Provides a unified TypeScript interface layer that abstracts over heterogeneous AI provider APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Grok, Azure OpenAI) with compile-time type safety. Uses provider-specific adapter classes that normalize request/response formats and handle provider-specific quirks, allowing developers to swap providers without changing application code. Each adapter implements a common interface contract that maps to Inngest's event-driven execution model.
Unique: Integrates AI provider abstraction directly into Inngest's event-driven execution model, allowing LLM calls to be reliably retried, queued, and tracked as first-class workflow steps with built-in durability guarantees rather than treating them as external API calls
vs alternatives: Unlike generic LLM SDKs (LangChain, LlamaIndex), this abstraction is purpose-built for Inngest workflows, providing automatic retry logic, event sourcing, and distributed tracing without additional configuration
Implements function calling (tool use) across providers with different schema formats by normalizing tool definitions into a canonical schema format, then translating to provider-specific representations (OpenAI's function_calling format, Anthropic's tool_use, etc.). Handles provider differences in how they declare parameters, return types, and tool selection logic. Automatically marshals function results back into the LLM context for multi-turn tool-use workflows.
Unique: Normalizes tool schemas at the Inngest workflow level, allowing tool definitions to be stored as workflow state and reused across multiple LLM calls within a single Inngest function, with automatic context injection and result marshaling
vs alternatives: More lightweight than LangChain's tool abstraction because it doesn't require agent frameworks; tools are first-class Inngest workflow primitives with built-in durability and replay semantics
Provides batch processing capabilities for high-volume LLM requests, leveraging provider-native batch APIs (OpenAI Batch API, Anthropic Batch API) to reduce costs and latency. Automatically groups requests into batches, submits them to providers, and polls for results. Integrates with Inngest's event system to track batch status and emit events when batches complete. Supports cost optimization strategies like batching similar requests together and prioritizing cheaper models for batch processing.
Unique: Integrates batch processing as a native Inngest workflow capability with automatic polling and event emission, allowing batch jobs to be tracked and managed alongside real-time LLM calls
vs alternatives: More convenient than direct batch API usage because it handles polling and result aggregation automatically; more cost-effective than real-time APIs for high-volume workloads because it leverages provider batch discounts
Implements caching of LLM requests and responses with optional semantic deduplication (detecting similar prompts that would produce similar outputs). Uses configurable cache backends (in-memory, Redis, Inngest event store) and supports cache invalidation strategies. Automatically deduplicates requests based on exact match (fast) or semantic similarity (slower but catches paraphrased prompts). Integrates with Inngest's event system to track cache hits/misses and enable cost analysis.
Unique: Integrates caching with Inngest's event system, allowing cache hits/misses to be tracked as events and enabling cost analysis based on cache effectiveness across the entire workflow execution history
vs alternatives: More sophisticated than simple key-value caching because it supports semantic deduplication; more integrated than external caching layers because it's aware of Inngest workflow context and can make cache decisions based on event history
Enables extraction of structured data (JSON, typed objects) from LLM responses by specifying output schemas and delegating to provider-specific structured output mechanisms (OpenAI's JSON mode, Anthropic's structured output, Gemini's schema constraints). Automatically validates responses against the declared schema and provides type-safe access to extracted fields. Handles provider differences in how they enforce schema compliance and error recovery when responses don't match the schema.
Unique: Integrates structured output as a first-class Inngest workflow capability, allowing schema-constrained LLM calls to be retried and replayed with full durability guarantees, rather than treating structured output as a client-side concern
vs alternatives: Unlike prompt-engineering-based extraction (e.g., 'respond in JSON'), this uses provider-native schema enforcement for higher reliability; unlike generic validation libraries, it's optimized for LLM output validation within event-driven workflows
Provides streaming support for LLM responses (token-by-token output) with automatic integration into Inngest's event system. Streams are buffered and can be emitted as Inngest events, allowing downstream workflow steps to process partial results in real-time. Handles provider-specific streaming protocols (Server-Sent Events, WebSocket) and normalizes them into a common stream interface. Manages backpressure and ensures streamed data is durably logged in Inngest's event store.
Unique: Bridges streaming LLM responses with Inngest's event-driven architecture, allowing streamed tokens to be emitted as durable events that can trigger downstream workflow steps, rather than treating streaming as a client-only concern
vs alternatives: Unlike generic streaming libraries, this maintains full Inngest durability semantics for streamed data; unlike WebSocket-based streaming, it integrates with Inngest's event sourcing for reliable replay and auditing
Automatically tracks token consumption (input/output tokens) for each LLM call and aggregates usage across providers with different pricing models. Provides cost estimation based on provider-specific pricing rates (updated periodically) and supports custom pricing configuration. Integrates with Inngest's event metadata to attach usage data to each workflow execution, enabling cost analysis and budgeting. Handles provider differences in how they report token counts (e.g., Claude's token counting API vs OpenAI's inline reporting).
Unique: Integrates cost tracking directly into Inngest's event metadata, allowing cost data to be queried alongside workflow execution history and enabling cost-based workflow optimization at the event level
vs alternatives: More granular than provider-level billing dashboards because it tracks costs per Inngest function execution; more accurate than client-side estimation because it uses actual token counts from provider responses
Implements provider-aware retry logic that distinguishes between transient failures (rate limits, temporary outages) and permanent failures (invalid API key, model not found). Uses exponential backoff with jitter and provider-specific retry strategies (e.g., respecting Retry-After headers from OpenAI). Integrates with Inngest's built-in retry mechanism to ensure failed LLM calls are automatically retried as part of the workflow execution, with full durability guarantees. Provides configurable retry policies per provider or model.
Unique: Leverages Inngest's native retry mechanism to provide durable, automatically-replayed LLM calls with provider-aware backoff strategies, rather than implementing retries at the application level
vs alternatives: More reliable than client-side retry logic because retries are durably logged in Inngest's event store; more sophisticated than generic retry libraries because it understands provider-specific error semantics and rate limit headers
