py`, often used for developing the component, generates the live demo and code snippet. The only strict rule here is that the `demo.launch()` command must be contained with a `__name__ == \"__main__\"` conditional as below:\n\n```py\nif __name__ == \"__main__\":\n demo.launch()\n```\n\nThe documentation generator will scan for such a clause and error if absent. If you are _not_ launching the demo inside the `demo/app.py`, then you can pass `--suppress-demo-check` to turn off this check.\n\nDemo recommendations\n\nAlthough there are no additional rules, there are some best practices you should bear in mind to get the best experience from the documentation generator.\n\nThese are only guidelines, and every situation is unique, but they are sound principles to remember.\n\nKeep the demo compact\n\nCompact demos look better and make it easier for users to understand what the demo does. Try to remove as many extraneous UI elements as possible to focus the users' attention on the core use case. \n\nSometimes, it might make sense to have a `demo/app.py` just for the docs and an additional, more complex app for your testing purposes. You can also create other spaces, showcasing more complex examples and linking to them from the main class docstring or the `pyproject.toml` description.\n\n", "heading1": "What do I need to do?", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/documenting-custom-components", "source_page_title": "Custom Components - Documenting Custom Components Guide"}, {"text": "ore complex app for your testing purposes.

It should be easy to type or copy-paste and easy to understand. Explanatory comments should be brief and to the point.\n\nAvoid external dependencies\n\nAs mentioned above, users should be able to copy-paste a snippet and have a fully working app. Try to avoid third-party library dependencies to facilitate this.\n\nYou should carefully consider any examples; avoiding examples that require additional files or that make assumptions about the environment is generally a good idea.\n\nEnsure the `demo` directory is self-contained\n\nOnly the `demo` directory will be uploaded to Hugging Face spaces in certain instances, as the component will be installed via PyPi if possible.

May also include additional keys representing message metadata.\n\nThe `history` would look like this:\n\n```python\n[\n {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": [{\"type\": \"text\", \"text\": \"What is the capital of France?\"}]},\n {\"role\": \"assistant\", \"content\": [{\"type\": \"text\", \"text\": \"Paris\"}]}\n]\n```\n\nwhile the next `message` would be:\n\n```py\n\"And what is its largest city?\"\n```\n\nYour chat function simply needs to return: \n\n* a `str` value, which is the chatbot's response based on the chat `history` and most recent `message`, for example, in this case:\n\n```\nParis is also the largest city.\n```\n\nLet's take a look at a few example chat functions:\n\n**Example: a chatbot that randomly responds with yes or no**\n\nLet's write a chat function that responds `Yes` or `No` randomly.\n\nHere's our chat function:\n\n```python\nimport random\n\ndef random_response(message, history):\n return random.choice([\"Yes\", \"No\"])\n```\n\nNow, we can plug this into `gr.ChatInterface()` and call the `.launch()` method to create the web interface:\n\n```python\nimport gradio as gr\n\ngr.ChatInterface(\n fn=random_response, \n).launch()\n```\n\nThat's it!

Any examples will appear as \"buttons\" within the Chatbot before any messages are sent. If you'd like to include images or other files as part of your examples, you can do so by using this dictionary format for each example instead of a string: `{\"text\": \"What's in this image?\", \"files\": [\"cheetah.jpg\"]}`. Each file will be a separate message that is added to your Chatbot history.\n\nYou can change the displayed text for each example by using the `example_labels` argument. You can add icons to each example as well using the `example_icons` argument. Both of these arguments take a list of strings, which should be the same length as the `examples` list.\n\nIf you'd like to cache the examples so that they are pre-computed and the results appear instantly, set `cache_examples=True`.\n\n**Customizing the chatbot or textbox component**\n\nIf you want to customize the `gr.Chatbot` or `gr.Textbox` that compose the `ChatInterface`, then you can pass in your own chatbot or textbox components.

However, if the history contains uploaded files, the `content` key will be a dictionary with a \"type\" key whose value is \"file\" and the file will be represented as a dictionary. All the files will be grouped in message in the history. So after uploading two files and asking a question, your history might look like this:\n\n```python\n[\n {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": [{\"type\": \"file\", \"file\": {\"path\": \"cat1.png\"}},\n {\"type\": \"file\", \"file\": {\"path\": \"cat1.png\"}},\n {\"type\": \"text\", \"text\": \"What's the difference between these two images?\"}]}\n]\n```\n\nThe return type of your chat function does *not change* when setting `multimodal=True` (i.e. in the simplest case, you should still return a string value).

Here's an example that illustrates how to set up and customize and multimodal chat interface:\n \n\n```python\nimport gradio as gr\n\ndef count_images(message, history):\n num_images = len(message[\"files\"])\n total_images = 0\n for message in history:\n for content in message[\"content\"]:\n if content[\"type\"] == \"file\":\n total_images += 1\n return f\"You just uploaded {num_images} images, total uploaded: {total_images+num_images}\"\n\ndemo = gr.ChatInterface(\n fn=count_images, \n examples=[\n {\"text\": \"No files\", \"files\": []}\n ], \n multimodal=True,\n textbox=gr.MultimodalTextbox(file_count=\"multiple\", file_types=[\"image\"], sources=[\"upload\", \"microphone\"])\n)\n\ndemo.launch()\n```\n\n", "heading1": "Multimodal Chat Interface", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Chatbot Fast Guide"}, {"text": "You may want to add additional inputs to your chat function and expose them to your users through the chat UI. For example, you could add a textbox for a system prompt, or a slider that sets the number of tokens in the chatbot's response. The `gr.ChatInterface` class supports an `additional_inputs` parameter which can be used to add additional input components.\n\nThe `additional_inputs` parameters accepts a component or a list of components. You can pass the component instances directly, or use their string shortcuts (e.g. `\"textbox\"` instead of `gr.Textbox()`). If you pass in component instances, and they have _not_ already been rendered, then the components will appear underneath the chatbot within a `gr.Accordion()`. \n\nHere's a complete example:\n\n$code_chatinterface_system_prompt\n\nIf the components you pass into the `additional_inputs` have already been rendered in a parent `gr.Blocks()`, then they will _not_ be re-rendered in the accordion. This provides flexibility in deciding where to lay out the input components. In the example below, we position the `gr.Textbox()` on top of the Chatbot UI, while keeping the slider underneath.\n\n```python\nimport gradio as gr\nimport time\n\ndef echo(message, history, system_prompt, tokens):\n response = f\"System prompt: {system_prompt}\\n Message: {message}.\"\n for i in range(min(len(response), int(tokens))):\n time.sleep(0.05)\n yield response[: i+1]\n\nwith gr.Blocks() as demo:\n system_prompt = gr.Textbox(\"You are helpful AI.\", label=\"System Prompt\")\n slider = gr.Slider(10, 100, render=False)\n\n gr.ChatInterface(\n echo, additional_inputs=[system_prompt, slider],\n )\n\ndemo.launch()\n```\n\n**Examples with additional inputs**\n\nYou can also add example values for your additional inputs. Pass in a list of lists to the `examples` parameter, where each inner list represents one sample, and each inner list should be `1 + len(additional_inputs)` long. The first element in the inner list should be the example v", "heading1": "Additional Inputs", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Chatbot Fast Guide"}, {"text": "s to the `examples` parameter, where each inner list represents one sample, and each inner list should be `1 + len(additional_inputs)` long. The first element in the inner list should be the example value for the chat message, and each subsequent element should be an example value for one of the additional inputs, in order. When additional inputs are provided, examples are rendered in a table underneath the chat interface.\n\nIf you need to create something even more custom, then its best to construct the chatbot UI using the low-level `gr.Blocks()` API. We have [a dedicated guide for that here](/guides/creating-a-custom-chatbot-with-blocks).\n\n", "heading1": "Additional Inputs", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Chatbot Fast Guide"}, {"text": "In the same way that you can accept additional inputs into your chat function, you can also return additional outputs. Simply pass in a list of components to the `additional_outputs` parameter in `gr.ChatInterface` and return additional values for each component from your chat function. Here's an example that extracts code and outputs it into a separate `gr.Code` component:\n\n$code_chatinterface_artifacts\n\n**Note:** unlike the case of additional inputs, the components passed in `additional_outputs` must be already defined in your `gr.Blocks` context -- they are not rendered automatically. If you need to render them after your `gr.ChatInterface`, you can set `render=False` when they are first defined and then `.render()` them in the appropriate section of your `gr.Blocks()` as we do in the example above.\n\n", "heading1": "Additional Outputs", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Chatbot Fast Guide"}, {"text": "We mentioned earlier that in the simplest case, your chat function should return a `str` response, which will be rendered as Markdown in the chatbot. However, you can also return more complex responses as we discuss below:\n\n\n**Returning files or Gradio components**\n\nCurrently, the following Gradio components can be displayed inside the chat interface:\n* `gr.Image`\n* `gr.Plot`\n* `gr.Audio`\n* `gr.HTML`\n* `gr.Video`\n* `gr.Gallery`\n* `gr.File`\n\nSimply return one of these components from your function to use it with `gr.ChatInterface`. Here's an example that returns an audio file:\n\n```py\nimport gradio as gr\n\ndef music(message, history):\n if message.strip():\n return gr.Audio(\"https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/raw/main/test/test_files/audio_sample.wav\")\n else:\n return \"Please provide the name of an artist\"\n\ngr.ChatInterface(\n music,\n textbox=gr.Textbox(placeholder=\"Which artist's music do you want to listen to?\", scale=7),\n).launch()\n```\n\nSimilarly, you could return image files with `gr.Image`, video files with `gr.Video`, or arbitrary files with the `gr.File` component.\n\n**Returning Multiple Messages**\n\nYou can return multiple assistant messages from your chat function simply by returning a `list` of messages, each of which is a valid chat type. This lets you, for example, send a message along with files, as in the following example:\n\n$code_chatinterface_echo_multimodal\n\n\n**Displaying intermediate thoughts or tool usage**\n\nThe `gr.ChatInterface` class supports displaying intermediate thoughts or tool usage direct in the chatbot.\n\n![](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/gradio-guides/nested-thought.png)\n\n To do this, you will need to return a `gr.ChatMessage` object from your chat function. Here is the schema of the `gr.ChatMessage` data class as well as two internal typed dictionaries:\n \n ```py\nMessageContent = Union[str, FileDataDict, FileData, Component]\n\n@dataclass\nclass ChatMessage:\n content: Me", "heading1": "Returning Complex Responses", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Chatbot Fast Guide"}, {"text": "ma of the `gr.ChatMessage` data class as well as two internal typed dictionaries:\n \n ```py\nMessageContent = Union[str, FileDataDict, FileData, Component]\n\n@dataclass\nclass ChatMessage:\n content: MessageContent | list[MessageContent]\n metadata: MetadataDict = None\n options: list[OptionDict] = None\n\nclass MetadataDict(TypedDict):\n title: NotRequired[str]\n id: NotRequired[int | str]\n parent_id: NotRequired[int | str]\n log: NotRequired[str]\n duration: NotRequired[float]\n status: NotRequired[Literal[\"pending\", \"done\"]]\n\nclass OptionDict(TypedDict):\n label: NotRequired[str]\n value: str\n ```\n \nAs you can see, the `gr.ChatMessage` dataclass is similar to the openai-style message format, e.g. it has a \"content\" key that refers to the chat message content. But it also includes a \"metadata\" key whose value is a dictionary. If this dictionary includes a \"title\" key, the resulting message is displayed as an intermediate thought with the title being displayed on top of the thought. Here's an example showing the usage:\n\n$code_chatinterface_thoughts\n\nYou can even show nested thoughts, which is useful for agent demos in which one tool may call other tools. To display nested thoughts, include \"id\" and \"parent_id\" keys in the \"metadata\" dictionary. Read our [dedicated guide on displaying intermediate thoughts and tool usage](/guides/agents-and-tool-usage) for more realistic examples.\n\n**Providing preset responses**\n\nWhen returning an assistant message, you may want to provide preset options that a user can choose in response. To do this, again, you will again return a `gr.ChatMessage` instance from your chat function. This time, make sure to set the `options` key specifying the preset responses.\n\nAs shown in the schema for `gr.ChatMessage` above, the value corresponding to the `options` key should be a list of dictionaries, each with a `value` (a string that is the value that should be sent to the chat function when this response is clicked) and an opt", "heading1": "Returning Complex Responses", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Chatbot Fast Guide"}, {"text": " corresponding to the `options` key should be a list of dictionaries, each with a `value` (a string that is the value that should be sent to the chat function when this response is clicked) and an optional `label` (if provided, is the text displayed as the preset response instead of the `value`). \n\nThis example illustrates how to use preset responses:\n\n$code_chatinterface_options\n\n", "heading1": "Returning Complex Responses", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Chatbot Fast Guide"}, {"text": "You may wish to modify the value of the chatbot with your own events, other than those prebuilt in the `gr.ChatInterface`.

We'll use Google's Gemini API for accessing Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking LLM and Gradio for the UI.\n\nWe'll begin with imports and setting up the gemini client.

We'll use Anthropic's Claude API with citations enabled and Gradio for the UI.\n\nWe'll begin with imports and setting up the Anthropic client. Note that you'll need an `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` environment variable set:\n\n```python\nimport gradio as gr\nimport anthropic\nimport base64\nfrom typing import List, Dict, Any\n\nclient = anthropic.Anthropic()\n```\n\nFirst, let's set up our message formatting functions that handle document preparation:\n\n```python\ndef encode_pdf_to_base64(file_obj) -> str:\n \"\"\"Convert uploaded PDF file to base64 string.\"\"\"\n if file_obj is None:\n return None\n with open(file_obj.na", "heading1": "Building with Visibly Thinking LLMs", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/agents-and-tool-usage", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Agents And Tool Usage Guide"}, {"text": "document preparation:\n\n```python\ndef encode_pdf_to_base64(file_obj) -> str:\n \"\"\"Convert uploaded PDF file to base64 string.\"\"\"\n if file_obj is None:\n return None\n with open(file_obj.name, 'rb') as f:\n return base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode('utf-8')\n\ndef format_message_history(\n history: list, \n enable_citations: bool,\n doc_type: str,\n text_input: str,\n pdf_file: str\n) -> List[Dict]:\n \"\"\"Convert Gradio chat history to Anthropic message format.\"\"\"\n formatted_messages = []\n \n Add previous messages\n for msg in history[:-1]:\n if msg[\"role\"] == \"user\":\n formatted_messages.append({\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": msg[\"content\"]})\n \n Prepare the latest message with document\n latest_message = {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": []}\n \n if enable_citations:\n if doc_type == \"plain_text\":\n latest_message[\"content\"].append({\n \"type\": \"document\",\n \"source\": {\n \"type\": \"text\",\n \"media_type\": \"text/plain\",\n \"data\": text_input.strip()\n },\n \"title\": \"Text Document\",\n \"citations\": {\"enabled\": True}\n })\n elif doc_type == \"pdf\" and pdf_file:\n pdf_data = encode_pdf_to_base64(pdf_file)\n if pdf_data:\n latest_message[\"content\"].append({\n \"type\": \"document\",\n \"source\": {\n \"type\": \"base64\",\n \"media_type\": \"application/pdf\",\n \"data\": pdf_data\n },\n \"title\": pdf_file.name,\n \"citations\": {\"enabled\": True}\n })\n \n Add the user's question\n latest_message[\"content\"].append({\"type\": \"text\", \"text\": history[-1][\"content\"]})\n \n formatted_messages.append(latest_message)\n return formatted_messages\n```\n\nThen, let's create our bot resp", "heading1": "Building with Visibly Thinking LLMs", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/agents-and-tool-usage", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Agents And Tool Usage Guide"}, {"text": "latest_message[\"content\"].append({\"type\": \"text\", \"text\": history[-1][\"content\"]})\n \n formatted_messages.append(latest_message)\n return formatted_messages\n```\n\nThen, let's create our bot response handler that processes citations:\n\n```python\ndef bot_response(\n history: list,\n enable_citations: bool,\n doc_type: str,\n text_input: str,\n pdf_file: str\n) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]:\n try:\n messages = format_message_history(history, enable_citations, doc_type, text_input, pdf_file)\n response = client.messages.create(model=\"claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022\", max_tokens=1024, messages=messages)\n \n Initialize main response and citations\n main_response = \"\"\n citations = []\n \n Process each content block\n for block in response.content:\n if block.type == \"text\":\n main_response += block.text\n if enable_citations and hasattr(block, 'citations') and block.citations:\n for citation in block.citations:\n if citation.cited_text not in citations:\n citations.append(citation.cited_text)\n \n Add main response\n history.append({\"role\": \"assistant\", \"content\": main_response})\n \n Add citations in a collapsible section\n if enable_citations and citations:\n history.append({\n \"role\": \"assistant\",\n \"content\": \"\\n\".join([f\"\u2022 {cite}\" for cite in citations]),\n \"metadata\": {\"title\": \"\ud83d\udcda Citations\"}\n })\n \n return history\n \n except Exception as e:\n history.append({\n \"role\": \"assistant\",\n \"content\": \"I apologize, but I encountered an error while processing your request.\"\n })\n return history\n```\n\nFinally, let's create the Gradio interface:\n\n```python\nwith gr.Blocks() as demo:\n gr.Markdown(\"Chat with Citations\")\n \n with gr.Row(sc", "heading1": "Building with Visibly Thinking LLMs", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/agents-and-tool-usage", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Agents And Tool Usage Guide"}, {"text": " your request.\"\n })\n return history\n```\n\nFinally, let's create the Gradio interface:\n\n```python\nwith gr.Blocks() as demo:\n gr.Markdown(\"Chat with Citations\")\n \n with gr.Row(scale=1):\n with gr.Column(scale=4):\n chatbot = gr.Chatbot(bubble_full_width=False, show_label=False, scale=1)\n msg = gr.Textbox(placeholder=\"Enter your message here...\", show_label=False, container=False)\n \n with gr.Column(scale=1):\n enable_citations = gr.Checkbox(label=\"Enable Citations\", value=True, info=\"Toggle citation functionality\" )\n doc_type_radio = gr.Radio( choices=[\"plain_text\", \"pdf\"], value=\"plain_text\", label=\"Document Type\", info=\"Choose the type of document to use\")\n text_input = gr.Textbox(label=\"Document Content\", lines=10, info=\"Enter the text you want to reference\")\n pdf_input = gr.File(label=\"Upload PDF\", file_types=[\".pdf\"], file_count=\"single\", visible=False)\n \n Handle message submission\n msg.submit(\n user_message,\n [msg, chatbot, enable_citations, doc_type_radio, text_input, pdf_input],\n [msg, chatbot]\n ).then(\n bot_response,\n [chatbot, enable_citations, doc_type_radio, text_input, pdf_input],\n chatbot\n )\n\ndemo.launch()\n```\n\nThis creates a chatbot that:\n- Supports both plain text and PDF documents for Claude to cite from \n- Displays Citations in collapsible sections using our `metadata` feature\n- Shows source quotes directly from the given documents\n\nThe citations feature works particularly well with the Gradio Chatbot's `metadata` support, allowing us to create collapsible sections that keep the chat interface clean while still providing easy access to source documentation.\n\nThat's it! You now have a chatbot that not only responds to users but also shows its sources, creating a more transparent and trustworthy interaction.

Select the workspace where you want to develop your app\n4. Under \"OAuth & Permissions\", scroll to \"Scopes\" and add these Bot Token Scopes:\n - `app_mentions:read`\n - `chat:write`\n - `files:read`\n - `files:write`\n5. In the same \"OAuth & Permissions\" page, scroll back up and click the button to install the app to your workspace.\n6. Note the \"Bot User OAuth Token\" (starts with `xoxb-`) that appears as we'll need it later\n7. Click on \"Socket Mode\" in the menu bar. When the page loads, click the toggle to \"Enable Socket Mode\"\n8. Give your token a name, such as `socket-token` and copy the token that is generated (starts with `xapp-`) as we'll need it later.\n9. Finally, go to the \"Event Subscription\" option in the menu bar. Click the toggle to \"Enable Events\" and subscribe to the `app_mention` bot event.\n\n2. Write a Slack bot\n\nLet's start by writing a very simple Slack bot, just to make sure that everything is working. Write the following Python code in a file called `bot.py`, pasting the two tokens from step 6 and step 8 in the previous section.\n\n```py\nfrom slack_bolt import App\nfrom slack_bolt.adapter.socket_mode import SocketModeHandler\n\nSLACK_BOT_TOKEN = PASTE YOUR SLACK BOT TOKEN HERE\nSLACK_APP_TOKEN = PASTE YOUR SLACK APP TOKEN HERE\n\napp = App(token=SLACK_BOT_TOKEN)\n\n@app.event(\"app_mention\")\ndef handle_app_mention_ev", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-slack-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Slack Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "eHandler\n\nSLACK_BOT_TOKEN = PASTE YOUR SLACK BOT TOKEN HERE\nSLACK_APP_TOKEN = PASTE YOUR SLACK APP TOKEN HERE\n\napp = App(token=SLACK_BOT_TOKEN)\n\n@app.event(\"app_mention\")\ndef handle_app_mention_events(body, say):\n user_id = body[\"event\"][\"user\"]\n say(f\"Hi <@{user_id}>!

Add the bot to your Slack Workplace\n\nNow, create a new channel or navigate to an existing channel in your Slack workspace where you want to use the bot. Click the \"+\" button next to \"Channels\" in your Slack sidebar and follow the prompts to create a new channel.\n\nFinally, invite your bot to the channel:\n1. In your new channel, type `/invite @YourBotName`\n2. Select your bot from the dropdown\n3. Click \"Invite to Channel\"\n\n4. That's it!\n\nNow you can mention your bot in any channel it's in, optionally attach an image, and it will respond with generated Gradio app code!\n\nThe bot will:\n1. Listen for mentions\n2. Process any attached images\n3. Send the text and images to your Gradio app\n4. Stream the responses back to the Slack channel\n\nThis is just a basic example - you can extend it to handle more types of files, add error handling, or integrate with different Gradio apps!\n\n![](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/gradio-guides/Screen%20Recording%202024-12-19%20at%203.30.00%E2%80%AFPM.gif)\n\nIf you build a Slack bot from a Gradio app, feel free to share it on X and tag [the Gradio account](https://x.com/Gr", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-slack-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Slack Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "/main/gradio-guides/Screen%20Recording%202024-12-19%20at%203.30.00%E2%80%AFPM.gif)\n\nIf you build a Slack bot from a Gradio app, feel free to share it on X and tag [the Gradio account](https://x.com/Gradio), and we are happy to help you amplify!", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-slack-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Slack Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "The Discord bot will listen to messages mentioning it in channels.

Copy it as we will need it for the next step.\n\nScroll down to the section that says \"Privileged Gateway Intents\". Your bot will need certain permissions to work correctly.

Write a Discord bot\n\nLet's start by writing a very simple Discord bot, just to make sure that everything is working. Write the following Python code in a file called `bot.py`, pasting the discord bot token from the previous step:\n\n```python\nbot.py\nimport discord\n\nTOKEN = PASTE YOUR DISCORD BOT TOKEN HERE\n\nclient = discord.Client()\n\n@client.event\nasync def on_ready():\n print(f'{client.user} has connected to Discord!')\n\nclient.run(TOKEN)\n```\n\nNow, run this file: `python bot.py`, w", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-discord-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Discord Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "CORD BOT TOKEN HERE\n\nclient = discord.Client()\n\n@client.event\nasync def on_ready():\n print(f'{client.user} has connected to Discord!')\n\nclient.run(TOKEN)\n```\n\nNow, run this file: `python bot.py`, which should run and print a message like:\n\n```text\nWe have logged in as GradioPlaygroundBot1451\n```\n\nIf that is working, we are ready to add Gradio-specific code. We will be using the [Gradio Python Client](https://www.gradio.app/guides/getting-started-with-the-python-client) to query the Gradio Playground Space mentioned above. Here's the updated `bot.py` file:\n\n```python\nimport discord\nfrom gradio_client import Client, handle_file\nimport httpx\nimport os\n\nTOKEN = PASTE YOUR DISCORD BOT TOKEN HERE\n\nintents = discord.Intents.default()\nintents.message_content = True\n\nclient = discord.Client(intents=intents)\ngradio_client = Client(\"abidlabs/gradio-playground-bot\")\n\ndef download_image(attachment):\n response = httpx.get(attachment.url)\n image_path = f\"./images/{attachment.filename}\"\n os.makedirs(\"./images\", exist_ok=True)\n with open(image_path, \"wb\") as f:\n f.write(response.content)\n return image_path\n\n@client.event\nasync def on_ready():\n print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')\n\n@client.event\nasync def on_message(message):\n Ignore messages from the bot itself\n if message.author == client.user:\n return\n\n Check if the bot is mentioned in the message and reply\n if client.user in message.mentions:\n Extract the message content without the bot mention\n clean_message = message.content.replace(f\"<@{client.user.id}>\", \"\").strip()\n\n Handle images (only the first image is used)\n files = []\n if message.attachments:\n for attachment in message.attachments:\n if any(attachment.filename.lower().endswith(ext) for ext in ['png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'webp']):\n image_path = download_image(attachment)\n files.append(handle_file(image_path))", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-discord-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Discord Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": ".filename.lower().endswith(ext) for ext in ['png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'webp']):\n image_path = download_image(attachment)\n files.append(handle_file(image_path))\n break\n \n Stream the responses to the channel\n for response in gradio_client.submit(\n message={\"text\": clean_message, \"files\": files},\n ):\n await message.channel.send(response[-1])\n\nclient.run(TOKEN)\n```\n\n3. Add the bot to your Discord Server\n\nNow we are ready to install the bot on our server. Go back to the [Discord apps dashboard](https://discord.com/developers/applications). Under the Settings section, click on the \"OAuth2\" option. Scroll down to the \"OAuth2 URL Generator\" box and select the \"bot\" checkbox:\n\n![](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/gradio-guides/discord-2.png)\n\n\n\nThen in \"Bot Permissions\" box that pops up underneath, enable the following permissions:\n\n![](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/gradio-guides/discord-1.png)\n\n\nCopy the generated URL that appears underneath, which should look something like:\n\n```text\nhttps://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1319011745452265575&permissions=377957238784&integration_type=0&scope=bot\n```\n\nPaste it into your browser, which should allow you to add the Discord bot to any Discord server that you manage.\n\n\n4. That's it!\n\nNow you can mention your bot from any channel in your Discord server, optionally attach an image, and it will respond with generated Gradio app code!\n\nThe bot will:\n1. Listen for mentions\n2. Process any attached images\n3. Send the text and images to your Gradio app\n4. Stream the responses back to the Discord channel\n\n This is just a basic example - you can extend it to handle more types of files, add error handling, or integrate with different Gradio apps.\n\n![](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-discord-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Discord Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "c example - you can extend it to handle more types of files, add error handling, or integrate with different Gradio apps.\n\n![](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/gradio-guides/Screen%20Recording%202024-12-18%20at%204.26.55%E2%80%AFPM.gif)\n\nIf you build a Discord bot from a Gradio app, feel free to share it on X and tag [the Gradio account](https://x.com/Gradio), and we are happy to help you amplify!", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-discord-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Discord Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "**Important Note**: if you are getting started, we recommend using the `gr.ChatInterface` to create chatbots -- its a high-level abstraction that makes it possible to create beautiful chatbot applications fast, often with a single line of code.

This will give you full control over your Chatbot UI. You'll start by first creating a a simple chatbot to display text, a second one to stream text responses, and finally a chatbot that can handle media files as well. The chatbot interface that we create will look something like this:\n\n$demo_chatbot_streaming\n\n**Prerequisite**: We'll be using the `gradio.Blocks` class to build our Chatbot demo.\nYou can [read the Guide to Blocks first](https://gradio.app/blocks-and-event-listeners) if you are not already familiar with it.

As you may have noticed, our bot simply randomly responds \"How are you?\", \"Today is a great day\", or \"I'm very hungry\" to any input. Here's the code to create this with Gradio:\n\n$code_chatbot_simple\n\nThere are three Gradio components here:\n\n- A `Chatbot`, whose value stores the entire history of the conversation, as a list of response pairs between the user and bot.\n- A `Textbox` where the user can type their message, and then hit enter/submit to trigger the chatbot response\n- A `ClearButton` button to clear the Textbox and entire Chatbot history\n\nWe have a single function, `respond()`, which takes in the entire history of the chatbot, appends a random message, waits 1 second, and then returns the updated chat history. The `respond()` function also clears the textbox when it returns.\n\nOf course, in practice, you would replace `respond()` with your own more complex function, which might call a pretrained model or an API, to generate a response.\n\n$demo_chatbot_simple\n\nTip: For better type hinting and auto-completion in your IDE, you can use the `gr.ChatMessage` dataclass:\n\n```python\nfrom gradio import ChatMessage\n\ndef chat_function(message, history):\n history.append(ChatMessage(role=\"user\", content=message))\n history.append(ChatMessage(role=\"assistant\", content=\"Hello, how can I help you?\"))\n return history\n```\n\n", "heading1": "A Simple Chatbot Demo", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-custom-chatbot-with-blocks", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Custom Chatbot With Blocks Guide"}, {"text": "There are several ways we can improve the user experience of the chatbot above. First, we can stream responses so the user doesn't have to wait as long for a message to be generated. Second, we can have the user message appear immediately in the chat history, while the chatbot's response is being generated. Here's the code to achieve that:\n\n$code_chatbot_streaming\n\nYou'll notice that when a user submits their message, we now _chain_ two event events with `.then()`:\n\n1. The first method `user()` updates the chatbot with the user message and clears the input field. Because we want this to happen instantly, we set `queue=False`, which would skip any queue had it been enabled. The chatbot's history is appended with `{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": user_message}`.\n\n2. The second method, `bot()` updates the chatbot history with the bot's response. Finally, we construct the message character by character and `yield` the intermediate outputs as they are being constructed. Gradio automatically turns any function with the `yield` keyword [into a streaming output interface](/guides/key-features/iterative-outputs).\n\n\nOf course, in practice, you would replace `bot()` with your own more complex function, which might call a pretrained model or an API, to generate a response.\n\n\n", "heading1": "Add Streaming to your Chatbot", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-custom-chatbot-with-blocks", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Custom Chatbot With Blocks Guide"}, {"text": "The `gr.Chatbot` component supports a subset of markdown including bold, italics, and code. For example, we could write a function that responds to a user's message, with a bold **That's cool!**, like this:\n\n```py\ndef bot(history):\n response = {\"role\": \"assistant\", \"content\": \"**That's cool!**\"}\n history.append(response)\n return history\n```\n\nIn addition, it can handle media files, such as images, audio, and video. You can use the `MultimodalTextbox` component to easily upload all types of media files to your chatbot. You can customize the `MultimodalTextbox` further by passing in the `sources` parameter, which is a list of sources to enable. To pass in a media file, we must pass in the file a dictionary with a `path` key pointing to a local file and an `alt_text` key. The `alt_text` is optional, so you can also just pass in a tuple with a single element `{\"path\": \"filepath\"}`, like this:\n\n```python\ndef add_message(history, message):\n for x in message[\"files\"]:\n history.append({\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": {\"path\": x}})\n if message[\"text\"] is not None:\n history.append({\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": message[\"text\"]})\n return history, gr.MultimodalTextbox(value=None, interactive=False, file_types=[\"image\"], sources=[\"upload\", \"microphone\"])\n```\n\nPutting this together, we can create a _multimodal_ chatbot with a multimodal textbox for a user to submit text and media files. The rest of the code looks pretty much the same as before:\n\n$code_chatbot_multimodal\n$demo_chatbot_multimodal\n\nAnd you're done!

In order to stream the audio from the server, we'll set `streaming=True` in the output Audio component. We'll also set `autoplay=True` so that the audio plays as soon as it's ready.\nWe'll be using the Audio input component's `stop_recording` event to trigger our application's logic when a user stops recording from their microphone.\n\nWe're separating the logic into two parts. First, `generate_response` will take the recorded audio, transcribe it and generate a response with an LLM. We're going to store the response in a `gr.State` variable that then gets passed to the `read_response` function that generates the audio.\n\nWe're doing this in two parts because only `read_response` will require a GPU. Our app will run on Hugging Faces [ZeroGPU](https://huggingface.co/zero-gpu-explorers) which has time-based quotas.

Then I pass the question to an LLM (Mistal-7B-Instruct) to generate a response. We are prompting the LLM to act like a magic 8 ball with the system message.\n\nOur `generate_response` function will also send empty updates to the output textbox and audio components (returning `None`). \nThis is because I want the Gradio progress tracker to be displayed over the components but I don't want to display the answer until the audio is ready.\n\n\n```python\nfrom huggingface_hub import InferenceClient\n\nclient = InferenceClient(token=os.getenv(\"HF_TOKEN\"))\n\ndef generate_response(audio):\n gr.Info(\"Transcribing Audio\", duration=5)\n question = client.automatic_speech_recognition(audio).text\n\n messages = [{\"role\": \"system\", \"content\": (\"You are a magic 8 ball.\"\n \"Someone will present to you a situation or question and your job \"\n \"is to answer with a cryptic adage or proverb such as \"\n \"'curiosity killed the cat' or 'The early bird gets the worm'.\"\n \"Keep your answers short and do not include the phrase 'Magic 8 Ball' in your response.

Each instance will have its own fresh list of conversations, making sure chat history is isolated to each session. \n\n---\n\nTranscribing Audio with Whisper on Groq\n\nNext, we\u2019ll create a function to transcribe the user\u2019s audio input into text using Whisper, a powerful transcription model hosted on Groq.

The process_whisper_response function takes the resulting completion from Whisper and checks if the audio was j", "heading1": "Key Components", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/automatic-voice-detection", "source_page_title": "Streaming - Automatic Voice Detection Guide"}, {"text": "ext.strip()\n \n return None\n```\n\nWe also need to interpret the audio data response. The process_whisper_response function takes the resulting completion from Whisper and checks if the audio was just background noise or had actual speaking that was transcribed. It uses a threshold of 0.7 to interpret the no_speech_prob, and will return None if there was no speech. Otherwise, it will return the text transcript of the conversational response from the human.\n\n\n---\n\nAdding Conversational Intelligence with LLM Integration\n\nOur chatbot needs to provide intelligent, friendly responses that flow naturally. We\u2019ll use a Groq-hosted Llama-3.2 for this:\n\n```python\ndef generate_chat_completion(client, history):\n messages = []\n messages.append(\n {\n \"role\": \"system\",\n \"content\": \"In conversation with the user, ask questions to estimate and provide (1) total calories, (2) protein, carbs, and fat in grams, (3) fiber and sugar content. Only ask *one question at a time*. Be conversational and natural.\",\n }\n )\n\n for message in history:\n messages.append(message)\n\n try:\n completion = client.chat.completions.create(\n model=\"llama-3.2-11b-vision-preview\",\n messages=messages,\n )\n return completion.choices[0].message.content\n except Exception as e:\n return f\"Error in generating chat completion: {str(e)}\"\n```\n\nWe\u2019re defining a system prompt to guide the chatbot\u2019s behavior, ensuring it asks one question at a time and keeps things conversational. This setup also includes error handling to ensure the app gracefully manages any issues.\n\n---\n\nVoice Activity Detection for Hands-Free Interaction\n\nTo make our chatbot hands-free, we\u2019ll add Voice Activity Detection (VAD) to automatically detect when someone starts or stops speaking. Here\u2019s how to implement it using ONNX in JavaScript:\n\n```javascript\nasync function main() {\n const script1 = document.createElement(\"script\");\n scrip", "heading1": "Key Components", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/automatic-voice-detection", "source_page_title": "Streaming - Automatic Voice Detection Guide"}, {"text": "ly detect when someone starts or stops speaking. Here\u2019s how to implement it using ONNX in JavaScript:\n\n```javascript\nasync function main() {\n const script1 = document.createElement(\"script\");\n script1.src = \"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/onnxruntime-web@1.14.0/dist/ort.js\";\n document.head.appendChild(script1)\n const script2 = document.createElement(\"script\");\n script2.onload = async () => {\n console.log(\"vad loaded\");\n var record = document.querySelector('.record-button');\n record.textContent = \"Just Start Talking!\"\n \n const myvad = await vad.MicVAD.new({\n onSpeechStart: () => {\n var record = document.querySelector('.record-button');\n var player = document.querySelector('streaming-out')\n if (record != null && (player == null || player.paused)) {\n record.click();\n }\n },\n onSpeechEnd: (audio) => {\n var stop = document.querySelector('.stop-button');\n if (stop != null) {\n stop.click();\n }\n }\n })\n myvad.start()\n }\n script2.src = \"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ricky0123/vad-web@0.0.7/dist/bundle.min.js\";\n}\n```\n\nThis script loads our VAD model and sets up functions to start and stop recording automatically. When the user starts speaking, it triggers the recording, and when they stop, it ends the recording.\n\n---\n\nBuilding a User Interface with Gradio\n\nNow, let\u2019s create an intuitive and visually appealing user interface with Gradio. This interface will include an audio input for capturing voice, a chat window for displaying responses, and state management to keep things synchronized.\n\n```python\nwith gr.Blocks() as demo:\n with gr.Row():\n input_audio = gr.Audio(\n label=\"Input Audio\",\n sources=[\"microphone\"],\n type=\"numpy\",\n streaming=False,\n waveform_options=gr.WaveformOptions(waveform_color=\"B83A4B\"),\n )\n with gr.Row():\n chatbot = gr.Chatbot(label=\"Conversation\")\n state = g", "heading1": "Key Components", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/automatic-voice-detection", "source_page_title": "Streaming - Automatic Voice Detection Guide"}, {"text": "\",\n streaming=False,\n waveform_options=gr.WaveformOptions(waveform_color=\"B83A4B\"),\n )\n with gr.Row():\n chatbot = gr.Chatbot(label=\"Conversation\")\n state = gr.State(value=AppState())\ndemo.launch(theme=theme, js=js)\n```\n\nIn this code block, we\u2019re using Gradio\u2019s `Blocks` API to create an interface with an audio input, a chat display, and an application state manager. The color customization for the waveform adds a nice visual touch.\n\n---\n\nHandling Recording and Responses\n\nFinally, let\u2019s link the recording and response components to ensure the app reacts smoothly to user inputs and provides responses in real-time.\n\n```python\n stream = input_audio.start_recording(\n process_audio,\n [input_audio, state],\n [input_audio, state],\n )\n respond = input_audio.stop_recording(\n response, [state, input_audio], [state, chatbot]\n )\n```\n\nThese lines set up event listeners for starting and stopping the recording, processing the audio input, and generating responses. By linking these events, we create a cohesive experience where users can simply talk, and the chatbot handles the rest.\n\n---\n\n", "heading1": "Key Components", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/automatic-voice-detection", "source_page_title": "Streaming - Automatic Voice Detection Guide"}, {"text": "1. When you open the app, the VAD system automatically initializes and starts listening for speech\n2. As soon as you start talking, it triggers the recording automatically\n3. When you stop speaking, the recording ends and:\n - The audio is transcribed using Whisper\n - The transcribed text is sent to the LLM\n - The LLM generates a response about calorie tracking\n - The response is displayed in the chat interface\n4. This creates a natural back-and-forth conversation where you can simply talk about your meals and get instant feedback on nutritional content\n\nThis app demonstrates how to create a natural voice interface that feels responsive and intuitive. By combining Groq's fast inference with automatic speech detection, we've eliminated the need for manual recording controls while maintaining high-quality interactions. The result is a practical calorie tracking assistant that users can simply talk to as naturally as they would to a human nutritionist.\n\nLink to GitHub repository: [Groq Gradio Basics](https://github.com/bklieger-groq/gradio-groq-basics/tree/main/calorie-tracker)", "heading1": "Summary", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/automatic-voice-detection", "source_page_title": "Streaming - Automatic Voice Detection Guide"}, {"text": "Automatic speech recognition (ASR), the conversion of spoken speech to text, is a very important and thriving area of machine learning. ASR algorithms run on practically every smartphone, and are becoming increasingly embedded in professional workflows, such as digital assistants for nurses and doctors. Because ASR algorithms are designed to be used directly by customers and end users, it is important to validate that they are behaving as expected when confronted with a wide variety of speech patterns (different accents, pitches, and background audio conditions).\n\nUsing `gradio`, you can easily build a demo of your ASR model and share that with a testing team, or test it yourself by speaking through the microphone on your device.\n\nThis tutorial will show how to take a pretrained speech-to-text model and deploy it with a Gradio interface. We will start with a **_full-context_** model, in which the user speaks the entire audio before the prediction runs. Then we will adapt the demo to make it **_streaming_**, meaning that the audio model will convert speech as you speak. \n\nPrerequisites\n\nMake sure you have the `gradio` Python package already [installed](/getting_started). You will also need a pretrained speech recognition model. In this tutorial, we will build demos from 2 ASR libraries:\n\n- Transformers (for this, `pip install torch transformers torchaudio`)\n\nMake sure you have at least one of these installed so that you can follow along the tutorial. You will also need `ffmpeg` [installed on your system](https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html), if you do not already have it, to process files from the microphone.\n\nHere's how to build a real time speech recognition (ASR) app:\n\n1.

Set `streaming=True` in the `Audio` component\n2. Set `live=True` in the `Interface`\n3. Add a `state` to the interface to store the recorded audio of a user\n\nTip: You can also set `time_limit` and `stream_every` parameters in the interface. The `time_limit` caps the amount of time each user's stream can take. The default is 30 seconds so users won't be able to stream audio for more than 30 seconds. The `stream_every` parameter controls how frequently data is sent to your function. By default it is 0.5 seconds.\n\nTake a look below.\n\n$code_stream_asr\n\nNotice that we now have a state variable because we need to track all the audio history. `transcribe` gets called whenever there is a new small chunk of audio, but we also need to keep track of all the audio spoken so far in the state. As the interface runs, the `transcribe` function gets called, with a record of all the previously spoken audio in the `stream` and the new chunk of audio as `new_chunk`. We return the new full audio to be stored back in its current state, and we also return the transcription. Here, we naively append the audio together and call the `transcriber` object on the entire audio. You can imagine more efficient ways of handling this, such as re-processing only the last 5 seconds of audio whenever a new chunk of audio is received. \n\n$demo_stream_asr\n\nNow the ASR model will run inference as you speak! \n", "heading1": "3.

Whenever we call `cap.read()`, we are reading the next frame in the video.\n\nIn order to stream video in Gradio, we need to yield a different video file for each \"chunk\" of the output video.\nWe create the next video file to write to with the `output_video = cv2.VideoWriter(output_video_name, video_codec, desired_fps, (width, height))` line. The `video_codec` is how we specify the type of video file. Only \"mp4\" and \"ts\" files are supported for video sreaming at the moment.\n\n\n2. **The Inference Loop**\n\nFor each frame i", "heading1": "The Inference Function", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/object-detection-from-video", "source_page_title": "Streaming - Object Detection From Video Guide"}, {"text": "dth, height))` line. The `video_codec` is how we specify the type of video file. Only \"mp4\" and \"ts\" files are supported for video sreaming at the moment.\n\n\n2. **The Inference Loop**\n\nFor each frame in the video, we will resize it to be half the size. OpenCV reads files in `BGR` format, so will convert to the expected `RGB` format of transfomers. That's what the first two lines of the while loop are doing. \n\nWe take every other frame and add it to a `batch` list so that the output video is half the original FPS. When the batch covers two seconds of video, we will run the model. The two second threshold was chosen to keep the processing time of each batch small enough so that video is smoothly displayed in the server while not requiring too many separate forward passes. In order for video streaming to work properly in Gradio, the batch size should be at least 1 second. \n\nWe run the forward pass of the model and then use the `post_process_object_detection` method of the model to scale the detected bounding boxes to the size of the input frame.\n\nWe make use of a custom function to draw the bounding boxes (source [here](https://huggingface.co/spaces/gradio/rt-detr-object-detection/blob/main/draw_boxes.pyL14)).

You can extend these themes or create your own themes from scratch - see the [Theming guide](/guides/theming-guide) for more details.\n\nFor additional styling ability, you can pass any CSS to your app as a string using the `css=` kwarg in the `launch()` method. You can also pass a pathlib.Path to a css file or a list of such paths to the `css_paths=` kwarg in the `launch()` method.\n\n**Warning**: The use of query selectors in custom JS and CSS is _not_ guaranteed to work across Gradio versions that bind to Gradio's own HTML elements as the Gradio HTML DOM may change.

When using `Blocks` and event listeners, events have a `js` argument that can take a JavaScript function as a string and treat it just like a Python event listener function. You can pass both a JavaScript function and a Python function (in which case the JavaScript function is run first) or only Javascript (and set the Python `fn` to `None`). Take a look at the code below:\n \n$code_blocks_js_methods\n$demo_blocks_js_methods\n\n3. Lastly, you can add JavaScript code to the `head` param of the `Blocks` initializer.

The `@gr.render` decorator enables this with the following steps:\n\n1. Create a function and attach the @gr.render decorator to it.\n2. Add the input components to the `inputs=` argument of @gr.render, and create a corresponding argument in your function for each component. This function will automatically re-run on any change to a component.\n3. Add all components inside the function that you want to render based on the inputs.\n\nNow whenever the inputs change, the function re-runs, and replaces the components created from the previous function run with the latest run.

The state variable `text_count` is keeping track of the number of Textboxes to create. By clicking on the Add button, we increase `text_count` which triggers the render decorator.\n2. Note that in every single Textbox we create in the render function, we explicitly set a `key=` argument. This key allows us to preserve the value of this Component between re-renders. If you type in a value in a textbox, and then click the Add button, all the Textboxes re-render, but their values aren't cleared because the `key=` maintains the the value of a Component across a render.\n3. We've stored the Textboxes created in a list, and provide this list as input to the merge button event listener. Note that **all event listeners that use Components created inside a render function must also be defined inside that render function**. The event listener can still reference Components outside the render function, as we do here by referencing `merge_btn` and `output` which are both defined outside the render function.\n\nJust as with Components, whenever a function re-renders, the event listeners created from the previous render are cleared and the new event listeners from the latest run are attached. \n\nThis allows us to create highly customizable and complex interactions! \n\n", "heading1": "Dynamic Event Listeners", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/dynamic-apps-with-render-decorator", "source_page_title": "Building With Blocks - Dynamic Apps With Render Decorator Guide"}, {"text": "The `key=` argument tells Gradio that a component being created in a render function corresponds to the same logical component as in the previous render.\n\nThis allows Gradio to reuse the existing browser element instead of destroying and recreating it on every render. It also preserves the user's entered value across re-renders when the same keyed component is recreated.\n\nIf your component is nested inside layout items like `gr.Row`, make sure those containers are keyed consistently as well, because parent keys must also match.\n\nYou can also key event listeners, for example `button.click(key=...)`, when the same listener is recreated with the same inputs and outputs across renders. This helps Gradio keep the listener associated with the correct component instances and can prevent issues when events finish processing after a re-render.\n\n", "heading1": "Closer Look at `keys=` parameter", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/dynamic-apps-with-render-decorator", "source_page_title": "Building With Blocks - Dynamic Apps With Render Decorator Guide"}, {"text": "Let's look at two examples that use all the features above. First, try out the to-do list app below: \n\n$code_todo_list\n$demo_todo_list\n\nNote that almost the entire app is inside a single `gr.render` that reacts to the tasks `gr.State` variable. This variable is a nested list, which presents some complexity. If you design a `gr.render` to react to a list or dict structure, ensure you do the following:\n\n1. Any event listener that modifies a state variable in a manner that should trigger a re-render must set the state variable as an output. This lets Gradio know to check if the variable has changed behind the scenes. \n2. In a `gr.render`, if a variable in a loop is used inside an event listener function, that variable should be \"frozen\" via setting it to itself as a default argument in the function header. See how we have `task=task` in both `mark_done` and `delete`. This freezes the variable to its \"loop-time\" value.\n\nLet's take a look at one last example that uses everything we learned. Below is an audio mixer. Provide multiple audio tracks and mix them together.\n\n$code_audio_mixer\n$demo_audio_mixer\n\nTwo things to note in this app:\n1. Here we provide `key=` to all the components! We need to do this so that if we add another track after setting the values for an existing track, our input values to the existing track do not get reset on re-render.\n2. When there are lots of components of different types and arbitrary counts passed to an event listener, it is easier to use the set and dictionary notation for inputs rather than list notation. Above, we make one large set of all the input `gr.Audio` and `gr.Slider` components when we pass the inputs to the `merge` function. In the function body we query the component values as a dict.\n\nThe `gr.render` expands gradio capabilities extensively - see what you can make out of it! \n", "heading1": "Putting it Together", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/dynamic-apps-with-render-decorator", "source_page_title": "Building With Blocks - Dynamic Apps With Render Decorator Guide"}, {"text": "The `gr.HTML` component can also be used to create custom input components by triggering events. You will provide `js_on_load`, javascript code that runs when the component loads.

We add click event listeners to each star image to update the value via `props.value` when a star is clicked. This also re-renders the template to show the updated value. We also add a click event listener to the submit button that triggers the `submit` event. In our app, we listen to this trigger to run a function that outputs the `value` of the star rating.\n\nThe `js_on_load` scope also includes an `upload` async function that lets you upload a JavaScript `File` object directly to the Gradio server.

To reiterate, session data is _not_ shared between different users of your model, and does _not_ persist if a user refreshes the page to reload the Gradio app. To store data in a session state, you need to do three things:\n\n1. Create a `gr.State()` object. If there is a default value to this stateful object, pass that into the constructor. Note that `gr.State` objects must be [deepcopy-able](https://docs.python.org/3/library/copy.html), otherwise you will need to use a different approach as described below.\n2.

We store the cart items in a `gr.State()` object, initialized here to be an empty list.\n2. When adding items to the cart, the event listener uses the cart as both input and output - it returns the updated cart with all the items inside. \n3.

Here, `cart` is not visible in the frontend but is used for calculations.\n\nThe `.change` listener for a state variable triggers after any event listener changes the value of a state variable. If the state variable holds a sequence (like a `list`, `set`, or `dict`), a change is triggered if any of the elements inside change. If it holds an object or primitive, a change is triggered if the **hash** of the value changes.

Gradio copies files to a cache directory before returning them to the frontend. This prevents files from being overwritten by one user while they are still needed by another user of your application. For example, if your prediction function returns a video file, then Gradio will move that video to the cache after your prediction function runs and returns a URL the frontend can use to show the video. Any file in the cache is available via URL to all users of your running application.\n\nTip: You can customize the location of the cache by setting the `GRADIO_TEMP_DIR` environment variable to an absolute path, such as `/home/usr/scripts/project/temp/`. \n\nFiles Gradio moves to the cache\n\nGradio moves three kinds of files into the cache\n\n1. Files specified by the developer before runtime, e.g. cached examples, default values of components, or files passed into parameters such as the `avatar_images` of `gr.Chatbot`\n\n2. File paths returned by a prediction function in your Gradio application, if they ALSO meet one of the conditions below:\n\n* It is in the `allowed_paths` parameter of the `Blocks.launch` method.\n* It is in the current working directory of the python interpreter.\n* It is in the temp directory obtained by `tempfile.gettempdir()`.\n\n**Note:** files in the current working directory whose name starts with a period (`.`) will not be moved to the cache, even if they are returned from a prediction function, since they often contain sensitive information. \n\nIf none of these criteria are met, the prediction function that is returning that file will raise an exception instead of moving the file to cache. Gradio performs this check so that arbitrary files on your machine cannot be accessed.\n\n3. Files uploaded by a user to your Gradio app (e.g. through the `File` or `Image` input components).\n\nTip: If at any time Gradio blocks a file that you would like it to process, add its path to the `allowed_paths` p", "heading1": "The Gradio cache", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/file-access", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - File Access Guide"}, {"text": "d by a user to your Gradio app (e.g. through the `File` or `Image` input components).\n\nTip: If at any time Gradio blocks a file that you would like it to process, add its path to the `allowed_paths` parameter.\n\n", "heading1": "The Gradio cache", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/file-access", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - File Access Guide"}, {"text": "While running, Gradio apps will NOT ALLOW users to access:\n\n- **Files that you explicitly block via the `blocked_paths` parameter in `launch()`**.

This parameter takes precedence over the files that Gradio exposes by default, or by the `allowed_paths` parameter or the `gr.set_static_paths` function.\n\n- **Any other paths on the host machine**.

You can set a maximum file size for uploads to prevent abuse and to preserve disk space. You can do this with the `max_file_size` parameter of `.launch`. For example, the following two code snippets limit file uploads to 5 megabytes per file.\n\n```python\nimport gradio as gr\n\ndemo = gr.Interface(lambda x: x, \"image\", \"image\")\n\ndemo.launch(max_file_size=\"5mb\")\nor\ndemo.launch(max_file_size=5 * gr.FileSize.MB)\n```\n\n", "heading1": "Uploading Files", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/file-access", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - File Access Guide"}, {"text": "* Set a `max_file_size` for your application.\n* Do not return arbitrary user input from a function that is connected to a file-based output component (`gr.Image`, `gr.File`, etc.). For example, the following interface would allow anyone to move an arbitrary file in your local directory to the cache: `gr.Interface(lambda s: s, \"text\", \"file\")`. This is because the user input is treated as an arbitrary file path. \n* Make `allowed_paths` as small as possible. If a path in `allowed_paths` is a directory, any file within that directory can be accessed. Make sure the entires of `allowed_paths` only contains files related to your application.\n* Run your gradio application from the same directory the application file is located in. This will narrow the scope of files Gradio will be allowed to move into the cache. For example, prefer `python app.py` to `python Users/sources/project/app.py`.\n\n\n", "heading1": "Best Practices", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/file-access", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - File Access Guide"}, {"text": "Both `gr.set_static_paths` and the `allowed_paths` parameter in launch expect absolute paths.

You can change this by using the `api_name` parameter in `gr.Interface` or `gr.ChatInterface`. If you are using Gradio `Blocks`, you can name each event listener, like this:\n\n```python\nbtn.click(add, [num1, num2], output, api_name=\"addition\")\n```\n\n**Controlling API endpoint visibility**\n\nWhen building a complex Gradio app, you might want to control how API endpoints appear or behave. Use the `api_visibility` parameter in any `Blocks` event listener to control this:\n\n- `\"public\"` (default): The endpoint is shown in API docs and accessible to all\n- `\"undocumented\"`: The endpoint is hidden from API docs but still accessible to downstream apps\n- `\"private\"`: The endpoint is hidden from API docs and not callable by the Gradio client libraries (e.g. `gradio_client` or `@gradio/client`). Note: this does **not** block direct HTTP requests to the endpoint \u2014 it should not be relied upon as a security measure.\n\nTo hide an API endpoint from the documentation while still allowing programmatic access:\n\n```python\nbtn.click(add, [num1, num2], output, api_visibility=\"undocumented\")\n```\n\n**Hiding endpoints from client libraries**\n\nIf you want to hide an API endpoint from the API docs and prevent it from being called by the Gradio client libraries, set `api_visibility=\"private\"`:\n\n```python\nbtn.click(add, [num1, num2], output, api_visibility=\"private\")\n```\n\nNote: setting `api_visibility=\"private\"` also means that downstream apps will not be able to load your Gradio app using `gr.load()` as this function uses the Gradio API under the hood. However, the underlying HTTP endpoint is still accessible \u2014 this setting should not be relied upon for security.\n\n**Adding API endpoints**\n\nYou can also add new API routes to your Gradio application that do not correspond to events in your UI.\n\nFor example, in this Gradio application, we add a new route that ad", "heading1": "Configuring the API Page", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/view-api-page", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - View Api Page Guide"}, {"text": "\n\n**Adding API endpoints**\n\nYou can also add new API routes to your Gradio application that do not correspond to events in your UI.\n\nFor example, in this Gradio application, we add a new route that adds numbers and slices a list:\n\n```py\nimport gradio as gr\nwith gr.Blocks() as demo:\n with gr.Row():\n input = gr.Textbox()\n button = gr.Button(\"Submit\")\n output = gr.Textbox()\n def fn(a: int, b: int, c: list[str]) -> tuple[int, str]:\n return a + b, c[a:b]\n gr.api(fn, api_name=\"add_and_slice\")\n\n_, url, _ = demo.launch()\n```\n\nThis will create a new route `/add_and_slice` which will show up in the \"view API\" page. It can be programmatically called by the Python or JS Clients (discussed below) like this:\n\n```py\nfrom gradio_client import Client\n\nclient = Client(url)\nresult = client.predict(\n a=3,\n b=5,\n c=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10],\n api_name=\"/add_and_slice\"\n)\nprint(result)\n```\n\n", "heading1": "Configuring the API Page", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/view-api-page", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - View Api Page Guide"}, {"text": "This API page not only lists all of the endpoints that can be used to query the Gradio app, but also shows the usage of both [the Gradio Python client](https://gradio.app/guides/getting-started-with-the-python-client/), and [the Gradio JavaScript client](https://gradio.app/guides/getting-started-with-the-js-client/). \n\nFor each endpoint, Gradio automatically generates a complete code snippet with the parameters and their types, as well as example inputs, allowing you to immediately test an endpoint.

Embedding an interactive demo allows people to try out the machine learning model that you have built, without needing to download or install anything \u2014 right in their browser! The best part is that you can embed interactive demos even in static websites, such as GitHub pages.\n\nThere are two ways to embed your Gradio demos. You can find quick links to both options directly on the Hugging Face Space page, in the \"Embed this Space\" dropdown option:\n\n![Embed this Space dropdown option](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/blob/main/guides/assets/embed_this_space.png?raw=true)\n\nEmbedding with Web Components\n\nWeb components typically offer a better experience to users than IFrames. Web components load lazily, meaning that they won't slow down the loading time of your website, and they automatically adjust their height based on the size of the Gradio app.\n\nTo embed with Web Components:\n\n1.

Accepts a `username/space_name` instead of a full URL. Example: `gradio/Echocardiogram-Segmentation`. If this attribute attribute is provided, then `src` does not need to be provided.\n- `control_page_title`: a boolean designating whether the html title of the page should be set to the title of the Gradio app (by default `\"false\"`)\n- `initial_height`: the initial height of the web component while it is loading the Gradio app, (by default `\"300px\"`). Note that the final height is set based on the size of the Gradio app.\n- `container`: whether to show the border frame and information about where the Space is hosted (by default `\"true\"`)\n- `info`: whether to show just the information about where the Space is hosted underneath the embedded app (by default `\"true\"`)\n- `autoscroll`: whether to autoscroll to the output when prediction has finished (by default `\"false\"`)\n- `eager`: whether to load the Gradio app as soon as the page loads (by default `\"false\"`)\n- `theme_mode`: whether to use the `dark`, `light`, or default `system` theme mode (by default `\"system\"`)\n- `render`: an event that is triggered once the embedded space has finished rendering.\n\nHere's an example of how to use these attributes to create a Gradio app that does not lazy load and has an initial height of 0px.\n\n```html\n\n```\n\nHere's another example of how to use the `render` event. An event listener is used to capture the `render` event and will call the `handleLoadComplete()` function once rendering is complete.\n\n```html\n\n```\n\n_Note: While Gradio's CSS will never impact the embedding page, the embedding page can affect the style of the embedded Gradio app. Make sure that any CSS in the parent page isn't so general that it could also apply to the embedded Gradio app and cause the styling to break. Element selectors such as `header { ... }` and `footer { ... }` will be the most likely to cause issues._\n\nEmbedding with IFrames\n\nTo embed with IFrames instead (if you cannot add javascript to your website, for example), add this element:\n\n```html\n\n```\n\nAgain, you can find the `src=` attribute to your Space's embed URL, which you can find in the \"Embed this Space\" button.\n\nNote: if you use IFrames, you'll probably want to add a fixed `height` attribute and set `style=\"border:0;\"` to remove the border.

This is not the case by default for Safari or for Chrome Incognito Mode.\n\nIf users visit the `/logout` page of your Gradio app, they will automatically be logged out and session cookies deleted. This allows you to add logout functionality to your Gradio app as well.

If you want to log out only from the **current session**, add the query parameter `all_session=false` (i.e. `/logout?all_session=false`).\n\nNote: Gradio's built-in authentication provides a straightforward and basic layer of access control but does not offer robust security features for applications that require stringent access controls (e.g. multi-factor authentication, rate limiting, or automatic lockout policies).\n\nOAuth (Login via Hugging Face)\n\nGradio natively supports OAuth login via Hugging Face. In other words, you can easily add a _\"Sign in with Hugging Face\"_ button to your demo, which allows you to get a user's HF username as well as other information from their HF profile. Check out [this Space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Wauplin/gradio-oauth-demo) for a live demo.\n\nTo enable OAuth, you must set `hf_oauth: true` as a Space metadata in your README.md file. This will register your Space\nas an OAuth application on Hugging Face. Next, you can use `gr.LoginButton` to add a login button to\nyour Gradio app. Once a user is logged in with their HF account, you can retrieve their profile by adding a parameter of type\n`gr.OAuthProfile` to any Gradio function. The user profile will be automatically injected as a parameter value. If you want\nto perform actions on behalf of the user (e.g. list user's private repos, create repo, etc.), you can retrieve the user\ntoken by adding a parameter of type `gr.OAuthToken`.

\n\n
\n\nUsers can revoke access to their profile at any time in their [settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/connected-applications).\n\nAs seen above, OAuth features are available only when your app runs in a Space. However, you often need to test your app\nlocally before deploying it. To test OAuth features locally, your machine must be logged in to Hugging Face. Please run `huggingface-cli login` or set `HF_TOKEN` as environment variable with one of your access token. You can generate a new token in your settings page (https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens). Then, clicking on the `gr.LoginButton` will log in to your local Hugging Face profile, allowing you to debug your app with your Hugging Face account before deploying it to a Space.\n\n**Security Note**: It is important to note that adding a `gr.LoginButton` does not restrict users from using your app, in the same way that adding [username-password authentication](/guides/sharing-your-apppassword-protected-app) does. This means that users of your app who have not logged in with Hugging Face can still access and run events in your Gradio app -- the difference is that the `gr.OAuthProfile` or `gr.OAuthToken` will be `None` in the corresponding functions.\n\n\nOAuth (with external providers)\n\nIt is also possible to authenticate with external OAuth pr", "heading1": "Authentication", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/sharing-your-app", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - Sharing Your App Guide"}, {"text": "erence is that the `gr.OAuthProfile` or `gr.OAuthToken` will be `None` in the corresponding functions.\n\n\nOAuth (with external providers)\n\nIt is also possible to authenticate with external OAuth providers (e.g. Google OAuth) in your Gradio apps. To do this, first mount your Gradio app within a FastAPI app ([as discussed above](mounting-within-another-fast-api-app)). Then, you must write an *authentication function*, which gets the user's username from the OAuth provider and returns it. This function should be passed to the `auth_dependency` parameter in `gr.mount_gradio_app`.\n\nSimilar to [FastAPI dependency functions](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/dependencies/), the function specified by `auth_dependency` will run before any Gradio-related route in your FastAPI app. The function should accept a single parameter: the FastAPI `Request` and return either a string (representing a user's username) or `None`. If a string is returned, the user will be able to access the Gradio-related routes in your FastAPI app.\n\nFirst, let's show a simplistic example to illustrate the `auth_dependency` parameter:\n\n```python\nfrom fastapi import FastAPI, Request\nimport gradio as gr\n\napp = FastAPI()\n\ndef get_user(request: Request):\n return request.headers.get(\"user\")\n\ndemo = gr.Interface(lambda s: f\"Hello {s}!\", \"textbox\", \"textbox\")\n\napp = gr.mount_gradio_app(app, demo, path=\"/demo\", auth_dependency=get_user)\n\nif __name__ == '__main__':\n uvicorn.run(app)\n```\n\nIn this example, only requests that include a \"user\" header will be allowed to access the Gradio app. Of course, this does not add much security, since any user can add this header in their request.\n\nHere's a more complete example showing how to add Google OAuth to a Gradio app (assuming you've already created OAuth Credentials on the [Google Developer Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/project)):\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom authlib.integrations.starlette_client import OAuth, OAuthError\nfrom fastapi import FastA", "heading1": "Authentication", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/sharing-your-app", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - Sharing Your App Guide"}, {"text": "entials on the [Google Developer Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/project)):\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom authlib.integrations.starlette_client import OAuth, OAuthError\nfrom fastapi import FastAPI, Depends, Request\nfrom starlette.config import Config\nfrom starlette.responses import RedirectResponse\nfrom starlette.middleware.sessions import SessionMiddleware\nimport uvicorn\nimport gradio as gr\n\napp = FastAPI()\n\nReplace these with your own OAuth settings\nGOOGLE_CLIENT_ID = \"...\"\nGOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET = \"...\"\nSECRET_KEY = \"...\"\n\nconfig_data = {'GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID': GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, 'GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET': GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET}\nstarlette_config = Config(environ=config_data)\noauth = OAuth(starlette_config)\noauth.register(\n name='google',\n server_metadata_url='https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration',\n client_kwargs={'scope': 'openid email profile'},\n)\n\nSECRET_KEY = os.environ.get('SECRET_KEY') or \"a_very_secret_key\"\napp.add_middleware(SessionMiddleware, secret_key=SECRET_KEY)\n\nDependency to get the current user\ndef get_user(request: Request):\n user = request.session.get('user')\n if user:\n return user['name']\n return None\n\n@app.get('/')\ndef public(user: dict = Depends(get_user)):\n if user:\n return RedirectResponse(url='/gradio')\n else:\n return RedirectResponse(url='/login-demo')\n\n@app.route('/logout')\nasync def logout(request: Request):\n request.session.pop('user', None)\n return RedirectResponse(url='/')\n\n@app.route('/login')\nasync def login(request: Request):\n redirect_uri = request.url_for('auth')\n If your app is running on https, you should ensure that the\n `redirect_uri` is https, e.g. uncomment the following lines:\n \n from urllib.parse import urlparse, urlunparse\n redirect_uri = urlunparse(urlparse(str(redirect_uri))._replace(scheme='https'))\n return await oauth.google.authorize_redirect(request, redirect_uri)\n\n@app.route('/auth')\nasync def auth(request: Reque", "heading1": "Authentication", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/sharing-your-app", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - Sharing Your App Guide"}, {"text": "direct_uri = urlunparse(urlparse(str(redirect_uri))._replace(scheme='https'))\n return await oauth.google.authorize_redirect(request, redirect_uri)\n\n@app.route('/auth')\nasync def auth(request: Request):\n try:\n access_token = await oauth.google.authorize_access_token(request)\n except OAuthError:\n return RedirectResponse(url='/')\n request.session['user'] = dict(access_token)[\"userinfo\"]\n return RedirectResponse(url='/')\n\nwith gr.Blocks() as login_demo:\n gr.Button(\"Login\", link=\"/login\")\n\napp = gr.mount_gradio_app(app, login_demo, path=\"/login-demo\")\n\ndef greet(request: gr.Request):\n return f\"Welcome to Gradio, {request.username}\"\n\nwith gr.Blocks() as main_demo:\n m = gr.Markdown(\"Welcome to Gradio!\")\n gr.Button(\"Logout\", link=\"/logout\")\n main_demo.load(greet, None, m)\n\napp = gr.mount_gradio_app(app, main_demo, path=\"/gradio\", auth_dependency=get_user)\n\nif __name__ == '__main__':\n uvicorn.run(app)\n```\n\nThere are actually two separate Gradio apps in this example!

This Space takes an audio file and produces two separate audio files: one with the instrumental music and one with all other sounds in the original clip. Perfect to use with our client!\n\nOpen a new Python file, say `main.py`, and start by importing the `Client` class from `gradio_client` and connecting it to this Space:\n\n```py\nfrom gradio_client import Client, handle_file\n\nclient = Client(\"abidlabs/music-separation\")\n\ndef acapellify(audio_path):\n result = client.predict(handle_file(audio_path), api_name=\"/predict\")\n return result[0]\n```\n\nThat's all the code that's needed -- notice that the API endpoints returns two audio files (one without the music, and one with just the music) in a list, and so we just return the first element of the list.\n\n---\n\n**Note**: since this is a public Space, there might be other users using this Space as well, which might result in a slow experience. You can duplicate this Space with your own [Hugging Face token](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens) and create a private Space that only you have will have access to and bypass the queue.

For this, we will be using the `ffmpeg` library, which does a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to working with audio and video files.

Learn more in the Hot Reloading Guide.\n\n\n**Understanding the `Interface` Class**\n\nYou'll notice that in order to make your first demo, you created an instance of the `gr.Interface` class. The `Interface` class is designed to create demos for machine learning models which accept one or more inputs, and return one or more outputs. \n\nThe `Interface` class has three core arguments:\n\n- `fn`: the function to wrap a user interface (UI) around\n- `inputs`: the Gradio component(s) to use for the input. The num", "heading1": "Building Your First Demo", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/quickstart", "source_page_title": "Getting Started - Quickstart Guide"}, {"text": "turn one or more outputs. \n\nThe `Interface` class has three core arguments:\n\n- `fn`: the function to wrap a user interface (UI) around\n- `inputs`: the Gradio component(s) to use for the input. The number of components should match the number of arguments in your function.\n- `outputs`: the Gradio component(s) to use for the output. The number of components should match the number of return values from your function.\n\nThe `fn` argument is very flexible -- you can pass *any* Python function that you want to wrap with a UI. In the example above, we saw a relatively simple function, but the function could be anything from a music generator to a tax calculator to the prediction function of a pretrained machine learning model.\n\nThe `inputs` and `outputs` arguments take one or more Gradio components. As we'll see, Gradio includes more than [30 built-in components](https://www.gradio.app/docs/gradio/introduction) (such as the `gr.Textbox()`, `gr.Image()`, and `gr.HTML()` components) that are designed for machine learning applications. \n\nTip: For the `inputs` and `outputs` arguments, you can pass in the name of these components as a string (`\"textbox\"`) or an instance of the class (`gr.Textbox()`).\n\nIf your function accepts more than one argument, as is the case above, pass a list of input components to `inputs`, with each input component corresponding to one of the arguments of the function, in order. The same holds true if your function returns more than one value: simply pass in a list of components to `outputs`. This flexibility makes the `Interface` class a very powerful way to create demos.\n\nWe'll dive deeper into the `gr.Interface` on our series on [building Interfaces](https://www.gradio.app/main/guides/the-interface-class).\n\n", "heading1": "Building Your First Demo", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/quickstart", "source_page_title": "Getting Started - Quickstart Guide"}, {"text": "What good is a beautiful demo if you can't share it? Gradio lets you easily share a machine learning demo without having to worry about the hassle of hosting on a web server. Simply set `share=True` in `launch()`, and a publicly accessible URL will be created for your demo. Let's revisit our example demo, but change the last line as follows:\n\n```python\nimport gradio as gr\n\ndef greet(name):\n return \"Hello \" + name + \"!\"\n\ndemo = gr.Interface(fn=greet, inputs=\"textbox\", outputs=\"textbox\")\n \ndemo.launch(share=True) Share your demo with just 1 extra parameter \ud83d\ude80\n```\n\nWhen you run this code, a public URL will be generated for your demo in a matter of seconds, something like:\n\n\ud83d\udc49   `https://a23dsf231adb.gradio.live`\n\nNow, anyone around the world can try your Gradio demo from their browser, while the machine learning model and all computation continues to run locally on your computer.\n\nTo learn more about sharing your demo, read our dedicated guide on [sharing your Gradio application](https://www.gradio.app/guides/sharing-your-app).\n\n\n", "heading1": "Sharing Your Demo", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/quickstart", "source_page_title": "Getting Started - Quickstart Guide"}, {"text": "So far, we've been discussing the `Interface` class, which is a high-level class that lets you build demos quickly with Gradio. But what else does Gradio include?\n\nCustom Demos with `gr.Blocks`\n\nGradio offers a low-level approach for designing web apps with more customizable layouts and data flows with the `gr.Blocks` class. Blocks supports things like controlling where components appear on the page, handling multiple data flows and more complex interactions (e.g. outputs can serve as inputs to other functions), and updating properties/visibility of components based on user interaction \u2014 still all in Python. \n\nYou can build very custom and complex applications using `gr.Blocks()`. For example, the popular image generation [Automatic1111 Web UI](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui) is built using Gradio Blocks. We dive deeper into the `gr.Blocks` on our series on [building with Blocks](https://www.gradio.app/guides/blocks-and-event-listeners).\n\nChatbots with `gr.ChatInterface`\n\nGradio includes another high-level class, `gr.ChatInterface`, which is specifically designed to create Chatbot UIs. Similar to `Interface`, you supply a function and Gradio creates a fully working Chatbot UI. If you're interested in creating a chatbot, you can jump straight to [our dedicated guide on `gr.ChatInterface`](https://www.gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast).\n\nThe Gradio Python & JavaScript Ecosystem\n\nThat's the gist of the core `gradio` Python library, but Gradio is actually so much more!

If you do not use this property in the frontend, the component will appear the same in interactive or static mode.\n\n", "heading1": "Interactive vs Static", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/key-component-concepts", "source_page_title": "Custom Components - Key Component Concepts Guide"}, {"text": "The most important attribute of a component is its `value`.\nEvery component has a `value`.\nThe value that is typically set by the user in the frontend (if the component is interactive) or displayed to the user (if it is static). \nIt is also this value that is sent to the backend function when a user triggers an event, or returned by the user's function e.g. at the end of a prediction.\n\nSo this value is passed around quite a bit, but sometimes the format of the value needs to change between the frontend and backend. \nTake a look at this example:\n\n```python\nimport numpy as np\nimport gradio as gr\n\ndef sepia(input_img):\n sepia_filter = np.array([\n [0.393, 0.769, 0.189], \n [0.349, 0.686, 0.168], \n [0.272, 0.534, 0.131]\n ])\n sepia_img = input_img.dot(sepia_filter.T)\n sepia_img /= sepia_img.max()\n return sepia_img\n\ndemo = gr.Interface(sepia, gr.Image(width=200, height=200), \"image\")\ndemo.launch()\n```\n\nThis will create a Gradio app which has an `Image` component as the input and the output. \nIn the frontend, the Image component will actually **upload** the file to the server and send the **filepath** but this is converted to a `numpy` array before it is sent to a user's function. \nConversely, when the user returns a `numpy` array from their function, the numpy array is converted to a file so that it can be sent to the frontend and displayed by the `Image` component.\n\nTip: By default, the `Image` component sends numpy arrays to the python function because it is a common choice for machine learning engineers, though the Image component also supports other formats using the `type` parameter. Read the `Image` docs [here](https://www.gradio.app/docs/image) to learn more.\n\nEach component does two conversions:\n\n1. `preprocess`: Converts the `value` from the format sent by the frontend to the format expected by the python function.

This usually involves going from a **python-native** data-structure, like a `PIL` image to a **JSON** structure.\n\nWhat you need to remember\n\n* Every component must implement `preprocess` and `postprocess` methods. In the rare event that no conversion needs to happen, simply return the value as-is. `Textbox` and `Number` are examples of this. \n\n* As a component author, **YOU** control the format of the data displayed in the frontend as well as the format of the data someone using your component will receive.

This is because some introspection features used to generate the documentation were only added in `3.10`.\n\nType hints\n\nPython type hints are used extensively to provide helpful information for users. \n\n
\n What are type hints?\n\n\nIf you need to become more familiar with type hints in Python, they are a simple way to express what Python types are expected for arguments and return values of functions and methods. They provide a helpful in-editor experience, aid in maintenance, and integrate with various other tools. These types can be simple primitives, like `list` `str` `bool`; they could be more compound types like `list[str]`, `str | None` or `tuple[str, float | int]`; or they can be more complex types using utility classed like [`TypedDict`](https://peps.python.org/pep-0589/abstract).\n\n[Read more about type hints in Python.](https://realpython.com/lessons/type-hinting/)\n\n\n
\n\nWhat do I need to add hints to?\n\nYou do not need to add type hints to every part of your code. For the documentation to work correctly, you will need to add type hints to the following component methods:\n\n- `__init__` parameters should be typed.\n- `postprocess` parameters and return value should be typed.\n- `preprocess` parameters and return value should be typed.\n\nIf you are using `gradio cc create`, these types should already exist, but you may need to tweak them based on any changes you ma", "heading1": "What do I need to do?", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/documenting-custom-components", "source_page_title": "Custom Components - Documenting Custom Components Guide"}, {"text": "be typed.\n- `preprocess` parameters and return value should be typed.\n\nIf you are using `gradio cc create`, these types should already exist, but you may need to tweak them based on any changes you make.\n\n`__init__`\n\nHere, you only need to type the parameters. If you have cloned a template with `gradio` cc create`, these should already be in place. You will only need to add new hints for anything you have added or changed:\n\n```py\ndef __init__(\n self,\n value: str | None = None,\n *,\n sources: Literal[\"upload\", \"microphone\"] = \"upload,\n every: Timer | float | None = None,\n ...\n):\n ...\n```\n\n`preprocess` and `postprocess`\n\nThe `preprocess` and `postprocess` methods determine the value passed to the user function and the value that needs to be returned.\n\nEven if the design of your component is primarily as an input or an output, it is worth adding type hints to both the input parameters and the return values because Gradio has no way of limiting how components can be used.\n\nIn this case, we specifically care about:\n\n- The return type of `preprocess`.\n- The input type of `postprocess`.\n\n```py\ndef preprocess(\n self, payload: FileData | None input is optional\n) -> tuple[int, str] | str | None:\n\nuser function input is the preprocess return \u25b2\nuser function output is the postprocess input \u25bc\n\ndef postprocess(\n self, value: tuple[int, str] | None\n) -> FileData | bytes | None: return is optional\n ...\n```\n\nDocstrings\n\nDocstrings are also used extensively to extract more meaningful, human-readable descriptions of certain parts of the API.\n\n
\n What are docstrings?\n\n\nIf you need to become more familiar with docstrings in Python, they are a way to annotate parts of your code with human-readable decisions and explanations. They offer a rich in-editor experience like type hints, but unlike type hints, they don't have any specific syntax requirements. They are simple strings and can take almost any form. The only requirement i", "heading1": "What do I need to do?", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/documenting-custom-components", "source_page_title": "Custom Components - Documenting Custom Components Guide"}, {"text": "offer a rich in-editor experience like type hints, but unlike type hints, they don't have any specific syntax requirements. They are simple strings and can take almost any form. The only requirement is where they appear. Docstrings should be \"a string literal that occurs as the first statement in a module, function, class, or method definition\".\n\n[Read more about Python docstrings.](https://peps.python.org/pep-0257/what-is-a-docstring)\n\n
\n\nWhile docstrings don't have any syntax requirements, we need a particular structure for documentation purposes.\n\nAs with type hint, the specific information we care about is as follows:\n\n- `__init__` parameter docstrings.\n- `preprocess` return docstrings.\n- `postprocess` input parameter docstrings.\n\nEverything else is optional.\n\nDocstrings should always take this format to be picked up by the documentation generator:\n\nClasses\n\n```py\n\"\"\"\nA description of the class.\n\nThis can span multiple lines and can _contain_ *markdown*.\n\"\"\"\n```\n\nMethods and functions \n\nMarkdown in these descriptions will not be converted into formatted text.\n\n```py\n\"\"\"\nParameters:\n param_one: A description for this parameter.\n param_two: A description for this parameter.\nReturns:\n A description for this return value.\n\"\"\"\n```\n\nEvents\n\nIn custom components, events are expressed as a list stored on the `events` field of the component class. While we do not need types for events, we _do_ need a human-readable description so users can understand the behaviour of the event.\n\nTo facilitate this, we must create the event in a specific way.\n\nThere are two ways to add events to a custom component.\n\nBuilt-in events\n\nGradio comes with a variety of built-in events that may be enough for your component. If you are using built-in events, you do not need to do anything as they already have descriptions we can extract:\n\n```py\nfrom gradio.events import Events\n\nclass ParamViewer(Component):\n ...\n\n EVENTS = [\n Events.change,\n Events.up", "heading1": "What do I need to do?", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/documenting-custom-components", "source_page_title": "Custom Components - Documenting Custom Components Guide"}, {"text": "do not need to do anything as they already have descriptions we can extract:\n\n```py\nfrom gradio.events import Events\n\nclass ParamViewer(Component):\n ...\n\n EVENTS = [\n Events.change,\n Events.upload,\n ]\n```\n\nCustom events\n\nYou can define a custom event if the built-in events are unsuitable for your use case. This is a straightforward process, but you must create the event in this way for docstrings to work correctly:\n\n```py\nfrom gradio.events import Events, EventListener\n\nclass ParamViewer(Component):\n ...\n\n EVENTS = [\n Events.change,\n EventListener(\n \"bingbong\",\n doc=\"This listener is triggered when the user does a bingbong.\"\n )\n ]\n```\n\nDemo\n\nThe `demo/app.py`, often used for developing the component, generates the live demo and code snippet. The only strict rule here is that the `demo.launch()` command must be contained with a `__name__ == \"__main__\"` conditional as below:\n\n```py\nif __name__ == \"__main__\":\n demo.launch()\n```\n\nThe documentation generator will scan for such a clause and error if absent. If you are _not_ launching the demo inside the `demo/app.py`, then you can pass `--suppress-demo-check` to turn off this check.\n\nDemo recommendations\n\nAlthough there are no additional rules, there are some best practices you should bear in mind to get the best experience from the documentation generator.\n\nThese are only guidelines, and every situation is unique, but they are sound principles to remember.\n\nKeep the demo compact\n\nCompact demos look better and make it easier for users to understand what the demo does. Try to remove as many extraneous UI elements as possible to focus the users' attention on the core use case. \n\nSometimes, it might make sense to have a `demo/app.py` just for the docs and an additional, more complex app for your testing purposes. You can also create other spaces, showcasing more complex examples and linking to them from the main class docstring or the `pyproject.toml` description.\n\n", "heading1": "What do I need to do?", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/documenting-custom-components", "source_page_title": "Custom Components - Documenting Custom Components Guide"}, {"text": "ore complex app for your testing purposes. You can also create other spaces, showcasing more complex examples and linking to them from the main class docstring or the `pyproject.toml` description.\n\nKeep the code concise\n\nThe 'getting started' snippet utilises the demo code, which should be as short as possible to keep users engaged and avoid confusion.\n\nIt isn't the job of the sample snippet to demonstrate the whole API; this snippet should be the shortest path to success for a new user. It should be easy to type or copy-paste and easy to understand. Explanatory comments should be brief and to the point.\n\nAvoid external dependencies\n\nAs mentioned above, users should be able to copy-paste a snippet and have a fully working app. Try to avoid third-party library dependencies to facilitate this.\n\nYou should carefully consider any examples; avoiding examples that require additional files or that make assumptions about the environment is generally a good idea.\n\nEnsure the `demo` directory is self-contained\n\nOnly the `demo` directory will be uploaded to Hugging Face spaces in certain instances, as the component will be installed via PyPi if possible. It is essential that this directory is self-contained and any files needed for the correct running of the demo are present.\n\nAdditional URLs\n\nThe documentation generator will generate a few buttons, providing helpful information and links to users.

In the simplest case, your chat function should accept two arguments: `message` and `history` (the arguments can be named anything, but must be in this order).\n\n- `message`: a `str` representing the user's most recent message.\n- `history`: a list of openai-style dictionaries with `role` and `content` keys, representing the previous conversation history. May also include additional keys representing message metadata.\n\nThe `history` would look like this:\n\n```python\n[\n {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": [{\"type\": \"text\", \"text\": \"What is the capital of France?\"}]},\n {\"role\": \"assistant\", \"content\": [{\"type\": \"text\", \"text\": \"Paris\"}]}\n]\n```\n\nwhile the next `message` would be:\n\n```py\n\"And what is its largest city?\"\n```\n\nYour chat function simply needs to return: \n\n* a `str` value, which is the chatbot's response based on the chat `history` and most recent `message`, for example, in this case:\n\n```\nParis is also the largest city.\n```\n\nLet's take a look at a few example chat functions:\n\n**Example: a chatbot that randomly responds with yes or no**\n\nLet's write a chat function that responds `Yes` or `No` randomly.\n\nHere's our chat function:\n\n```python\nimport random\n\ndef random_response(message, history):\n return random.choice([\"Yes\", \"No\"])\n```\n\nNow, we can plug this into `gr.ChatInterface()` and call the `.launch()` method to create the web interface:\n\n```python\nimport gradio as gr\n\ngr.ChatInterface(\n fn=random_response, \n).launch()\n```\n\nThat's it!

Any examples will appear as \"buttons\" within the Chatbot before any messages are sent. If you'd like to include images or other files as part of your examples, you can do so by using this dictionary format for each example instead of a string: `{\"text\": \"What's in this image?\", \"files\": [\"cheetah.jpg\"]}`. Each file will be a separate message that is added to your Chatbot history.\n\nYou can change the displayed text for each example by using the `example_labels` argument. You can add icons to each example as well using the `example_icons` argument. Both of these arguments take a list of strings, which should be the same length as the `examples` list.\n\nIf you'd like to cache the examples so that they are pre-computed and the results appear instantly, set `cache_examples=True`.\n\n**Customizing the chatbot or textbox component**\n\nIf you want to customize the `gr.Chatbot` or `gr.Textbox` that compose the `ChatInterface`, then you can pass in your own chatbot or textbox components.

For example, you may want users to be able to upload images or files to your chatbot and ask questions about them. You can make your chatbot \"multimodal\" by passing in a single parameter (`multimodal=True`) to the `gr.ChatInterface` class.\n\nWhen `multimodal=True`, the signature of your chat function changes slightly: the first parameter of your function (what we referred to as `message` above) should accept a dictionary consisting of the submitted text and uploaded files that looks like this: \n\n```py\n{\n \"text\": \"user input\", \n \"files\": [\n \"updated_file_1_path.ext\",\n \"updated_file_2_path.ext\", \n ...\n ]\n}\n```\n\nThis second parameter of your chat function, `history`, will be in the same openai-style dictionary format as before. However, if the history contains uploaded files, the `content` key will be a dictionary with a \"type\" key whose value is \"file\" and the file will be represented as a dictionary. All the files will be grouped in message in the history. So after uploading two files and asking a question, your history might look like this:\n\n```python\n[\n {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": [{\"type\": \"file\", \"file\": {\"path\": \"cat1.png\"}},\n {\"type\": \"file\", \"file\": {\"path\": \"cat1.png\"}},\n {\"type\": \"text\", \"text\": \"What's the difference between these two images?\"}]}\n]\n```\n\nThe return type of your chat function does *not change* when setting `multimodal=True` (i.e. in the simplest case, you should still return a string value).

You can pass the component instances directly, or use their string shortcuts (e.g. `\"textbox\"` instead of `gr.Textbox()`). If you pass in component instances, and they have _not_ already been rendered, then the components will appear underneath the chatbot within a `gr.Accordion()`. \n\nHere's a complete example:\n\n$code_chatinterface_system_prompt\n\nIf the components you pass into the `additional_inputs` have already been rendered in a parent `gr.Blocks()`, then they will _not_ be re-rendered in the accordion.

In the example below, we position the `gr.Textbox()` on top of the Chatbot UI, while keeping the slider underneath.\n\n```python\nimport gradio as gr\nimport time\n\ndef echo(message, history, system_prompt, tokens):\n response = f\"System prompt: {system_prompt}\\n Message: {message}.\"\n for i in range(min(len(response), int(tokens))):\n time.sleep(0.05)\n yield response[: i+1]\n\nwith gr.Blocks() as demo:\n system_prompt = gr.Textbox(\"You are helpful AI.\", label=\"System Prompt\")\n slider = gr.Slider(10, 100, render=False)\n\n gr.ChatInterface(\n echo, additional_inputs=[system_prompt, slider],\n )\n\ndemo.launch()\n```\n\n**Examples with additional inputs**\n\nYou can also add example values for your additional inputs.

Here is the schema of the `gr.ChatMessage` data class as well as two internal typed dictionaries:\n \n ```py\nMessageContent = Union[str, FileDataDict, FileData, Component]\n\n@dataclass\nclass ChatMessage:\n content: Me", "heading1": "Returning Complex Responses", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Chatbot Fast Guide"}, {"text": "ma of the `gr.ChatMessage` data class as well as two internal typed dictionaries:\n \n ```py\nMessageContent = Union[str, FileDataDict, FileData, Component]\n\n@dataclass\nclass ChatMessage:\n content: MessageContent | list[MessageContent]\n metadata: MetadataDict = None\n options: list[OptionDict] = None\n\nclass MetadataDict(TypedDict):\n title: NotRequired[str]\n id: NotRequired[int | str]\n parent_id: NotRequired[int | str]\n log: NotRequired[str]\n duration: NotRequired[float]\n status: NotRequired[Literal[\"pending\", \"done\"]]\n\nclass OptionDict(TypedDict):\n label: NotRequired[str]\n value: str\n ```\n \nAs you can see, the `gr.ChatMessage` dataclass is similar to the openai-style message format, e.g. it has a \"content\" key that refers to the chat message content. But it also includes a \"metadata\" key whose value is a dictionary. If this dictionary includes a \"title\" key, the resulting message is displayed as an intermediate thought with the title being displayed on top of the thought. Here's an example showing the usage:\n\n$code_chatinterface_thoughts\n\nYou can even show nested thoughts, which is useful for agent demos in which one tool may call other tools. To display nested thoughts, include \"id\" and \"parent_id\" keys in the \"metadata\" dictionary. Read our [dedicated guide on displaying intermediate thoughts and tool usage](/guides/agents-and-tool-usage) for more realistic examples.\n\n**Providing preset responses**\n\nWhen returning an assistant message, you may want to provide preset options that a user can choose in response. To do this, again, you will again return a `gr.ChatMessage` instance from your chat function. This time, make sure to set the `options` key specifying the preset responses.\n\nAs shown in the schema for `gr.ChatMessage` above, the value corresponding to the `options` key should be a list of dictionaries, each with a `value` (a string that is the value that should be sent to the chat function when this response is clicked) and an opt", "heading1": "Returning Complex Responses", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Chatbot Fast Guide"}, {"text": " corresponding to the `options` key should be a list of dictionaries, each with a `value` (a string that is the value that should be sent to the chat function when this response is clicked) and an optional `label` (if provided, is the text displayed as the preset response instead of the `value`). \n\nThis example illustrates how to use preset responses:\n\n$code_chatinterface_options\n\n", "heading1": "Returning Complex Responses", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Chatbot Fast Guide"}, {"text": "You may wish to modify the value of the chatbot with your own events, other than those prebuilt in the `gr.ChatInterface`. For example, you could create a dropdown that prefills the chat history with certain conversations or add a separate button to clear the conversation history.

In the same \"OAuth & Permissions\" page, scroll back up and click the button to install the app to your workspace.\n6. Note the \"Bot User OAuth Token\" (starts with `xoxb-`) that appears as we'll need it later\n7. Click on \"Socket Mode\" in the menu bar. When the page loads, click the toggle to \"Enable Socket Mode\"\n8. Give your token a name, such as `socket-token` and copy the token that is generated (starts with `xapp-`) as we'll need it later.\n9. Finally, go to the \"Event Subscription\" option in the menu bar. Click the toggle to \"Enable Events\" and subscribe to the `app_mention` bot event.\n\n2. Write a Slack bot\n\nLet's start by writing a very simple Slack bot, just to make sure that everything is working. Write the following Python code in a file called `bot.py`, pasting the two tokens from step 6 and step 8 in the previous section.\n\n```py\nfrom slack_bolt import App\nfrom slack_bolt.adapter.socket_mode import SocketModeHandler\n\nSLACK_BOT_TOKEN = PASTE YOUR SLACK BOT TOKEN HERE\nSLACK_APP_TOKEN = PASTE YOUR SLACK APP TOKEN HERE\n\napp = App(token=SLACK_BOT_TOKEN)\n\n@app.event(\"app_mention\")\ndef handle_app_mention_ev", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-slack-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Slack Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "eHandler\n\nSLACK_BOT_TOKEN = PASTE YOUR SLACK BOT TOKEN HERE\nSLACK_APP_TOKEN = PASTE YOUR SLACK APP TOKEN HERE\n\napp = App(token=SLACK_BOT_TOKEN)\n\n@app.event(\"app_mention\")\ndef handle_app_mention_events(body, say):\n user_id = body[\"event\"][\"user\"]\n say(f\"Hi <@{user_id}>!

We will be using the [Gradio Python Client](https://www.gradio.app/guides/getting-started-with-the-python-client) to query the Gradio Playground Space mentioned above.

Add the bot to your Slack Workplace\n\nNow, create a new channel or navigate to an existing channel in your Slack workspace where you want to use the bot. Click the \"+\" button next to \"Channels\" in your Slack sidebar and follow the prompts to create a new channel.\n\nFinally, invite your bot to the channel:\n1. In your new channel, type `/invite @YourBotName`\n2. Select your bot from the dropdown\n3. Click \"Invite to Channel\"\n\n4. That's it!\n\nNow you can mention your bot in any channel it's in, optionally attach an image, and it will respond with generated Gradio app code!\n\nThe bot will:\n1. Listen for mentions\n2. Process any attached images\n3. Send the text and images to your Gradio app\n4. Stream the responses back to the Slack channel\n\nThis is just a basic example - you can extend it to handle more types of files, add error handling, or integrate with different Gradio apps!\n\n![](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/gradio-guides/Screen%20Recording%202024-12-19%20at%203.30.00%E2%80%AFPM.gif)\n\nIf you build a Slack bot from a Gradio app, feel free to share it on X and tag [the Gradio account](https://x.com/Gr", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-slack-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Slack Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "/main/gradio-guides/Screen%20Recording%202024-12-19%20at%203.30.00%E2%80%AFPM.gif)\n\nIf you build a Slack bot from a Gradio app, feel free to share it on X and tag [the Gradio account](https://x.com/Gradio), and we are happy to help you amplify!", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-slack-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Slack Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "The Discord bot will listen to messages mentioning it in channels.

Write the following Python code in a file called `bot.py`, pasting the discord bot token from the previous step:\n\n```python\nbot.py\nimport discord\n\nTOKEN = PASTE YOUR DISCORD BOT TOKEN HERE\n\nclient = discord.Client()\n\n@client.event\nasync def on_ready():\n print(f'{client.user} has connected to Discord!')\n\nclient.run(TOKEN)\n```\n\nNow, run this file: `python bot.py`, w", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-discord-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Discord Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "CORD BOT TOKEN HERE\n\nclient = discord.Client()\n\n@client.event\nasync def on_ready():\n print(f'{client.user} has connected to Discord!')\n\nclient.run(TOKEN)\n```\n\nNow, run this file: `python bot.py`, which should run and print a message like:\n\n```text\nWe have logged in as GradioPlaygroundBot1451\n```\n\nIf that is working, we are ready to add Gradio-specific code. We will be using the [Gradio Python Client](https://www.gradio.app/guides/getting-started-with-the-python-client) to query the Gradio Playground Space mentioned above. Here's the updated `bot.py` file:\n\n```python\nimport discord\nfrom gradio_client import Client, handle_file\nimport httpx\nimport os\n\nTOKEN = PASTE YOUR DISCORD BOT TOKEN HERE\n\nintents = discord.Intents.default()\nintents.message_content = True\n\nclient = discord.Client(intents=intents)\ngradio_client = Client(\"abidlabs/gradio-playground-bot\")\n\ndef download_image(attachment):\n response = httpx.get(attachment.url)\n image_path = f\"./images/{attachment.filename}\"\n os.makedirs(\"./images\", exist_ok=True)\n with open(image_path, \"wb\") as f:\n f.write(response.content)\n return image_path\n\n@client.event\nasync def on_ready():\n print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')\n\n@client.event\nasync def on_message(message):\n Ignore messages from the bot itself\n if message.author == client.user:\n return\n\n Check if the bot is mentioned in the message and reply\n if client.user in message.mentions:\n Extract the message content without the bot mention\n clean_message = message.content.replace(f\"<@{client.user.id}>\", \"\").strip()\n\n Handle images (only the first image is used)\n files = []\n if message.attachments:\n for attachment in message.attachments:\n if any(attachment.filename.lower().endswith(ext) for ext in ['png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'webp']):\n image_path = download_image(attachment)\n files.append(handle_file(image_path))", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-discord-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Discord Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": ".filename.lower().endswith(ext) for ext in ['png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'webp']):\n image_path = download_image(attachment)\n files.append(handle_file(image_path))\n break\n \n Stream the responses to the channel\n for response in gradio_client.submit(\n message={\"text\": clean_message, \"files\": files},\n ):\n await message.channel.send(response[-1])\n\nclient.run(TOKEN)\n```\n\n3. Add the bot to your Discord Server\n\nNow we are ready to install the bot on our server. Go back to the [Discord apps dashboard](https://discord.com/developers/applications). Under the Settings section, click on the \"OAuth2\" option. Scroll down to the \"OAuth2 URL Generator\" box and select the \"bot\" checkbox:\n\n![](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/gradio-guides/discord-2.png)\n\n\n\nThen in \"Bot Permissions\" box that pops up underneath, enable the following permissions:\n\n![](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/gradio-guides/discord-1.png)\n\n\nCopy the generated URL that appears underneath, which should look something like:\n\n```text\nhttps://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1319011745452265575&permissions=377957238784&integration_type=0&scope=bot\n```\n\nPaste it into your browser, which should allow you to add the Discord bot to any Discord server that you manage.\n\n\n4. That's it!\n\nNow you can mention your bot from any channel in your Discord server, optionally attach an image, and it will respond with generated Gradio app code!\n\nThe bot will:\n1. Listen for mentions\n2. Process any attached images\n3. Send the text and images to your Gradio app\n4. Stream the responses back to the Discord channel\n\n This is just a basic example - you can extend it to handle more types of files, add error handling, or integrate with different Gradio apps.\n\n![](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-discord-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Discord Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "c example - you can extend it to handle more types of files, add error handling, or integrate with different Gradio apps.\n\n![](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/gradio-guides/Screen%20Recording%202024-12-18%20at%204.26.55%E2%80%AFPM.gif)\n\nIf you build a Discord bot from a Gradio app, feel free to share it on X and tag [the Gradio account](https://x.com/Gradio), and we are happy to help you amplify!", "heading1": "Prerequisites", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-discord-bot-from-a-gradio-app", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Discord Bot From A Gradio App Guide"}, {"text": "**Important Note**: if you are getting started, we recommend using the `gr.ChatInterface` to create chatbots -- its a high-level abstraction that makes it possible to create beautiful chatbot applications fast, often with a single line of code. [Read more about it here](/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast).\n\nThis tutorial will show how to make chatbot UIs from scratch with Gradio's low-level Blocks API. This will give you full control over your Chatbot UI. You'll start by first creating a a simple chatbot to display text, a second one to stream text responses, and finally a chatbot that can handle media files as well. The chatbot interface that we create will look something like this:\n\n$demo_chatbot_streaming\n\n**Prerequisite**: We'll be using the `gradio.Blocks` class to build our Chatbot demo.\nYou can [read the Guide to Blocks first](https://gradio.app/blocks-and-event-listeners) if you are not already familiar with it.

As you may have noticed, our bot simply randomly responds \"How are you?\", \"Today is a great day\", or \"I'm very hungry\" to any input. Here's the code to create this with Gradio:\n\n$code_chatbot_simple\n\nThere are three Gradio components here:\n\n- A `Chatbot`, whose value stores the entire history of the conversation, as a list of response pairs between the user and bot.\n- A `Textbox` where the user can type their message, and then hit enter/submit to trigger the chatbot response\n- A `ClearButton` button to clear the Textbox and entire Chatbot history\n\nWe have a single function, `respond()`, which takes in the entire history of the chatbot, appends a random message, waits 1 second, and then returns the updated chat history. The `respond()` function also clears the textbox when it returns.\n\nOf course, in practice, you would replace `respond()` with your own more complex function, which might call a pretrained model or an API, to generate a response.\n\n$demo_chatbot_simple\n\nTip: For better type hinting and auto-completion in your IDE, you can use the `gr.ChatMessage` dataclass:\n\n```python\nfrom gradio import ChatMessage\n\ndef chat_function(message, history):\n history.append(ChatMessage(role=\"user\", content=message))\n history.append(ChatMessage(role=\"assistant\", content=\"Hello, how can I help you?\"))\n return history\n```\n\n", "heading1": "A Simple Chatbot Demo", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-custom-chatbot-with-blocks", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Custom Chatbot With Blocks Guide"}, {"text": "There are several ways we can improve the user experience of the chatbot above. First, we can stream responses so the user doesn't have to wait as long for a message to be generated. Second, we can have the user message appear immediately in the chat history, while the chatbot's response is being generated. Here's the code to achieve that:\n\n$code_chatbot_streaming\n\nYou'll notice that when a user submits their message, we now _chain_ two event events with `.then()`:\n\n1. The first method `user()` updates the chatbot with the user message and clears the input field. Because we want this to happen instantly, we set `queue=False`, which would skip any queue had it been enabled. The chatbot's history is appended with `{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": user_message}`.\n\n2. The second method, `bot()` updates the chatbot history with the bot's response. Finally, we construct the message character by character and `yield` the intermediate outputs as they are being constructed. Gradio automatically turns any function with the `yield` keyword [into a streaming output interface](/guides/key-features/iterative-outputs).\n\n\nOf course, in practice, you would replace `bot()` with your own more complex function, which might call a pretrained model or an API, to generate a response.\n\n\n", "heading1": "Add Streaming to your Chatbot", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/creating-a-custom-chatbot-with-blocks", "source_page_title": "Chatbots - Creating A Custom Chatbot With Blocks Guide"}, {"text": "The `gr.Chatbot` component supports a subset of markdown including bold, italics, and code. For example, we could write a function that responds to a user's message, with a bold **That's cool!**, like this:\n\n```py\ndef bot(history):\n response = {\"role\": \"assistant\", \"content\": \"**That's cool!**\"}\n history.append(response)\n return history\n```\n\nIn addition, it can handle media files, such as images, audio, and video. You can use the `MultimodalTextbox` component to easily upload all types of media files to your chatbot. You can customize the `MultimodalTextbox` further by passing in the `sources` parameter, which is a list of sources to enable. To pass in a media file, we must pass in the file a dictionary with a `path` key pointing to a local file and an `alt_text` key. The `alt_text` is optional, so you can also just pass in a tuple with a single element `{\"path\": \"filepath\"}`, like this:\n\n```python\ndef add_message(history, message):\n for x in message[\"files\"]:\n history.append({\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": {\"path\": x}})\n if message[\"text\"] is not None:\n history.append({\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": message[\"text\"]})\n return history, gr.MultimodalTextbox(value=None, interactive=False, file_types=[\"image\"], sources=[\"upload\", \"microphone\"])\n```\n\nPutting this together, we can create a _multimodal_ chatbot with a multimodal textbox for a user to submit text and media files. The rest of the code looks pretty much the same as before:\n\n$code_chatbot_multimodal\n$demo_chatbot_multimodal\n\nAnd you're done!

In order to stream the audio from the server, we'll set `streaming=True` in the output Audio component. We'll also set `autoplay=True` so that the audio plays as soon as it's ready.\nWe'll be using the Audio input component's `stop_recording` event to trigger our application's logic when a user stops recording from their microphone.\n\nWe're separating the logic into two parts. First, `generate_response` will take the recorded audio, transcribe it and generate a response with an LLM. We're going to store the response in a `gr.State` variable that then gets passed to the `read_response` function that generates the audio.\n\nWe're doing this in two parts because only `read_response` will require a GPU. Our app will run on Hugging Faces [ZeroGPU](https://huggingface.co/zero-gpu-explorers) which has time-based quotas.

Then I pass the question to an LLM (Mistal-7B-Instruct) to generate a response. We are prompting the LLM to act like a magic 8 ball with the system message.\n\nOur `generate_response` function will also send empty updates to the output textbox and audio components (returning `None`). \nThis is because I want the Gradio progress tracker to be displayed over the components but I don't want to display the answer until the audio is ready.\n\n\n```python\nfrom huggingface_hub import InferenceClient\n\nclient = InferenceClient(token=os.getenv(\"HF_TOKEN\"))\n\ndef generate_response(audio):\n gr.Info(\"Transcribing Audio\", duration=5)\n question = client.automatic_speech_recognition(audio).text\n\n messages = [{\"role\": \"system\", \"content\": (\"You are a magic 8 ball.\"\n \"Someone will present to you a situation or question and your job \"\n \"is to answer with a cryptic adage or proverb such as \"\n \"'curiosity killed the cat' or 'The early bird gets the worm'.\"\n \"Keep your answers short and do not include the phrase 'Magic 8 Ball' in your response.

The `read_response` function will be a python generator that yields the next chunk of audio as it's ready.\n\n\nWe'll be using the [Mini v0.1](https://huggingface.co/parler-tts/parler_tts_mini_v0.1) for the feature extraction but the [Jenny fine tuned version](https://huggingface.co/parler-tts/parler-tts-mini-jenny-30H) for the voice.

We\u2019re accessing the Groq API key securely with a key stored in an environment variable, which is a security best practice for avoiding leaking the API key.\n\n---\n\nState Management for Seamless Conversations\n\nWe need a way to keep track of our conversation history, so the chatbot remembers past interactions, and manage other states like whether recording is currently active. To do this, let\u2019s create an `AppState` class:\n\n```python\n@dataclass\nclass AppState:\n conversation: list = field(default_factory=list)\n stopped: bool = False\n model_outs: Any = None\n```\n\nOur `AppState` class is a handy tool for managing conversation history and tracking whether recording is on or off. Each instance will have its own fresh list of conversations, making sure chat history is isolated to each session. \n\n---\n\nTranscribing Audio with Whisper on Groq\n\nNext, we\u2019ll create a function to transcribe the user\u2019s audio input into text using Whisper, a powerful transcription model hosted on Groq.

Otherwise, it will return the text transcript of the conversational response from the human.\n\n\n---\n\nAdding Conversational Intelligence with LLM Integration\n\nOur chatbot needs to provide intelligent, friendly responses that flow naturally. We\u2019ll use a Groq-hosted Llama-3.2 for this:\n\n```python\ndef generate_chat_completion(client, history):\n messages = []\n messages.append(\n {\n \"role\": \"system\",\n \"content\": \"In conversation with the user, ask questions to estimate and provide (1) total calories, (2) protein, carbs, and fat in grams, (3) fiber and sugar content. Only ask *one question at a time*. Be conversational and natural.\",\n }\n )\n\n for message in history:\n messages.append(message)\n\n try:\n completion = client.chat.completions.create(\n model=\"llama-3.2-11b-vision-preview\",\n messages=messages,\n )\n return completion.choices[0].message.content\n except Exception as e:\n return f\"Error in generating chat completion: {str(e)}\"\n```\n\nWe\u2019re defining a system prompt to guide the chatbot\u2019s behavior, ensuring it asks one question at a time and keeps things conversational. This setup also includes error handling to ensure the app gracefully manages any issues.\n\n---\n\nVoice Activity Detection for Hands-Free Interaction\n\nTo make our chatbot hands-free, we\u2019ll add Voice Activity Detection (VAD) to automatically detect when someone starts or stops speaking. Here\u2019s how to implement it using ONNX in JavaScript:\n\n```javascript\nasync function main() {\n const script1 = document.createElement(\"script\");\n scrip", "heading1": "Key Components", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/automatic-voice-detection", "source_page_title": "Streaming - Automatic Voice Detection Guide"}, {"text": "ly detect when someone starts or stops speaking. Here\u2019s how to implement it using ONNX in JavaScript:\n\n```javascript\nasync function main() {\n const script1 = document.createElement(\"script\");\n script1.src = \"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/onnxruntime-web@1.14.0/dist/ort.js\";\n document.head.appendChild(script1)\n const script2 = document.createElement(\"script\");\n script2.onload = async () => {\n console.log(\"vad loaded\");\n var record = document.querySelector('.record-button');\n record.textContent = \"Just Start Talking!\"\n \n const myvad = await vad.MicVAD.new({\n onSpeechStart: () => {\n var record = document.querySelector('.record-button');\n var player = document.querySelector('streaming-out')\n if (record != null && (player == null || player.paused)) {\n record.click();\n }\n },\n onSpeechEnd: (audio) => {\n var stop = document.querySelector('.stop-button');\n if (stop != null) {\n stop.click();\n }\n }\n })\n myvad.start()\n }\n script2.src = \"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ricky0123/vad-web@0.0.7/dist/bundle.min.js\";\n}\n```\n\nThis script loads our VAD model and sets up functions to start and stop recording automatically. When the user starts speaking, it triggers the recording, and when they stop, it ends the recording.\n\n---\n\nBuilding a User Interface with Gradio\n\nNow, let\u2019s create an intuitive and visually appealing user interface with Gradio. This interface will include an audio input for capturing voice, a chat window for displaying responses, and state management to keep things synchronized.\n\n```python\nwith gr.Blocks() as demo:\n with gr.Row():\n input_audio = gr.Audio(\n label=\"Input Audio\",\n sources=[\"microphone\"],\n type=\"numpy\",\n streaming=False,\n waveform_options=gr.WaveformOptions(waveform_color=\"B83A4B\"),\n )\n with gr.Row():\n chatbot = gr.Chatbot(label=\"Conversation\")\n state = g", "heading1": "Key Components", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/automatic-voice-detection", "source_page_title": "Streaming - Automatic Voice Detection Guide"}, {"text": "\",\n streaming=False,\n waveform_options=gr.WaveformOptions(waveform_color=\"B83A4B\"),\n )\n with gr.Row():\n chatbot = gr.Chatbot(label=\"Conversation\")\n state = gr.State(value=AppState())\ndemo.launch(theme=theme, js=js)\n```\n\nIn this code block, we\u2019re using Gradio\u2019s `Blocks` API to create an interface with an audio input, a chat display, and an application state manager. The color customization for the waveform adds a nice visual touch.\n\n---\n\nHandling Recording and Responses\n\nFinally, let\u2019s link the recording and response components to ensure the app reacts smoothly to user inputs and provides responses in real-time.\n\n```python\n stream = input_audio.start_recording(\n process_audio,\n [input_audio, state],\n [input_audio, state],\n )\n respond = input_audio.stop_recording(\n response, [state, input_audio], [state, chatbot]\n )\n```\n\nThese lines set up event listeners for starting and stopping the recording, processing the audio input, and generating responses. By linking these events, we create a cohesive experience where users can simply talk, and the chatbot handles the rest.\n\n---\n\n", "heading1": "Key Components", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/automatic-voice-detection", "source_page_title": "Streaming - Automatic Voice Detection Guide"}, {"text": "1. When you open the app, the VAD system automatically initializes and starts listening for speech\n2. As soon as you start talking, it triggers the recording automatically\n3. When you stop speaking, the recording ends and:\n - The audio is transcribed using Whisper\n - The transcribed text is sent to the LLM\n - The LLM generates a response about calorie tracking\n - The response is displayed in the chat interface\n4. This creates a natural back-and-forth conversation where you can simply talk about your meals and get instant feedback on nutritional content\n\nThis app demonstrates how to create a natural voice interface that feels responsive and intuitive. By combining Groq's fast inference with automatic speech detection, we've eliminated the need for manual recording controls while maintaining high-quality interactions. The result is a practical calorie tracking assistant that users can simply talk to as naturally as they would to a human nutritionist.\n\nLink to GitHub repository: [Groq Gradio Basics](https://github.com/bklieger-groq/gradio-groq-basics/tree/main/calorie-tracker)", "heading1": "Summary", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/automatic-voice-detection", "source_page_title": "Streaming - Automatic Voice Detection Guide"}, {"text": "Automatic speech recognition (ASR), the conversion of spoken speech to text, is a very important and thriving area of machine learning. ASR algorithms run on practically every smartphone, and are becoming increasingly embedded in professional workflows, such as digital assistants for nurses and doctors. Because ASR algorithms are designed to be used directly by customers and end users, it is important to validate that they are behaving as expected when confronted with a wide variety of speech patterns (different accents, pitches, and background audio conditions).\n\nUsing `gradio`, you can easily build a demo of your ASR model and share that with a testing team, or test it yourself by speaking through the microphone on your device.\n\nThis tutorial will show how to take a pretrained speech-to-text model and deploy it with a Gradio interface. We will start with a **_full-context_** model, in which the user speaks the entire audio before the prediction runs. Then we will adapt the demo to make it **_streaming_**, meaning that the audio model will convert speech as you speak. \n\nPrerequisites\n\nMake sure you have the `gradio` Python package already [installed](/getting_started). You will also need a pretrained speech recognition model. In this tutorial, we will build demos from 2 ASR libraries:\n\n- Transformers (for this, `pip install torch transformers torchaudio`)\n\nMake sure you have at least one of these installed so that you can follow along the tutorial. You will also need `ffmpeg` [installed on your system](https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html), if you do not already have it, to process files from the microphone.\n\nHere's how to build a real time speech recognition (ASR) app:\n\n1.

Set `streaming=True` in the `Audio` component\n2. Set `live=True` in the `Interface`\n3. Add a `state` to the interface to store the recorded audio of a user\n\nTip: You can also set `time_limit` and `stream_every` parameters in the interface. The `time_limit` caps the amount of time each user's stream can take. The default is 30 seconds so users won't be able to stream audio for more than 30 seconds. The `stream_every` parameter controls how frequently data is sent to your function. By default it is 0.5 seconds.\n\nTake a look below.\n\n$code_stream_asr\n\nNotice that we now have a state variable because we need to track all the audio history. `transcribe` gets called whenever there is a new small chunk of audio, but we also need to keep track of all the audio spoken so far in the state. As the interface runs, the `transcribe` function gets called, with a record of all the previously spoken audio in the `stream` and the new chunk of audio as `new_chunk`. We return the new full audio to be stored back in its current state, and we also return the transcription. Here, we naively append the audio together and call the `transcriber` object on the entire audio. You can imagine more efficient ways of handling this, such as re-processing only the last 5 seconds of audio whenever a new chunk of audio is received. \n\n$demo_stream_asr\n\nNow the ASR model will run inference as you speak! \n", "heading1": "3.

Whenever we call `cap.read()`, we are reading the next frame in the video.\n\nIn order to stream video in Gradio, we need to yield a different video file for each \"chunk\" of the output video.\nWe create the next video file to write to with the `output_video = cv2.VideoWriter(output_video_name, video_codec, desired_fps, (width, height))` line. The `video_codec` is how we specify the type of video file. Only \"mp4\" and \"ts\" files are supported for video sreaming at the moment.\n\n\n2. **The Inference Loop**\n\nFor each frame i", "heading1": "The Inference Function", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/object-detection-from-video", "source_page_title": "Streaming - Object Detection From Video Guide"}, {"text": "dth, height))` line.

Only \"mp4\" and \"ts\" files are supported for video sreaming at the moment.\n\n\n2. **The Inference Loop**\n\nFor each frame in the video, we will resize it to be half the size. OpenCV reads files in `BGR` format, so will convert to the expected `RGB` format of transfomers. That's what the first two lines of the while loop are doing. \n\nWe take every other frame and add it to a `batch` list so that the output video is half the original FPS. When the batch covers two seconds of video, we will run the model. The two second threshold was chosen to keep the processing time of each batch small enough so that video is smoothly displayed in the server while not requiring too many separate forward passes. In order for video streaming to work properly in Gradio, the batch size should be at least 1 second. \n\nWe run the forward pass of the model and then use the `post_process_object_detection` method of the model to scale the detected bounding boxes to the size of the input frame.\n\nWe make use of a custom function to draw the bounding boxes (source [here](https://huggingface.co/spaces/gradio/rt-detr-object-detection/blob/main/draw_boxes.pyL14)).

When using `Blocks` and event listeners, events have a `js` argument that can take a JavaScript function as a string and treat it just like a Python event listener function. You can pass both a JavaScript function and a Python function (in which case the JavaScript function is run first) or only Javascript (and set the Python `fn` to `None`). Take a look at the code below:\n \n$code_blocks_js_methods\n$demo_blocks_js_methods\n\n3. Lastly, you can add JavaScript code to the `head` param of the `Blocks` initializer.

My App

\")\n\ndemo.launch(head=head)\n```\n\nThe `head` parameter accepts any HTML tags you would normally insert into the `` of a page. For example, you can also include `` tags to `head` in order to update the social sharing preview for your Gradio app like this:\n\n```py\nimport gradio as gr\n\ncustom_head = \"\"\"\n\nSample App\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\"\"\"\n\nwith gr.Blocks(title=\"My App\") as demo:\n gr.HTML(\"

You should test your interface across different browsers and be mindful of how scripts may interact with browser defaults. Here's an example where pressing `Shift + s` triggers the `click` event of a specific `Button` component if the browser focus is _not_ on an input component (e.g. `Textbox` component):\n\n```python\nimport gradio as gr\n\nshortcut_js = \"\"\"\n\n\"\"\"\n\nwith gr.Blocks() as demo:\n action_button = gr.Button(value=\"Name\", elem_id=\"my_btn\")\n textbox = gr.Textbox()\n action_button.click(lambda : \"button pressed\", None, textbox)\n \ndemo.launch(head=shortcut_js)\n```\n\n", "heading1": "Adding custom JavaScript to your demo", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/custom-CSS-and-JS", "source_page_title": "Building With Blocks - Custom Css And Js Guide"}, {"text": "In the example below, we will create a variable number of Textboxes.

The `@gr.render` decorator enables this with the following steps:\n\n1. Create a function and attach the @gr.render decorator to it.\n2. Add the input components to the `inputs=` argument of @gr.render, and create a corresponding argument in your function for each component. This function will automatically re-run on any change to a component.\n3. Add all components inside the function that you want to render based on the inputs.\n\nNow whenever the inputs change, the function re-runs, and replaces the components created from the previous function run with the latest run.

The state variable `text_count` is keeping track of the number of Textboxes to create. By clicking on the Add button, we increase `text_count` which triggers the render decorator.\n2. Note that in every single Textbox we create in the render function, we explicitly set a `key=` argument. This key allows us to preserve the value of this Component between re-renders. If you type in a value in a textbox, and then click the Add button, all the Textboxes re-render, but their values aren't cleared because the `key=` maintains the the value of a Component across a render.\n3. We've stored the Textboxes created in a list, and provide this list as input to the merge button event listener. Note that **all event listeners that use Components created inside a render function must also be defined inside that render function**. The event listener can still reference Components outside the render function, as we do here by referencing `merge_btn` and `output` which are both defined outside the render function.\n\nJust as with Components, whenever a function re-renders, the event listeners created from the previous render are cleared and the new event listeners from the latest run are attached. \n\nThis allows us to create highly customizable and complex interactions! \n\n", "heading1": "Dynamic Event Listeners", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/dynamic-apps-with-render-decorator", "source_page_title": "Building With Blocks - Dynamic Apps With Render Decorator Guide"}, {"text": "The `key=` argument tells Gradio that a component being created in a render function corresponds to the same logical component as in the previous render.\n\nThis allows Gradio to reuse the existing browser element instead of destroying and recreating it on every render.

First, try out the to-do list app below: \n\n$code_todo_list\n$demo_todo_list\n\nNote that almost the entire app is inside a single `gr.render` that reacts to the tasks `gr.State` variable. This variable is a nested list, which presents some complexity. If you design a `gr.render` to react to a list or dict structure, ensure you do the following:\n\n1. Any event listener that modifies a state variable in a manner that should trigger a re-render must set the state variable as an output. This lets Gradio know to check if the variable has changed behind the scenes. \n2. In a `gr.render`, if a variable in a loop is used inside an event listener function, that variable should be \"frozen\" via setting it to itself as a default argument in the function header. See how we have `task=task` in both `mark_done` and `delete`. This freezes the variable to its \"loop-time\" value.\n\nLet's take a look at one last example that uses everything we learned. Below is an audio mixer. Provide multiple audio tracks and mix them together.\n\n$code_audio_mixer\n$demo_audio_mixer\n\nTwo things to note in this app:\n1. Here we provide `key=` to all the components! We need to do this so that if we add another track after setting the values for an existing track, our input values to the existing track do not get reset on re-render.\n2. When there are lots of components of different types and arbitrary counts passed to an event listener, it is easier to use the set and dictionary notation for inputs rather than list notation. Above, we make one large set of all the input `gr.Audio` and `gr.Slider` components when we pass the inputs to the `merge` function. In the function body we query the component values as a dict.\n\nThe `gr.render` expands gradio capabilities extensively - see what you can make out of it! \n", "heading1": "Putting it Together", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/dynamic-apps-with-render-decorator", "source_page_title": "Building With Blocks - Dynamic Apps With Render Decorator Guide"}, {"text": "The `gr.HTML` component can also be used to create custom input components by triggering events. You will provide `js_on_load`, javascript code that runs when the component loads.

Below, `btn2` will expand twice as much as `btn1`, while `btn0` will not expand at all:\n\n```python\nwith gr.Blocks() as demo:\n with gr.Row():\n btn0 = gr.Button(\"Button 0\", scale=0)\n btn1 = gr.Button(\"Button 1\", scale=1)\n btn2 = gr.Button(\"Button 2\", scale=2)\n```\n\n- `min_width` will set the minimum width the element will take.

To reiterate, session data is _not_ shared between different users of your model, and does _not_ persist if a user refreshes the page to reload the Gradio app. To store data in a session state, you need to do three things:\n\n1. Create a `gr.State()` object. If there is a default value to this stateful object, pass that into the constructor. Note that `gr.State` objects must be [deepcopy-able](https://docs.python.org/3/library/copy.html), otherwise you will need to use a different approach as described below.\n2.

We have a simple checkout app below where you add items to a cart. You can also see the size of the cart.\n\n$code_simple_state\n\nNotice how we do this with state:\n\n1. We store the cart items in a `gr.State()` object, initialized here to be an empty list.\n2. When adding items to the cart, the event listener uses the cart as both input and output - it returns the updated cart with all the items inside. \n3. We can attach a `.change` listener to cart, that uses the state variable as input as well.\n\nYou can think of `gr.State` as an invisible Gradio component that can store any kind of value. Here, `cart` is not visible in the frontend but is used for calculations.\n\nThe `.change` listener for a state variable triggers after any event listener changes the value of a state variable. If the state variable holds a sequence (like a `list`, `set`, or `dict`), a change is triggered if any of the elements inside change. If it holds an object or primitive, a change is triggered if the **hash** of the value changes.

Use the `api_visibility` parameter in any `Blocks` event listener to control this:\n\n- `\"public\"` (default): The endpoint is shown in API docs and accessible to all\n- `\"undocumented\"`: The endpoint is hidden from API docs but still accessible to downstream apps\n- `\"private\"`: The endpoint is hidden from API docs and not callable by the Gradio client libraries (e.g. `gradio_client` or `@gradio/client`). Note: this does **not** block direct HTTP requests to the endpoint \u2014 it should not be relied upon as a security measure.\n\nTo hide an API endpoint from the documentation while still allowing programmatic access:\n\n```python\nbtn.click(add, [num1, num2], output, api_visibility=\"undocumented\")\n```\n\n**Hiding endpoints from client libraries**\n\nIf you want to hide an API endpoint from the API docs and prevent it from being called by the Gradio client libraries, set `api_visibility=\"private\"`:\n\n```python\nbtn.click(add, [num1, num2], output, api_visibility=\"private\")\n```\n\nNote: setting `api_visibility=\"private\"` also means that downstream apps will not be able to load your Gradio app using `gr.load()` as this function uses the Gradio API under the hood. However, the underlying HTTP endpoint is still accessible \u2014 this setting should not be relied upon for security.\n\n**Adding API endpoints**\n\nYou can also add new API routes to your Gradio application that do not correspond to events in your UI.\n\nFor example, in this Gradio application, we add a new route that ad", "heading1": "Configuring the API Page", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/view-api-page", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - View Api Page Guide"}, {"text": "\n\n**Adding API endpoints**\n\nYou can also add new API routes to your Gradio application that do not correspond to events in your UI.\n\nFor example, in this Gradio application, we add a new route that adds numbers and slices a list:\n\n```py\nimport gradio as gr\nwith gr.Blocks() as demo:\n with gr.Row():\n input = gr.Textbox()\n button = gr.Button(\"Submit\")\n output = gr.Textbox()\n def fn(a: int, b: int, c: list[str]) -> tuple[int, str]:\n return a + b, c[a:b]\n gr.api(fn, api_name=\"add_and_slice\")\n\n_, url, _ = demo.launch()\n```\n\nThis will create a new route `/add_and_slice` which will show up in the \"view API\" page.

Embedding an interactive demo allows people to try out the machine learning model that you have built, without needing to download or install anything \u2014 right in their browser! The best part is that you can embed interactive demos even in static websites, such as GitHub pages.\n\nThere are two ways to embed your Gradio demos. You can find quick links to both options directly on the Hugging Face Space page, in the \"Embed this Space\" dropdown option:\n\n![Embed this Space dropdown option](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/blob/main/guides/assets/embed_this_space.png?raw=true)\n\nEmbedding with Web Components\n\nWeb components typically offer a better experience to users than IFrames. Web components load lazily, meaning that they won't slow down the loading time of your website, and they automatically adjust their height based on the size of the Gradio app.\n\nTo embed with Web Components:\n\n1.

Accepts a `username/space_name` instead of a full URL. Example: `gradio/Echocardiogram-Segmentation`. If this attribute attribute is provided, then `src` does not need to be provided.\n- `control_page_title`: a boolean designating whether the html title of the page should be set to the title of the Gradio app (by default `\"false\"`)\n- `initial_height`: the initial height of the web component while it is loading the Gradio app, (by default `\"300px\"`). Note that the final height is set based on the size of the Gradio app.\n- `container`: whether to show the border frame and information about where the Space is hosted (by default `\"true\"`)\n- `info`: whether to show just the information about where the Space is hosted underneath the embedded app (by default `\"true\"`)\n- `autoscroll`: whether to autoscroll to the output when prediction has finished (by default `\"false\"`)\n- `eager`: whether to load the Gradio app as soon as the page loads (by default `\"false\"`)\n- `theme_mode`: whether to use the `dark`, `light`, or default `system` theme mode (by default `\"system\"`)\n- `render`: an event that is triggered once the embedded space has finished rendering.\n\nHere's an example of how to use these attributes to create a Gradio app that does not lazy load and has an initial height of 0px.\n\n```html\n\n```\n\nHere's another example of how to use the `render` event. An event listener is used to capture the `render` event and will call the `handleLoadComplete()` function once rendering is complete.\n\n```html\n\n```\n\n_Note: While Gradio's CSS will never impact the embedding page, the embedding page can affect the style of the embedded Gradio app. Make sure that any CSS in the parent page isn't so general that it could also apply to the embedded Gradio app and cause the styling to break. Element selectors such as `header { ... }` and `footer { ... }` will be the most likely to cause issues._\n\nEmbedding with IFrames\n\nTo embed with IFrames instead (if you cannot add javascript to your website, for example), add this element:\n\n```html\n\n```\n\nAgain, you can find the `src=` attribute to your Space's embed URL, which you can find in the \"Embed this Space\" button.\n\nNote: if you use IFrames, you'll probably want to add a fixed `height` attribute and set `style=\"border:0;\"` to remove the border.

If you want to log out only from the **current session**, add the query parameter `all_session=false` (i.e. `/logout?all_session=false`).\n\nNote: Gradio's built-in authentication provides a straightforward and basic layer of access control but does not offer robust security features for applications that require stringent access controls (e.g. multi-factor authentication, rate limiting, or automatic lockout policies).\n\nOAuth (Login via Hugging Face)\n\nGradio natively supports OAuth login via Hugging Face. In other words, you can easily add a _\"Sign in with Hugging Face\"_ button to your demo, which allows you to get a user's HF username as well as other information from their HF profile. Check out [this Space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Wauplin/gradio-oauth-demo) for a live demo.\n\nTo enable OAuth, you must set `hf_oauth: true` as a Space metadata in your README.md file. This will register your Space\nas an OAuth application on Hugging Face. Next, you can use `gr.LoginButton` to add a login button to\nyour Gradio app. Once a user is logged in with their HF account, you can retrieve their profile by adding a parameter of type\n`gr.OAuthProfile` to any Gradio function. The user profile will be automatically injected as a parameter value.

To do this, first mount your Gradio app within a FastAPI app ([as discussed above](mounting-within-another-fast-api-app)). Then, you must write an *authentication function*, which gets the user's username from the OAuth provider and returns it. This function should be passed to the `auth_dependency` parameter in `gr.mount_gradio_app`.\n\nSimilar to [FastAPI dependency functions](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/dependencies/), the function specified by `auth_dependency` will run before any Gradio-related route in your FastAPI app. The function should accept a single parameter: the FastAPI `Request` and return either a string (representing a user's username) or `None`. If a string is returned, the user will be able to access the Gradio-related routes in your FastAPI app.\n\nFirst, let's show a simplistic example to illustrate the `auth_dependency` parameter:\n\n```python\nfrom fastapi import FastAPI, Request\nimport gradio as gr\n\napp = FastAPI()\n\ndef get_user(request: Request):\n return request.headers.get(\"user\")\n\ndemo = gr.Interface(lambda s: f\"Hello {s}!\", \"textbox\", \"textbox\")\n\napp = gr.mount_gradio_app(app, demo, path=\"/demo\", auth_dependency=get_user)\n\nif __name__ == '__main__':\n uvicorn.run(app)\n```\n\nIn this example, only requests that include a \"user\" header will be allowed to access the Gradio app. Of course, this does not add much security, since any user can add this header in their request.\n\nHere's a more complete example showing how to add Google OAuth to a Gradio app (assuming you've already created OAuth Credentials on the [Google Developer Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/project)):\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom authlib.integrations.starlette_client import OAuth, OAuthError\nfrom fastapi import FastA", "heading1": "Authentication", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/sharing-your-app", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - Sharing Your App Guide"}, {"text": "entials on the [Google Developer Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/project)):\n\n```python\nimport os\nfrom authlib.integrations.starlette_client import OAuth, OAuthError\nfrom fastapi import FastAPI, Depends, Request\nfrom starlette.config import Config\nfrom starlette.responses import RedirectResponse\nfrom starlette.middleware.sessions import SessionMiddleware\nimport uvicorn\nimport gradio as gr\n\napp = FastAPI()\n\nReplace these with your own OAuth settings\nGOOGLE_CLIENT_ID = \"...\"\nGOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET = \"...\"\nSECRET_KEY = \"...\"\n\nconfig_data = {'GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID': GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, 'GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET': GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET}\nstarlette_config = Config(environ=config_data)\noauth = OAuth(starlette_config)\noauth.register(\n name='google',\n server_metadata_url='https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration',\n client_kwargs={'scope': 'openid email profile'},\n)\n\nSECRET_KEY = os.environ.get('SECRET_KEY') or \"a_very_secret_key\"\napp.add_middleware(SessionMiddleware, secret_key=SECRET_KEY)\n\nDependency to get the current user\ndef get_user(request: Request):\n user = request.session.get('user')\n if user:\n return user['name']\n return None\n\n@app.get('/')\ndef public(user: dict = Depends(get_user)):\n if user:\n return RedirectResponse(url='/gradio')\n else:\n return RedirectResponse(url='/login-demo')\n\n@app.route('/logout')\nasync def logout(request: Request):\n request.session.pop('user', None)\n return RedirectResponse(url='/')\n\n@app.route('/login')\nasync def login(request: Request):\n redirect_uri = request.url_for('auth')\n If your app is running on https, you should ensure that the\n `redirect_uri` is https, e.g. uncomment the following lines:\n \n from urllib.parse import urlparse, urlunparse\n redirect_uri = urlunparse(urlparse(str(redirect_uri))._replace(scheme='https'))\n return await oauth.google.authorize_redirect(request, redirect_uri)\n\n@app.route('/auth')\nasync def auth(request: Reque", "heading1": "Authentication", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/sharing-your-app", "source_page_title": "Additional Features - Sharing Your App Guide"}, {"text": "direct_uri = urlunparse(urlparse(str(redirect_uri))._replace(scheme='https'))\n return await oauth.google.authorize_redirect(request, redirect_uri)\n\n@app.route('/auth')\nasync def auth(request: Request):\n try:\n access_token = await oauth.google.authorize_access_token(request)\n except OAuthError:\n return RedirectResponse(url='/')\n request.session['user'] = dict(access_token)[\"userinfo\"]\n return RedirectResponse(url='/')\n\nwith gr.Blocks() as login_demo:\n gr.Button(\"Login\", link=\"/login\")\n\napp = gr.mount_gradio_app(app, login_demo, path=\"/login-demo\")\n\ndef greet(request: gr.Request):\n return f\"Welcome to Gradio, {request.username}\"\n\nwith gr.Blocks() as main_demo:\n m = gr.Markdown(\"Welcome to Gradio!\")\n gr.Button(\"Logout\", link=\"/logout\")\n main_demo.load(greet, None, m)\n\napp = gr.mount_gradio_app(app, main_demo, path=\"/gradio\", auth_dependency=get_user)\n\nif __name__ == '__main__':\n uvicorn.run(app)\n```\n\nThere are actually two separate Gradio apps in this example!

The number of components should match the number of arguments in your function.\n- `outputs`: the Gradio component(s) to use for the output. The number of components should match the number of return values from your function.\n\nThe `fn` argument is very flexible -- you can pass *any* Python function that you want to wrap with a UI. In the example above, we saw a relatively simple function, but the function could be anything from a music generator to a tax calculator to the prediction function of a pretrained machine learning model.\n\nThe `inputs` and `outputs` arguments take one or more Gradio components. As we'll see, Gradio includes more than [30 built-in components](https://www.gradio.app/docs/gradio/introduction) (such as the `gr.Textbox()`, `gr.Image()`, and `gr.HTML()` components) that are designed for machine learning applications. \n\nTip: For the `inputs` and `outputs` arguments, you can pass in the name of these components as a string (`\"textbox\"`) or an instance of the class (`gr.Textbox()`).\n\nIf your function accepts more than one argument, as is the case above, pass a list of input components to `inputs`, with each input component corresponding to one of the arguments of the function, in order. The same holds true if your function returns more than one value: simply pass in a list of components to `outputs`.

Let's revisit our example demo, but change the last line as follows:\n\n```python\nimport gradio as gr\n\ndef greet(name):\n return \"Hello \" + name + \"!\"\n\ndemo = gr.Interface(fn=greet, inputs=\"textbox\", outputs=\"textbox\")\n \ndemo.launch(share=True) Share your demo with just 1 extra parameter \ud83d\ude80\n```\n\nWhen you run this code, a public URL will be generated for your demo in a matter of seconds, something like:\n\n\ud83d\udc49   `https://a23dsf231adb.gradio.live`\n\nNow, anyone around the world can try your Gradio demo from their browser, while the machine learning model and all computation continues to run locally on your computer.\n\nTo learn more about sharing your demo, read our dedicated guide on [sharing your Gradio application](https://www.gradio.app/guides/sharing-your-app).\n\n\n", "heading1": "Sharing Your Demo", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/quickstart", "source_page_title": "Getting Started - Quickstart Guide"}, {"text": "So far, we've been discussing the `Interface` class, which is a high-level class that lets you build demos quickly with Gradio. But what else does Gradio include?\n\nCustom Demos with `gr.Blocks`\n\nGradio offers a low-level approach for designing web apps with more customizable layouts and data flows with the `gr.Blocks` class. Blocks supports things like controlling where components appear on the page, handling multiple data flows and more complex interactions (e.g. outputs can serve as inputs to other functions), and updating properties/visibility of components based on user interaction \u2014 still all in Python. \n\nYou can build very custom and complex applications using `gr.Blocks()`. For example, the popular image generation [Automatic1111 Web UI](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui) is built using Gradio Blocks. We dive deeper into the `gr.Blocks` on our series on [building with Blocks](https://www.gradio.app/guides/blocks-and-event-listeners).\n\nChatbots with `gr.ChatInterface`\n\nGradio includes another high-level class, `gr.ChatInterface`, which is specifically designed to create Chatbot UIs. Similar to `Interface`, you supply a function and Gradio creates a fully working Chatbot UI. If you're interested in creating a chatbot, you can jump straight to [our dedicated guide on `gr.ChatInterface`](https://www.gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast).\n\nThe Gradio Python & JavaScript Ecosystem\n\nThat's the gist of the core `gradio` Python library, but Gradio is actually so much more! It's an entire ecosystem of Python and JavaScript libraries that let you build machine learning applications, or query them programmatically, in Python or JavaScript. Here are other related parts of the Gradio ecosystem:\n\n* [Gradio Python Client](https://www.gradio.app/guides/getting-started-with-the-python-client) (`gradio_client`): query any Gradio app programmatically in Python.\n* [Gradio JavaScript Client](https://www.gradio.app/guides/getting-started-with-", "heading1": "An Overview of Gradio", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/quickstart", "source_page_title": "Getting Started - Quickstart Guide"}, {"text": ".app/guides/getting-started-with-the-python-client) (`gradio_client`): query any Gradio app programmatically in Python.\n* [Gradio JavaScript Client](https://www.gradio.app/guides/getting-started-with-the-js-client) (`@gradio/client`): query any Gradio app programmatically in JavaScript.\n* [Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces): the most popular place to host Gradio applications \u2014 for free!\n* [Server mode](https://www.gradio.app/guides/server-mode) (`gradio.Server`): build a completely custom frontend using only Gradio's backend (queue, streaming, MCP, ZeroGPU, and Spaces hosting included).\n\n", "heading1": "An Overview of Gradio", "source_page_url": "https://gradio.app/guides/quickstart", "source_page_title": "Getting Started - Quickstart Guide"}, {"text": "Keep learning about Gradio sequentially using the Gradio Guides, which include explanations as well as example code and embedded interactive demos.
