@component
class AnswerJoiner:
    """
    Merges multiple lists of `Answer` objects into a single list.

    Use this component to combine answers from different Generators into a single list.
    Currently, the component supports only one join mode: `CONCATENATE`.
    This mode concatenates multiple lists of answers into a single list.

    ### Usage example

    In this example, AnswerJoiner merges answers from two different Generators:

    ```python
    from haystack.components.builders import AnswerBuilder
    from haystack.components.joiners import AnswerJoiner

    from haystack.core.pipeline import Pipeline

    from haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator
    from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage


    query = "What's Natural Language Processing?"
    messages = [ChatMessage.from_system("You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Be super concise."),
                ChatMessage.from_user(query)]

    pipe = Pipeline()
    pipe.add_component("gpt-4o", OpenAIChatGenerator(model="gpt-4o"))
    pipe.add_component("llama", OpenAIChatGenerator(model="gpt-3.5-turbo"))
    pipe.add_component("aba", AnswerBuilder())
    pipe.add_component("abb", AnswerBuilder())
    pipe.add_component("joiner", AnswerJoiner())

    pipe.connect("gpt-4o.replies", "aba")
    pipe.connect("llama.replies", "abb")
    pipe.connect("aba.answers", "joiner")
    pipe.connect("abb.answers", "joiner")

    results = pipe.run(data={"gpt-4o": {"messages": messages},
                                "llama": {"messages": messages},
                                "aba": {"query": query},
                                "abb": {"query": query}})
