GO for Large LanguagE Model (GOLLEM)

gollem provides:

• Common interface to query prompt to Large Language Model (LLM) services
  • Generate / Stream: Generate text content from prompt (with per-call option overrides)
  • GenerateEmbedding: Generate embedding vector from text (OpenAI and Gemini)
• Framework for building agentic applications of LLMs with
  • Tools by MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and your built-in tools
  • Automatic session management for continuous conversations
  • Portable conversational memory with history for stateless/distributed applications
  • Intelligent memory management with automatic history compaction
  • Middleware system for monitoring, logging, and controlling agent behavior

Supported LLMs

• [x] Gemini (see models)
• [x] Anthropic Claude (see models)
  • Direct access via Anthropic API
  • Via Google Vertex AI (see LLM Provider Configuration)
• [x] OpenAI (see models)

Install

go get github.com/gollem-dev/gollem

Quick Start

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/gollem-dev/gollem"
	"github.com/gollem-dev/gollem/llm/openai"
)

func main() {
	ctx := context.Background()

	// Create LLM client
	client, err := openai.New(ctx, os.Getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Create session for one-time query
	session, err := client.NewSession(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Generate content
	result, err := session.Generate(ctx, []gollem.Input{gollem.Text("Hello, how are you?")})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(result.Texts)
}

Features

Agent Framework

Build conversational agents with automatic session management and tool integration. Learn more →

agent := gollem.New(client,
	gollem.WithTools(&GreetingTool{}),
	gollem.WithSystemPrompt("You are a helpful assistant."),
)

// Session is managed automatically across calls
agent.Execute(ctx, "Hello!")
agent.Execute(ctx, "What did I just say?") // remembers context

Tool Integration

Define custom tools for LLMs to call, or connect external tools via MCP. Tools → | MCP →

// Custom tool - implement Spec() and Run()
type SearchTool struct{}

func (t *SearchTool) Spec() gollem.ToolSpec {
	return gollem.ToolSpec{
		Name:        "search",
		Description: "Search the database",
		Parameters:  map[string]*gollem.Parameter{
			"query": {Type: gollem.TypeString, Description: "Search query"},
		},
	}
}

func (t *SearchTool) Run(ctx context.Context, args map[string]any) (map[string]any, error) {
	return map[string]any{"results": doSearch(args["query"].(string))}, nil
}

// MCP server - connect external tool servers
mcpClient, _ := mcp.NewStdio(ctx, "./mcp-server", []string{})
agent := gollem.New(client,
	gollem.WithTools(&SearchTool{}),
	gollem.WithToolSets(mcpClient),
)

Multimodal Input

Send images and PDFs alongside text prompts. Learn more →

img, _ := gollem.NewImage(imageBytes)
pdf, _ := gollem.NewPDFFromReader(file)

result, _ := session.Generate(ctx, []gollem.Input{img, pdf, gollem.Text("Describe these.")})

Structured Output

Constrain LLM responses to a JSON Schema. Learn more →

schema, _ := gollem.ToSchema(UserProfile{})
session, _ := client.NewSession(ctx,
	gollem.WithSessionContentType(gollem.ContentTypeJSON),
	gollem.WithSessionResponseSchema(schema),
)
resp, _ := session.Generate(ctx, []gollem.Input{gollem.Text("Extract: John, 30, [email protected]")})
// resp.Texts[0] is valid JSON matching the schema

For one-shot queries, Query[T]() combines schema generation, session creation, LLM call, and JSON parsing into a single generic function call with automatic retry on parse failures:

type UserProfile struct {
	Name  string `json:"name" description:"User's full name"`
	Age   int    `json:"age" description:"Age in years"`
	Email string `json:"email" description:"Email address"`
}

result, _ := gollem.Query[UserProfile](ctx, client, "Extract: John, 30, [email protected]",
	gollem.WithQuerySystemPrompt("You are a data extractor."),
)
// result.Data is *UserProfile — type-safe, already parsed

To run a structured query on an existing session (preserving conversation history), use SessionQuery[T]():

// session already has conversation context from prior Generate calls
resp, _ := gollem.SessionQuery[UserProfile](ctx, session, "Who am I?")
// resp.Data is *UserProfile, parsed from the LLM's JSON response
// The session's history (including this exchange) is preserved

Middleware

Monitor, log, and control agent behavior with composable middleware. Learn more →

agent := gollem.New(client,
	gollem.WithToolMiddleware(func(next gollem.ToolHandler) gollem.ToolHandler {
		return func(ctx context.Context, req *gollem.ToolExecRequest) (*gollem.ToolExecResponse, error) {
			log.Printf("Tool called: %s", req.Tool.Name)
			return next(ctx, req)
		}
	}),
)

Strategy Pattern

Swap execution strategies: simple, ReAct, or Plan & Execute. Learn more →

import "github.com/gollem-dev/gollem/strategy/planexec"

agent := gollem.New(client,
	gollem.WithStrategy(planexec.New(client)),
	gollem.WithTools(&SearchTool{}, &AnalysisTool{}),
)

Tracing

Observe agent execution with pluggable backends (in-memory, OpenTelemetry). Learn more →

import "github.com/gollem-dev/gollem/trace"

rec := trace.New(trace.WithRepository(trace.NewFileRepository("./traces")))
agent := gollem.New(client, gollem.WithTrace(rec))

History Management

Portable conversation history for stateless/distributed applications. Learn more →

// Export history for persistence
history := agent.Session().History()
data, _ := json.Marshal(history)

// Restore in another process
var restored gollem.History
json.Unmarshal(data, &restored)
agent := gollem.New(client, gollem.WithHistory(&restored))

For automatic persistence, implement HistoryRepository and pass it via WithHistoryRepository. gollem then loads history at the start of a session and saves it after every LLM round-trip — no manual marshaling required.

agent := gollem.New(client,
    gollem.WithHistoryRepository(repo, "session-id"),
)

// History is loaded automatically on first Execute, and saved after each round-trip
err := agent.Execute(ctx, gollem.Text("Hello!"))
